I totally forgot this was an actual shot in a TNG episode.

I did a Google image search. Silly me.
ummthatguy@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The site doesn’t have every frame, but most moments that one might want to use. Bare in mind, since there’s no HD transfer of DS9 or VOY, you’re just as well off on image search.

Ha ha, I just remembered that I go to that website for LCARS sound clips to customize stuff in my phone.

Sorry, for the quality. It was the only screenshot I’ve found. In this shot from “Man of the People”, you can clearly see the dress/nightgown Marina Sirtis is wearing is highlighting her nipples.
FYI, Sirtis has stated in interview(s?) that she was aware that she was the sex symbol for the show.

Poor woman I remember in one interview she mentioned the outfit they gave her (up until Jellico) was so fitted that she couldn’t gain a single pound.

I feel like what they did with Jerri Ryan was worse. At least for Deanna, it was in character.
Seven was a well-written character, but the wardrobe choices still infuriated me. That is probably one thing PIC got right.

Once again: Jellico was the hero the Enterprise needed, not the one it wanted.

She was in several Cannon company sexplotation films in her early career. She has thanked the show for getting her out of that explicitly abusive part of the industry.

They made her wear a unique low-cut purple spandex suit for the first half of the series.

In the first season she was the only member of the main cast who wore the minidress variant of the uniform. Like they tried to bring forward the gogo dresses that Uhura, Rand and Chapel wore in TOS, and in an attempt by a Silent Generation geezer to be progressive and/or justify Marina Sirtis having her legs out, they had a few male extras wear the minidress uniform in the background as well.
Second to ~5th season she wore a collection of spandex jumpsuits, ranging from lilac to maroon but I also remember a green one that had kind of a flowy skirt to it. Then they used the whole THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS episode as an excuse to have her wear a uniform. Sirtis was pushing for Troi to wear a standard Starfleet uniform, and having Captain Jellico awkwardly order her to was how they solved the problem in-universe.
I personally would have either written her as a civilian contractor, putting her in the same community as Keiko, Guinan or Mott, OR I would have put her in a uniform with a coat like Dr. Crusher since Troi was the ship’s psychologist, we don’t really see this but she should report to Crusher the way Barkley reports to LaForge.

I’ll be honest, I never saw the appeal. I enjoyed her character interactions, but she was not my thing.

Right? Like not green skinned enough.
Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I wonder if any actresses were ever unaware of that role when they played it?

seems like one of those “won’t be visible on a consumer tv” things

At least not in 1992.

How could you forget?! Wardrobe stuck Troi into just a handful of memorably revealing outfits over those seven years.

Sometimes I think the future is bleak and nothing good with happen again. Then star trek shows me that there is hope, for… Humanity or something, yeah.

All the straws were the same length so they declared all are the rightful winners.
They went to worth right after the (studio mandated) cocaine break.
