The yeomen didn’t get much screen time to make an impression on us. They operated mostly in the background heightening the impression of a real ship that needed lower ranks as well as officers. Except for Rand, we would see each in only one episode. So if they were to touch us, they had to do it quickly with a facial expression, a few movements, some choice words. So, who succeeded? What’s your favorite yeoman moment? It can be a comic bit, a little show of heroism, a trenchant comment (please, forget the hotness factor just this once). I choose Yeoman Mears in Galileo 7 who showed grace in the middle of mortal fear and professionalism second only to Mr. Scott. (I choose to unsee the unfortunate frog jump at the end.)
On a secondary note, where did all the yeomen go? In running through them for this post, I can’t recall any after the Apple. Am I missing someone?
