Couldn't help myself. Please forgive me.
Technically true, but you don't have to say it...
Yeah, she is not mentally well unfortunately. Or at least wasn't at the time. I hope she's doing better these days.
I'm not going to give her shit for it. Margot Kidder got into similar issues because of her bipolar disorder.

Poor Ensign McEnsign.
Mmm, cheesecakes ...
I watched the show when it originally aired on UPN, and I have to admit, I thought that’s all she was for. It was UPN, after all, and that network wasn’t afraid to be sleazy if it boosted ratings.
I was very happy to be proven wrong. She turned out to be a genuinely interesting character who enabled some great stories.
Oh they totally did hire her as eyecandy. They just also happened to write her character really well so they got to eat their cake too. She didn't even want to do it, but, IIRC, Obama convinced her to do it just because it's Star Trek and would be great for her career.
To be fair- Berman hired her as eye candy. Jeri Taylor and Michael Piller then figured out something interesting to do with her.
Great move. I’m glad they exploited the character’s potential instead of just her bod.
… Obama convinced her to do it…
Is this the funniest spellcheck error I’ve ever seen, or is there something I’m missing?
I actually misremembered the story and had it all backwards. Obama isn't responsible for her being on the show; her being on the show could partly be responsible for him getting elected.
She got the job and had to move to Hollywood. Her husband wouldn't go with her. They divorced. Her husband became Obama's campaign manager or something. Obama became president.
One of my favorite bits of trivia.
Posh Bones got me good. :D

Nice! I love them too.
Nice. But I miss the music...
I don't get the Robert Beltran one. Can anyone clarify?

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.
