Trek Babes

I've seen Marianna in several other period TV shows (watching a lot of that on DVD lately), and the woman is a chameleon. VERY good actress. She's often so different in each role that it takes me a while to recognize her.

 

haha i love how many posts come flooding in for 'who's the hottest...?' threads ;P
What about nurse Chapel? I always thought she was beautiful...especially in that mood lighting star trek was so fond of.
I went through a major Spock/Chapel phase actually...

 

ALSO Barbara Babcock. Stunning. So pretty, in fact, that they just couldnt help using her in two seperate episodes.

 

I like the woman who played Zarabeth. Her sexiness + the stripping of the fur in front of Spock + Spock watching + Spock's sexiness + Zarabeth seduces Spock and they make love = many tributaries of sexiness flowing into one great big erotic ocean.

Anybody else love Yesterday's Son (AC Crispin)? Way to go, Spock! Atta boy!

 

Mariette Hartley. Indeed a beautiful woman, though it's a little weird to hear her referred to as "the woman who played Zarabeth." She's probably best known for her role in Rockford (and all those camera commercials with Garner).

 

And for playing Lyra-A, the girl with two belly buttons in Gene Roddenberry's failed pilot Genesis II.

 

As a matter of fact, I just finished re-reading it day before yesterday. I thought it was well written, with excellent characterizations, though the story was kinda pointless and the ending was a little weak. I am currently 15 pages into Time for Yesterday, the sequel. So far it seems to be shaping up better.

 

Yvonne Craig was every bit as delectable when she wasn't painted green. In this Man from UNCLE scene, she showed us a lot of her gorgeous body. Nearly all of it, in fact. (It's okay, it's SFW. )

 

This! She is soooo pretty with her reddish hair and lovely smile. I also like Zarabeth for not being perfect, but instead displaying a very understandable weakness by not giving Spock all of the details about her imprisonment on the planet, making him think he and McCoy are stuck there like she is. I can't help but feel sorry for her and forgive her overwhelming desire to keep them there. She ends up doing the right thing in the end.

Aside from all that, it really is just a sexy episode all around.

 

It's interesting how our tastes change as we age. As a kid, I never thought she was attractive. The other day, I finally watched Plato's Stepchildren on BD. It's my least favorite of any ST episode, so I avoided it as long as possible. I've probably only seen this episode a handful of times over the past 35 years.

Anyway, Babcock was absolutely stunning in this episode. She was a bit stern and reserved in Armageddon, but here she was fresh and gorgeous. She had beautiful skin. I'm sure my appreciation was "Theissified" by her costume.

Strngely enough, I really started noticing Barbara Babcock in Hill Street Blues when she played middle-aged siren Grace Gardener. I noticed because she was still every bit as beautiful as she was in her 20s or 30s. I went back to the Trek episodes and realized, yeah! Maybe when I was 10 or 12 I didn't notice because she wasn't as flashy as Nona or Andrea. But now I consider her one fo the great beauties of the time.

And Yvonne Craig has ALWAYS been simply one of my favorite sexy girls.

 

Ho-lee cow....

 

I always thought Majel Barret and Nichelle Nichols were great looking. But as for the women who only appeared once I would also choose Nancy Kovak who played Spock's wife in Amok Time, something about that Vulcan make-up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

You must be thinking of Arlene Martel, who played T’Pring, Spock's betrothed (not his wife). Nancy Kovack played Nona in “A Private Little War.” They were both great beauties.

 

Barbara Luna by far.

 

That was Arlene Martel. Nancy Kovack played Nona in "A Private Little War". T'Pring was a gorgeous ice queen, Nona was a smoking hot seductress/sorceress who provided some of the most blatantly erotic moments on TOS.

 

Not to mention extreme hotness in the 2nd season blooper reel. Too hot for censors, for sure!

 

I appreciate humor like this. Very funny!
