That is pretty good.

A shame his yeoman disappeared, mysteriously.

She was hot!

the girl in the last pic looks like Lady Gaga!

IIRC, she still works the sci-fi con circuit. I forget her name though.

> I forget her name though

Grace Lee Whitney is the actress, Janice Rand the character.

She had to go since Kirk could not have a steady girlfriend…

I'm right with the Captain on this. Would be very hard to focus on work.

She does look like Lady Gaga.

Well,they werent exactly trying to hide the cleavage.

No, Lady Gaga looks like Yeoman Rand.

I'm more of a Yeoman Colt man myself.

In fairness to James T Kirk, if he is staring [and I don't think all of these snapshots are conclusive] he is only staring where the camera and costumes are already telling the audience to stare.

As was mentioned on the blog, Miss Pettyjohn was also an 80's porn star, at least according to wiki:

So by extension, Lady Gaga looks like the star of (amongst other things) Stalag 69. Think about that the next time she's grinding her music into your ears. :)

She'd be cuter without the "terrified schoolgirl" look on her face. You can practically see the "You want me to do what?" thought balloon there, and that's not right.

Ryker was the Kirk of TNG…

Yeah, I probably could've picked a better photo, I just grabbed the first image I could link to, I hope I didn't come off as a creep.

Kirk had more class, and better taste in women.

On a side note, Kirk really didn't pursue that many women on the show. When he did, it was often to achieve information or a tactical advantage that would preserve his crew, his ship, or the safety of the Federation. Other times he was under the influence of outside events.

For example, the photos of him "ogling" Rand are from the episode The Enemy Within, and are actually of the "savage Kirk" duplicate, who was driven solely by his primal and aggressive nature, without his intellect or compassionate side in play.

The stills of him eyeing the young psychiatrist are from The Dagger of the Mind, where Kirk and the young officer had met at a Starfleet Christmas party and had danced together. Later the psychiatrist reveals that Kirk had not seduced her at all, and in jest uses the central device of the plot to give Kirk a false memory that he had, to his pain and her regret.

The "Lady Gaga" girl is "pursued" by Kirk in order to gain her assistance in resisting their captors (a quite common occurrence).

Indeed Kirk is only known to have definitely gone beyond kissing with three women in the course of the show: His evil counterpart's mistress in the Mirror universe (to avoid discovery of he and his officers' predicament), the leader of a group that have captured his ship and crew (to deceive her and obtain his men's release), and his Native American wife Miramanee (when he had amnesia). Carol Marcus is added as a past conquest in the movies (note that the dialogue in STII:TWoK implies that he proposed and she rejected him). More often than not, Kirk is the one who suffers from the consequences of his attractions— three women die (or short circuit) on him, and one marries someone else. Kirk may charm the ladies, but he's not James Bond.

Riker, on the other hand, tends to treat women like notches on his bed post, and almost gets his entire ship captured and the Federation overwhelmed because of a dalliance with what can only be classed as a pleasure planet prostitute. Kirk would never take such a risk, or be so stupid in the selection of a woman he would pursue. Note that Kirk also tends to pursue intellectual women. Beautiful, yes, but he seems to care even more what they think. Riker doesn't appear to give a flip about brains. Kirk is a captain; Riker is a cad.

To be fair, it is hard to find images of here where she isn't staring rather intently with a expression of concern on her face – or maybe it's just those striking eyes that make her look nervous.

Worth mentioning that her actress, Laurel Goodwin, first appeared as Elvis Presley's love interest in Girls, Girls, Girls.

Pretty young thing when she smiles.

IIRC, The actress that played Yeoman Rand was in later ST movies … but with a higher rank and a bit more weight … From what I understand she and Bill S. had a bit of a "thing" going on off camera …

> IIRC, The actress that played Yeoman Rand was in later ST movies

When the Enterpise enters the Space Dock in ST3, she is the woman watching from the observation deck. That is the only one I know for sure.

That would be Grace Lee Whitney, who appeared in several of the movies, first as transporter chief (where she was a CPO) and winding up as a Lieutenant Junior Grade. She was written out of the show after being in 8 of the first 13 episodes, the cited reason usually being that her character had been written as a love interest and the studio execs insisted that Kirk be "unencumbered" so that he could romance a succession of guest stars instead.

Her autobiography is an interesting read. She was sexually assaulted by one of those studio execs (which raises some real questions about why Rand was written off), further devastated when Rand was removed from the program by fiat, and had significant problems with alcohol and marijuana abuse after her firing (and before, according to some reports). She did manage to pull through all that, and had a reasonably successful career afterwards, including the aforementioned movie appearances. Still going strong at 83, last I checked.

She was also the very first Chicken of the Sea mermaid.

Good intel Chief !

Very good indeed!.
