poll: star trek women?

Happy birthday, Parki!

Looks like Scott, Amanda, Zoë and Beckett have all caught colds. :-( Hopefully the plague won't spread much further.

Allison and Jodi are both back home. Allison's pretty much over hers. I spent much of yesterday sleeping but then got so bored of just staying at home that I went out and rented five DVDs: A.I., Kate & Leopold, From Hell, Ghost World, Dragonfly.

My mini-reviews:

A.I.: I didn't dislike it as much as when I first saw the movie, but only because I can skip vast chunks of the movie at a time. Jude Law is my fave.

Kate & Leopold: I'm a sucker for unrealistic sappy romances with Hugh Jackman, so sue me. My main beef: surely they could have done SOMETHING original with the usual time travel romance plot.

From Hell: Haven't seen this yet, probably later today.

Ghost World: Liked it except for the ending, which I hated.

Dragonfly: Thought this was semi-okay despite Kevin Costner's presence. Big gaping questions in the plot were distracting, though.

Poll: women of classic Star Trek

Browse this gallery (thanks to Cory of BoingBoing for this link); which of these was YOUR favourite? I only wish each of these photos was linked to the specific episode info.

My personal favourites:

Edith Keeler, who was in my favourite Classic Trek episode, "City of the Edge of Forever".

The Romulan Commander, who deserved to win.

Vina and Marta, because they were green.

Nurse Chapel, because I had a thing for Spock, too. And Number One, who only got to be a strong female senior officer in one pilot episode.
