I remember that, in one of the many Trek documentaries I’ve watched, this was some sort of misguided 1980s attempt by Gene Rodenberry to be gender-neutral when it came to the objectification of bodies in Trek. Interesting how everyone thought it was awkward once the roles were reversed.
Too bad they didn’t learn, “perhaps we should just stop doing this,” and went back to, “let’s just go back to doing this only to women.” Then we careened into the 90s space babe era.
The Fifty-Year Mission, that was it. It was made into a documentary that’s on P+.
Edit: IIRC, the book’s the memoirs of legendary Trek writer and on-again, off-again Roddenberry mistress D. C. Fontana who is also interviewed in the documentary. It’s a good one!
Deanna looks positively thrilled.
Mines more like a stump after an angry beaver is done with it.
Sad sock puppet checking in.
*Nipple alert
Back in the 1980’s they weren’t afraid to show a nipple.
First season Riker…? Well… 😬
this was before he developed a back issue, from too much sex appeal.
