And it's with some regret I see a few brief glimpses of the beautiful <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persis_Khambatta">Persis Khambatta</a> who died tragically at only 47. Her transformation into the avator of V***ger somehow justified the wearing of a very short dress, recalling the costumes of the original ST series. I wonder if her career was blighted more by her unwillingness to appear nude than her so-called lack of acting ability.<br /><br />The women of Star Trek had rather more significant roles than those in other programs aimed at young males, like say Daisy in the Dukes of Hazzard. But we had to wait until the Voyager series before a woman had one of the lead roles on the deck of a starship. This was an important milestone because ST from the outset sought to portray an ideal future of peace and equality between earth races; it is only fitting that it should also be one of the first TV shows to also portray a woman leading an enterprise, rather more convincingly than Geena Davis in the more recent Commander in Chief.<br /><br />I admire Roddenberry for his vision that assumed we had solved all problems here on Earth, and so the next step was "out there". But it is perhaps telling that the most emotive moment in Apollo 13 (recently screened on public TV in Ireland) is when Jim Lovell (played by Tom Hanks) looks out the porthole towards Earth, and it seems far more important to return to it than to try to land on the moon. We have so much to do here to achieve a lasting state of peace, environmentalism, third world development and inter-cultural tolerance.Colm Smythhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10297748176831639589noreply@blogger.com
