"Star Trek TOS S1 Ep6: Mudd's Women" Topic

""Even at this early stage of the game, there was no mistaking Bill's [Theiss] fondness for for flashing female flesh, as he almost immediately pulled the pants off our female crew members, and replaced them with (and I mean short) miniskirts. Even within our first handful of episodes, Theiss had begun his series-long habit of keeping our guest actresses chilly … and nearly naked. One look at Mudd's women or at the 'dress' that Sherry Jackson's barely wearing in What Are Little Girls Made Of? proves this point quite nicely." -William Shatner with Chris Kreski, Memories [1993] [p.86] speaking of Theiss eye for the ladies as well as his skill at creating an Enterprise uniform-
It's clear to me now Star Trek: The Next Generation Season One fails to rival Star Trek: The Original Series on every level including the hot babe quotient. Are these women not some of the finest of the female population?! Sexist or not, ST:TOS got it right on every front [most of the time]…"

Fun Fact: The top part of the outfit worn by the female android in "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" was originally much more modest, but the actor found it uncomfortable when she moved her arms, so she herself folded the panels up by about two inches and requested they be sewn into that position.

I must admit i created a set of video's on the Star Trek Timeline and i had no lack of images of pretty star trek women to use in it. What a great TV-Series.

"Sexist" Bullcrap. Sex sells because men LIKE it. A 5 minute conversation with a young woman is better for an older man's cardio health than 2 hrs of yoga(in my case, Karate, I'm betting). That's probably even without flirting, nevermind anything else!

Do companies NOT charge women thru the teeth for pink & purple toiletries, flowery decorations and what they charge for clothes and shoes?! That would be a case of "Sell to sexes" but the basis is the same.

I met a captivating doctor from Nicaragua when we were both 27. She was NOT AT ALL like Canadian women; she said "I am a woman and you are a man; we are different and that is good!" It made me realize the propaganda I'd been subjected to over the previous 10 years. In North America it's like they're trying to remove all differences and remove all traces of male heterosexuality and female display of the same.

Trek was also HOT babes. Capable and intelligent indeed; but still HOT. That's part and parcel of my Trek, thank you very much!

"There's only one kind of woman. You either believe in yourself or you don't."

So true!

uhhhh…. doesn't that make TWO kinds of woman?

Ummm….no!
Same women different state of mind.
