Stadi

[Anubis]

I recently rewatched Caretaker and when Lieutenant Stadi came on screen some memories came flooding back. I remembered that when I watched the original premiere of the show, I was crushed when she was killed. I thought that not only was she beautiful, the scene she has with Paris is great and I felt it was a real shame she died. Re-watching it, I still feel the same way honestly. Anyone else out there have any love for Stadi?

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... Yeah.

Nice lady. Between the alternate universe stories and the prequel time travel and flash back stories... You'd think that they could have squeezed in such a magnificent picture of womanhood back onto the show just so I could drool a little?

Did you see that Episode of Andromeda, set in an alternate universe where Kevin Sorbo was murdered in the pilot instead of his XO, and the XO tried to save the universe instead? i laughed my ass off when I saw that he was the XO aboard the Battlestar Pegasus.

Dead is never dead.

I liked Stadi too. They totally lost their chance to do a story in the vein of The Godfather.

Someone watched Andromeda?!

that episode of andromeda was probably the best of the entire third season

Their casting people actually knew how to find incredibly attractive people... And that Engineer lad was insanely funny. But Sorbo was a tiresom waste of flesh... But yes, %90 of Andromeda was complete drenn. In my defense I only watched it because it was on inbetween Stargate SG1 and Farscape on Scifi Sunday.

Stadi makes even tripe like Jericho watchable.

She looks much older (but still hot) on Jericho.

Being older ourselves one and all, I find myself less attracted to children in their early 20s and I am glad she has grown with me.

Guy likes 'em mature.

A friend of mine at the age of 39 weeped when I told her that Anne Bancroft was was 36 or a little younger during the filming of the Graduate, after she made some allusions about what she expected to do in her later years to the paper boy.

Mature is in the hand of the beholder.

Alicia Coppola is losing ground, staying young because middle age is being constantly redefined on a sliding scale resting currently on the other side of 50.

Stadi is a hottie!!
I thought the briefly shown Stadi was great. They created a character who was able to generate empathy (not a pun. I know she was a Betazoid) from the audience, and cause them to feel something when she died, after only 1 or 2 scenes.
Well done.

I'd love to see Actress Alicia Coppola (Lieutenant Stadi, Season One of "Star Trek: Voyager" & IRS Auditor Mimi Clark of "Jericho") featured in more "Star Trek" fan fiction. She's too often cast as a bitchy, narrow-minded, uber-clenched control freak. I'd like to soften her up as a Starfleet Officer character, along the feminine guidelines of Troi but with an understandably guarded quality about her a-la Tasha Yar.

Thoughts?

before Tom was a terrorist, he'd accidentally manslaughted some classmates at the academy. Released early from some Camp X-Ray like concentration camp a few hours earlier to betray the confidences his friends put in him, blondie starts putting the moves on a telepath.

How exactly was Stadi supposed to react to this BOY still stinking of barbed wire making obvious maneuverer's to put his John Thomas into her... He's lucky she didn't punch him in the nose for being so crass.

Stadi is definentely one of those characters who's pre-Voyager life I'd like to see explored. Lon Suder as well.

Killing Stadi was a bold and lame thing to do. There could have been a lot of story arcs with her. The actress was not only pretty but a better actress than some of their extras.

Coco Chanel said that when accessorizing, always remove the last thing you put on, if you want to look faaaaaabulous.

It's funny how much she stands out. I couldn't have cared less about the original CMO, and Jeff McCarthy is a good actor to boot. There's just something about Stadi.

I think I may have come up with a new movie!

 

[Guy Gardener]

Well she was the poster child for the dead. Janeway lost a lot of crew. Over 30. And we won't care unless it's someone we know about enough to have already fallen in love with.

That was probably on the casting sheet.

I found her rather unremarkable, and, aside from her beauty, I'm at a loss to understand everyone's infatuation with her.

Apparently, she is the Helen Noel of Voyager.

Lame, maybe, but bold, not at all. Stadi basically existed as a character to be killed off. That was her raison d'etre. To make Voyager a little edgier than TNG, a number of the senior staff were killed off so they could be replaced by the Maquis, an ex-convict, and a backup program. Of those characters Stadi was the only one they bothered spending any real time on, probably to get a reaction out of the audience when she does go. This is the safest method of death possible.
