I loved Tasha but Denise could hardly act.

I just watched the 'afterschool "the more you know" special about drugs aka: Symbiosis...

and even before the dreaded 'are you sure you want me to say no"? you make it sound so cool!' speech from Tasha we see Denise in even more dreaded action.

so the two guys who want the drugs are electricity slapping the hell out of each other in cargo bay like 2200 and here we go.

Tasha: stop this NOW! and of course nothing -- the twits keep on zapping.
Will calls for security and they come running.

then it comes: [sultry] behave yourselves......... gentlemen........

what the holy fvk was that? would she like a wet nap after that?

Oh God. Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once more.

I've been re-watching (and in some cases watching for the first time) every episode during the last couple of weeks. I'm on episode three of season two now.
Anyway, I remember that scene vaguely.
And you're right. Denise could be painful.
The only redeeming thing about the second episode of season one was seeing that she could be super-sexy.
Who could blame Data for going ball bearings deep on her?
It's too bad she aged like sh--.
^ I know that she isn't going to read this, so I wrote it. I wouldn't be cruel enough to say it to her directly... but definitely not a GILF.

[–] M_Exchange 7 years ago

Personally, I'm mildly upset that no one emoticoned an lmao on my "ball bearings deep" comment about Data.... It was brilliant, BRILLIANT, I SAY.
As for Denise's Playboy thing, haaaaale yeah.
Denise of yesteryear and Denise of today reminds me of why I'll never marry: you never know what they'll look like even a decade down the road.
I wish that I could go back and marry Raquel Welch in the '60s. She looks as hot as 🔆 even today at 75.

EDIT: "go back" makes it look like I was alive in the '60s or something... I mean... just take her with me in a time machine or something

Wow, shallow much?
I married my husband and he gain 40 lbs!
I guess I'm not as shallow as you, I am an adult, because I did not love him any less.
Good thing if you don't get married, there is no telling how bad you'll look in a decade.

I do believe she is carrying illegal contraband on those pictures CJ,Tribbles are not allowed by Starfleet. 

[–] cjh8504 7 years ago

That was the way it was back then, Nexy, unfortunately.

That's the same Tribble that now resides on Trump's head.😀

[–] cjh8504 7 years ago

Sexy. I could do without the pubes, but sexy, regardless.

For Data's sake I hope she did shave around that time,chances are Data would have fired a phaser at it. 

Nah, he knows human anatomy. Intricately. Boy, the deaths in 2016 are ridiculous, aren't they, Nexy?

RIP Gene Wilder. One of the funniest people of all time. RIP Robert Vaughn

[–] Nexus71 7 years ago

Yes it does CJ makes you wonder who will be next ,I added the Queen of England to the who's next list,because she didn't do her Christmas speech in over 28 years this year so these tiny little signals can be indicative this year,but the onslaught among the celebrity community this year is gruesome to say the least and many greats and many too soon.

[–] cjh8504 7 years ago

Debbie Reynolds is next, it looks.

RIP Gene Wilder. RIP Robert Vaughn. RIP Carrie Fisher. 2016 is the worst!

Seems you are right that is so sad first the daughter than the mother a great loss to cinema and the "golden age" of Hollywood.

I predicted that one. I'm liked a soothsayer over here.

When you're Bing Crosby's granddaughter and have a killer body, you don't need to learn how to act.

[–] cjh8504 7 years ago

Too bad she doesn't have that body any longer. She still got the Binger thing, though.

I never liked her in that role myself.

End of line

[–] revengine 7 years ago

then it comes: [sultry] behave yourselves......... gentlemen........

I guess it goes to show that people interpret things differently. I always thought they way Denise delivered that line was pretty good - restrained composure with a bit of sarcasm (i.e. calling the two fighting characters "Gentlemen" when their behaviour suggests the exact opposite). It said to me "Knock it off or I'll up the setting on my phaser ... and point it a little lower." I didn't read it as sultry at all.

[–] cjh8504 7 years ago

Wasn't that bad of a line reading, agreed.

RIP Gene Wilder. RIP Robert Vaughn. RIP Carrie Fisher. 2016 is the worst!

[–] deem_bastille 7 years ago

I didn't read it as sultry at all.

sigh.

watch until 13:52. she was practically drooling.

her initial: stop this. NOW! was fiercer than what she said with the gentlemen, although it doesn't really work. heck, they were zapping eachother for the longest time when either riker or Tasha said anything.

Oh God. Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once more.

[–] M_Exchange 7 years ago

I've continued my run of watching all of the series. I'm on Yesterday's Enterprise, which I've seen twice already.
Anyway, out of the gate she returns with horrible acting.

"It's the USS......  Enterprise."

Uuuuuugh... stfu.

[–] deem_bastille 7 years ago

I know!!!

the WTH???reaction I get but did she have to drool?

Oh God. Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once more.

[–] cjh8504 7 years ago

Good thing she looks good nude.

RIP Gene Wilder. RIP Robert Vaughn. RIP Carrie Fisher. RIP William Christopher. 2016 is the worst!

[–] M_Exchange 7 years ago

*looked
Seriously, I invite everyone to watch that opening scene with her.
Watch the melodramatic head cock (ironically, a phrase that also describes how she got the job) right before she says, "Enterprise."
Beyond laughable.

[–] Cloudburst2000 7 years ago

I was soooo happy when she got killed by the black goo. Seemed a fitting ending for her. Worst, stupidest death ever on the show goes to the worst actor/actress on the show.

[–] cjh8504 7 years ago

Agreed. And looked indeed, previous poster.

RIP Gene Wilder. RIP Robert Vaughn. RIP Carrie Fisher. RIP William Christopher. 2016 is the worst!

[–] Nexus71 7 years ago

Hardly act is a euphemism she was one of the worst actors,she still must be glad doing the show after all because regularly appearing on conventions has been able to provide for a nice bit of extra cash besides her monthly allowance

[–] deem_bastille 7 years ago

the acting Crosby did later on has improved. I saw a couple of movies with her recently, she does play the psychotic victim very well -- believable.

The Watcher

don't wake mommy [Wikipedia wrote it as Mummy]

of, course she has been in countless tv shows guest starring and other things but I saw these recently and was impressed, especially the Watcher.

Oh God. Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once more.

[–] cjh8504 7 years ago

Has she ever had along hair?

RIP Gene Wilder. RIP Robert Vaughn. RIP Carrie Fisher. RIP William Christopher. 2016 is the worst!

[–] deem_bastille 7 years ago

I don't know. I think the longest she has had is this

you can hardly tell it is her.

and there is her in walking dead but you again can't tell it is her.

I just thank god she looks better than those pasty pictures of her. god. she looked so sick.

Oh God. Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once more.

[–] cjh8504 7 years ago

She looks better with longer hair, I think.

RIP Gene Wilder. RIP Robert Vaughn. RIP Carrie Fisher. RIP William Christopher. 2016 is the worst!

[–] Nexus71 7 years ago

Yes in her pants. When I wonder what happens after Data says that he is fully functional Imagine Yar drops her pants/skirt and scares the sh!t out of Data and reacts in accordance what he has been taught at Starfleet Academy about "the bad bush" and fires his phaser upon it. 

[–] fiero-49251 7 years ago

"...and scares the sh!t out of Data and reacts in accordance what he has been taught at Starfleet Academy..."
