h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

"Well, I admiit to liking Lwaxanna Troi."

Those are brave words my friend

I rather had the hots for Tasha Yar Couldn't believe it when they bumped her off Curiously though, I never felt any attraction towards Deanna Troi, who one supposes was meant to be the babe of the bridge, what with all that hair and them form-hugging lycra suits and the push-up bras. She was just some bint from Finsbury bleedin' Park who made good as far as I was concerned And all that 'I sense great pain and anger' cobblers was just too bloody West Coast new age 1980s touchy-feely

The Troi line we always found laughable was "I feel something, but I don't know what it is."

You can imagine what WE thought it must be.

I did love Tasha's attitude and short haircut, but I always thought that Doc Crusher was the most attractive female regular. They didn't seem to concentrate much on 'babes' the way TOS did.

And, when they did, they often looked mighty alien: e.g. The alien that seduced Riker and gave him 'the game' device, and the alien who played the 'devil woman' versus Picard's "The Devil and Daniel Webster".

But what was with Riker's fascination with the 'androgenous woman' on the planet with no gender?? And Vos? What made them think she was attractive?

Troi often used to irritate me. When faced with a bloody great battleship that had just armed torpedoes, out she'd come with 'I'm sensing great agression'. Well, thatnks for that. I'm sure we'd really be stuck without you.

Maybe he had a secret liking for lady-boys?

You never know... maybe one of the more obscure Star Fleet regulations was "make sure they really are agressive and not just a bunch of Scallies having a laugh."

surly the even more prime directive, shoot scallies on site before they nick your comms gear

"Awright pal, I'll carry yeh tri-corder if you gizz a bit of gold-pressed latinum."

"maybe one of the more obscure Star Fleet regulations was "make sure they really are agressive and not just a bunch of Scallies having a laugh""

Or perhaps they were just afraid of being sued up the wazoo by a bunch of litigious aliens for wrongful phasering

I almost forgot Ro. Once she became a regular, the scenery got a bit better again.

Loving those bumpy noses, are we?

Yeah, I kinda preferred Kira to Dax, too. Maybe I just prefer short hair?

which dax ?

Oooh, yeah! I liked the one with the short hair, too. The one that married Worf (Jad-zee-ah, phonetically?) was very attractive, no doubt; but personally preferred the others.

Ezri definitely had something which Jadzia didn't (although they're both pretty attractive).

Jadzia for a night, Ezri for the long term ?

How about a bit of time travel and having both at the same time...

Now, the next step is to establish if we can lower the tone even further.

Does this discussion mean that there are no suggestions for improving this entry?

Probably.

yep, waiting for the DS9 pr thread to really get this conversation going though

About that, it may be some time. I'm only half-way through, I'm still on the recurring character list, and it's longer than this entry in total.

Things should get really interesting when the Voyager thread starts!
