Yeah from Both Drone to Socially Awkward Catsuit Lady seemed silly. Especially in a show with powerful women (e.g. as captain and as chief engineer).
Comment on I totally forgot this was an actual shot in a TNG episode.

Seven was a well-written character, but the wardrobe choices still infuriated me. That is probably one thing PIC got right.

Not as bad as Jolene Blalock.

I haven’t watched ENT yet, but I indeed have heard things about T’Pol.

There were a lot of scenes where characters, generally including T’Pol, would get “decontaminated” which meant rubbing each other down in their underwear.

Don’t forget that Connor Trinneer had to spend one entire episode in their underwear.

There’s only one episode where they stretch the scene for an uncomfortable length of time and have her and Trip really rub each other (as far as I remember).

I don’t know, would you rather spend 4 entire years in bone tight fetish outfits too tight to sit down in and 4 inch heels, or 4 years in a relatively sensible jumpsuit or a jacket/pants ensemble but you have to peel to your undies and share a bottle of baby oil with a male castmate for 3 minutes?

Dude, T’Pol’s uniform was also a skintight catsuit. It’s like all the downsides of 7 plus the glitter oil.

This is the outfit in question, which strikes me as more modest than any of Troi’s various jumpsuits. The neckline is less open, the material is more substantial, and it doesn’t really seem to fit much tighter than average women’s clothing. I don’t believe this outfit has a built-in corset the way Seven’s catsuits did. I’m speaking as a man, here: If you gave me the choice between Seven’s or T’Pol’s costume, I’d choose T’Pol’s. I’d look hilariously stupid in both but I think T’Pols suit would hurt less.

At least Blalock didn’t faint because her costume prevented her from breathing
