Kirk's Orion bed buddy

Hey, it just occurred to me that she may not be dead. Shuttles to evacuate + shuttles with warp capability may = Gaila made it to the regroup rendezvous point.
 
Too bad they killed her off, would have liked to have seen her pop up again ;) She was pretty hot... ALTHOUGH I suppose maybe she was not a native born Orion. Or her poppa was a human and she was a half-breed that joined her father on Earth and joined the Academy, which is why she's a tad more human acting. OR she's just been around humans long enough and acts like one more often than not.

Maybe she's from Troyius?
 
As for who asked where I found that pic - Google searched Star Trek 2008 and I found it! Can't remember which site had it but I thought it was great! A while back I used to Role Play an NPC that was an Andorian/Human hybrid spy gal. Kinda acted a bit like her too. But the ditzy thing was an act, peole would see the boobs, the legs, think "eh she's just a sexy girl... nothin' to worry about."

More I think about it... she'll be back. She's probably on a shuttle with a half dozen other Starfleet guys... and making them fight each other. Just to hold her hand. They'd have to kill someone to even get to second base with her.
 
i didn't find the orion woman in XI too attractive once the lights came on. seemed like a typical blonde bimbo with green paint. the sexiest orion women i've seen were in the series Star Trek Enterprise. wowza!
 
I'm just confused that she was in Starfleet at all. Does the military arm of the Federation allow non-member species to join their military academy? Because I really can't see the Orions being a member of the Federation.
 
I didn't mind them using the (not actually true) cliche of "Kirk banging green chicks" but she certainly could have been more exotic and alien. Susan Oliver she wasn't.

Nog joined Starfleet in DS9, and I doubt the Ferengi are members either.
 
I thought Orion women during classic Trek were all slaves and under the control of the Orion men. It was interesting to see a liberated green Star Fleet cadet.

I'm a little disappointed with the Orion cadet. If she lost the green skin, her character wouldn't have changed at all. She was far too human and nothing really alien about her.

Personally, I like ENT's version of Orion women and they are liberated in their own way too and still alien.

You got a good point that other people replying to you didn't grasp. Whats the point of having alien (or doing Sci-fi Star Trek for that matter), if aliens are behaving exactly like any 21st century human.

Sure its possible to have an Alien (Orion, Vulcan, Romulan, Klingon) acting completely like a human being. In the sense, that they can have some diversity too in their culture. But whats the point?

If their differences with the rest of their Alien culture is not the base of the story. For example, a Klingon which doesn't believe in honor and violence being ostracized by the others. Then its a waste of make up.
 
^I got what he said, read through the thread again. :)

Anyway, she never came across as "alien" to me. She seemed like any human girl from North America, and we shouldn't be American centric and think her behavior is indicative of "all human women" on planet Earth across the board. No, she just seemed like a random somewhat prissy white human chick from California or somewhere, just painted green. It's left to the viewer to fill in the blanks that I guess she just grew up around San Fransico or whatever and she just acts like the locals, but that kind of storytelling sorta sucks.

So what did you want, then. Her flapping her nipples about everytime she talked, or trying to put her big toe in his ear because that's her sensitive spot?

Worf is another example.

Given the timeline has changed it might be possible that the Orions joined the Federation for some reason.

You may need corrective lenses.

That might not have been a bad idea. It would have been more alien then just a west coast chick painted green.
 
Is the actress in another scene - at the end of the film there is a human bridge officer with pulled up ginger hair - I'm sure it's same actress?
