I'm so glad they got rid of Janeway's gramma bun.

My son was smitten with 7 of 9 and used to videotape her for instant playback.

What about Troi's gramma bun

In Troi's case, it gave her a classic Grecian look, not Janeway's rugged pioneer woman on the prairie appearance.

( not Janeway's rugged pioneer woman on the prairie appearance. )

I never saw it that way but now I'll always see it that way.

But on the show she was Betazoid, not Greek

Yeah, but I saw a lot of elements in Betazoid culture that reminded me of ancient Greece and other ancient cultures.

It's all Greek to me

You agree?

kpowers said:

Just my opinion, but I always thought a variation on this hairstyle was the most attractive on Captain Janeway.

Even when Kate Mulgrew starred on Mrs. Columbo I thought her hair looked better down at that length. Too bad Mrs. Columbo and Mr. Columbo never got to make at least one appearance together...

Captain Kirk's ultimate crew

I'm sure the... energetic young Captain Kirk would have been thrilled with a sexy all female crew...

DID YOU KNOW ???
There are a number of iconic masks in horror, but Michael Myer’s bleached-out visage is one of the most terrifying. The props department took a Captain Kirk mask, painted it white, cut new eyeholes, and changed the hair. In doing so, they created one of the most visually recognizable images in horror history.


Now you do.

Maybe they should have made Troi Greek (instead of Betazoid) who has psychic abilities

kpowers said:

You agree?

Not fully, I'd replace Soto and Dax, with LaForge & Nerys.

Wow, never knew that! Creepy indeed!

I think that Betazoid culture was patterned after a mix of Greek, Crete, and Roman culture. I don't know for sure, but that was always my take on it.

Yeah huge Halloween fan. They had a small budget so one of the prop guys just grab a captain kirk mask, cut the eyes, sprayed paint it white, and the rest is history.

Yeah you are probably right, Beta is a Greek word.

The original series used alot of Greek and Roman mythology

Yup, it's steeped in it--especially the episode in the pic right above (McCoy) in which a gigantic alien took on the personna of Apollo as a god and couldn't survive the inevitable disbelief of those who used to worship him. Great stuff. Still is.

Mine would be

Captain

First officer

Science officer

Communications

Doctor

Helmsmen and Navigator

Security

Ops

Transporter Chief

Engineering

For my first love, nobody will replace the original Star Trek crew. I'm so old that the original series was on when I was a little kid. I can still remember the first episode that grabbed me--"The Apple"--with the white haired aliens and the dinosaur headed "god" they worshipped that turned out to be a computerized program controlling their society. Man, they had some great social themes ahead of their time. I didn't know it then, of course--the white haired aliens and the dinosaur-type head captured my imagination.

Just had to put some cats here

I liked Tom and O'Brien also. Talk about growth in a character. There were quite a few like that.
