There was an uncredited girl in TNGs show about that metamorph (yes, I agree she was a pretty little girl) who was awesome looking. The severe looking watcher/keeper/chaparone was, for about 17 seconds, in their stateroom, right before Worf comes in (I think), this ultra cute little blonde. She was giggling and all girlie like. You hardly got a chance to see her before she was El Uggo again, and then a big ol’ monster! Yikes! But… WHO WAS THAT BLONDE? **Was it Goo?** ---

I can’t believe no-one has mentioned Marlena Moreau (TOS Mirror Mirror - BarBara Luna). Two others from the original series - Eve McHuron (Mudd’s Women - Karen Steele - “I’ve never met a paragon of virtue” is one of my favorite lines) and Edith Keeler from City on the Edge of Forever. ---

Leslie Parrish was also Jocelyn Jordan in _The Manchurian Candidate_. I’d almost be willing to be snakebit if she would apply “the treatment”. And I’ll have to go along with a bunch of the moderns: Vash Leah Brahms Ensign Ro Jadzia Dax Ishara Yar Kamala Salia K’lahr ---

Well, sure, for one shots, there were some real hot babes. The platinum blonde warrior babe in silver lame fomr the “Gamesters of triskelion” or whatever the episode was called come to mind. But episode after episode, as cast regulars- we have only T’Pol & Seven as “hot babes”. As opposed to “good looking women” or “cute chicks”. Hoshi is cute, and maybe the girl you’d want to marry- but NOT a 'hot babe". Same thing for Tasha & Uhura. Maybe Yeoman Rand might qualify as a “hot babe”. Troi is a maybe- but more along the lines of “good looking woman”. But Dr Crusher? Oedipus might think so… 😃 ---

Another from the female persective: 1. Worf–head ridges above anyone else. 2. McCoy–attitude, good looks, killer accent. 3. Sisko–especially after he shaved his head. Mmmm. Hawk [non-Trek Spenser reference]. ---

I had a Cockney friend who I thought had an Oedipus complex. Turns out he just didn’t like cats. ---

I’m surprised no one’s mentioned **Ensign Tsu** from the first season _ST:TNG_ episode “The Arsenal of Freedom”. When that episode first aired, they had to place drool mats all over rec.arts.startrek. ---
