i never thought i'd see you naked : Star Trek's Marina Sirtis

Tonight was the season premiere of Enterprise. That’s hardly a noteworthy event, since I’m no Star Trek dweeb. I didn’t particularly even like the first season of the venerable series’ reimagining. It’s just that I didn’t have much else to do tonight, especially considering that I was feeling so tired (not to mention a little bit sick) that I couldn’t move off the couch. Literally couldn’t move from the couch.

And for once my utter laziness paid off.

Maybe it’s just me, and I’m feeling a little sexed up right now, but wasn’t tonight one of the sexiest episodes of any Star Trek series, ever? First there was the dispassionate Vulcan and butch-looking (but still uber hot) Subcommander T'Pol (Jolene Blalock) rolling around on her bed and showing so much stomach I wanted to go wash some laundry.

Then the mousy but cute Ensign Hoshi Sato (Linda Park), showing plenty of stomach herself (not to mention that little bit of skin on the small of the back, right above the ass, that I just love), but also squirming around in the Jeffries tubes topless (entendre much?). Regrettably I didn’t get any screen captures of that, but maybe you have some and will send them to me? Yeah you will.

All those young nubile bodies prancing around the depths of space got me thinking about the future. Forget an end to world hunger, violence and racism. Forget the constant adventure of space travel. Forget the extension of Americanized cultural imperialism throughout the known universe. The future Star Trek describes is a wonderful place, if only for the abundance of hot chicks in the military.

Today’s military is hardly known for its super-hotties. That’s why the pages of Playboy are filled with pictures of strippers (and once in a while the girls of the Ivy league), but almost never second lieutenants in the third infantry. Most martial women are so dowdy and/or mannish that most seamen wouldn’t touch them with a ten-centimeter pole.

But, if the trend continues, and Uhura, Seven of Nine, and Counselor Troi are the ugly chicks of the future (that their military service predicates), imagine what the hot chicks look like? If that is what the future holds, well, freeze my head and call me horny.

Oh, I almost left without the nudity, which is all you really care about anyway. So, here you go - if you thought Troi’s season one mini-skirt was revealing, take a gander at these topless pictures. You don’t have to be a mind reader to notice - those are boobs! I’m going to bed now.
