Keith, I saw it twice and, in perfect honesty, I never noticed these "assets" she and others speak of.

Re: [scifinoir2] SGU Actress Blogs about Adult Themes on Show
Well, it's not exactly unknown in the annals of scifi TV: Uhura, Troi, Seven, T'Pol, Number Six (never did see the attraction there), etc., etc. I did notice that Benson's character is always in clingy shirts, which I assume are part of the uniform for her rank. But I have also noticed the camera lingers in certain places at times. - Original Message - From: "Martin Baxter" To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, April 7, 2010 5:49:45 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] SGU Actress Blogs about Adult Themes on Show Mr Worf, I did know a ouple of guys when I was at Virginia State who only watched shows for the T*t Appreciation Factor.

Re: [scifinoir2] SGU Actress Blogs about Adult Themes on Show
The last two trek shows played up the sexual aspect. The holodeck action and the ladies in the clingy outfits was pushing the eye candy factor. (Dax should have been on that list too.) I think that someone in management is thinking that if they make sex symbols out of the characters that they will increase their ratings with numbers from the puberty set. That's why Dollhouse poured it on.

Re: [scifinoir2] SGU Actress Blogs about Adult Themes on Show
The last two shows took it over the top, no doubt. Seven's tight outfits and high-heeled shoes, T'Pol's tight outfits, and the ridiculous decom rubdowns after away missions on "Enterprise" were indeed juvenile. Curiously, the show with the least number of obvious eye-candy women was "DS9". Dax was pretty, no doubt, but she wasn't put in clingy, revealing outfits, and wasn't portrayed as a sex object. Indeed, her attraction was her sense of humour, her adventurous spirit, and her intelligence. The Dabo girl who married Rom was probably the closest they had on that show. - Original Message - From: "Mr. Worf" To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, April 7, 2010 7:41:39 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] SGU Actress Blogs about Adult Themes on Show The last two trek shows played up the sexual aspect.

Re: [scifinoir2] SGU Actress Blogs about Adult Themes on Show
If I remember correctly they did an old school method with Dax. They had her do a girl/girl kiss as well as scenes where she was nude but the audience couldn't see. Another thing that was "big" on DS9 was the Klingon women and their cleavage. On Wed, Apr 7, 2010 at 5:44 PM, Keith Johnson wrote: > > > The last two shows took it over the top, no doubt.
