Always thinking of the outtake where she's talking to a Starbase and a guy off-camera does a fake feminine voice in response to her line and her eyes just light up and she says "Hey, suger." in the most genuinely sultry voice I've ever heard her use.
In most other circumstances, I think it would have been sort of creepy, but I went to a Star Trek convention as a kid just after Star Trek V came out and she was the guest and some fan came up to the mic during questions time and said, "I don't have a question, I just saw Star Trek V and I wanted to tell you that you still have the best legs in the galaxy."
Like I said, creepy in many instances, but she was 57 when he said it and she spent years as a dancer (she's one of the main dancers in the film of Porgy and Bess), so she definitely appreciated the compliment. It got a massive cheer too, and not just from the men.
Oh interesting, I took neither to mean not fair because she doesn't fight fair and not maiden because she doesn't want to be treated that way by him. I actually didn't know maiden was tied to sex at all 🤔
Nah. You could always at least reference fucking as long as you didn't use the word "fucking." Now if she had insinuated that she farted, that would have been immediately barred. Farts couldn't even be referenced.
One of the most brilliant lines from TOS, I bet they all had a chuckle when it aired. Nichols should be in history books alongside Rosa Parks, aside from ‘the kiss’ her work with NASA was awesome.
