Plot points created to get women's clothing off.

Not necessarily. "Purposely planned" doesn't necessarily mean it's not still poorly written. If they do it on purpose, it's all the better.

There were plenty of cheesy way for women to get their clothes off in Farscape. It wasn't always a 'master of writing'.

Even so, those were purposefully planned just for joking around, not thrown in there for just "being there to get women's clothing off."
 
CB2001, I know they were goofing around ;)

Browder rationalizing how they could get her nekkid as a "plot point" instead of it just being gratuitous was IMO his riff on typical Hollywood conventions.

Not to mention an appreciation of Black's physique :lol
 
Mini-skirts on the Bridge and in every corridor.
Skirt chasing Captain.

No there's no sex in Star Trek.

MicDavis, I didn't say there wasn't any sex in Star Trek, I said there was BARELY any sexuality in the shows (barely does NOT equal none), so quit trying to put words in my mouth or put words in any other context than how I present it. I say what I mean in my previous statement.

And the sexuality in the original Star Trek alone was barely there. Those "mini-skirts" you pointed out was typical of the 1960s. In fact, you're actually wrong about the uniform, it's not a mini-skirt, it's a mini-dress, which had been a major fashion trend in the mid-1960s.

And how often does Kirk go chasing "skirt", BTW? Not all the time. I don't recall him chasing any skirts in Tomorrow is Yesterday. How about The Menagerie? Does anyone know if Kirk chased any skirt in that one? What about The Galileo Seven? Or The Trouble With Tribbles? If anything, Kirk doesn't chase skirt a whole lot, just once in a while, and more often than not, its through unfortunate circumstances that places him in that situation.

Even so, Farscape had more sexuality throughout the whole show's run than all the series of Star Trek put together. And probably, the second closest in science fiction being RIS Battlestar Galactica. Not to mention, for Farscape, it was primarily used for comedic purposes (sometimes they even used it for character development).

"Does this rag smell like chloroform?". Wait.......you mean movies. Never mind.
 
Excepting of course that is a TNG episode.

Sorry, I meant to say Tomorrow is Yesterday. I've correct that on the previous post.

But that one error doesn't diminish my point. There are more episodes where Kirk isn't chasing skirt than there are with him doing so.
 
Okay, for review:

Rule #1 - DON'T try to correct MicDavis on anything trek related. Just DON'T. You will not prevail.

Rule#2 - DON'T think you are the exception to Rule#1

Rule#3 - Yes, that means you too.

#1 - I did. And I don't give a flip-flyin' Charlie Brown if I prevail or not, I just want to make sure that if he's going to attempt to make an argument, that he has details correct. And the correction wasn't to Star Trek, is was to an article of clothing (which in this case, his mistaking a mini-dress for a mini-skirt).

#2 - I KNOW I'm not an exception to the rule. I never said I was. And if I'm going to get quoted, then I should be quoted in the context I meant, not what others think (hence the correction to MicDavis' insinuation that I said there wasn't any sexuality in Star Trek at all, when I clearly said there's barely any in all the shows).

#3 - Who says it didn't mean me too? I sure didn't.

Now, let's get back on topic, which is "Plot points created to get women's clothing off."

No there's no sex in Star Trek.

Even TNG had mini-skirts...

I had plenty of time for movies during winter break and decided to finally watch "Vampire Hunter D" for the first time because I've always heard what a classic it was. There's one part 3/4 in where a guy snatches at a crucifix around the girls neck, and he swipes so fast that her boob popped out. I nearly spat coffee at the screen from laughing!

I haven't read the whole thread but I say "Lifeforce". :thumbsup

It's almost the same way in The Space Vampires by Colin Wilson (in which the film Lifeforce is an adaption of), except without all of the "vampire zombies."
 
that he has details correct.

Anyone else see the irony in that.

Ease up buddy. You can be right if you want.

Sure you said barely. Okay we get it.

For some one who doesn't care whether he was right, you sure wrote a lot to make sure you were.

Not every flippant comment is a challenge for an argument.

I'm sorry if I came off at all argumentative. It's not my intention, I assure you. I really don't care if I'm right, but I tend to write a lot as a means of showing how I see things. When someone turns my words around when I clearly mean what I say, it does grind my gears a bit and as I result I end up trying to clarify myself even more. Again, MicDavis, I apologize to you and anyone else whom I may offended.
 
Haha " You're not married, you have no girlfriend and you haven't seen Star Trek?"


The one I remember except for enterprise is the Ugly Betty episode with Salma Hayek in the Elevator though it is clearly making fun of the whole thing.
