"Nothing, Nothing lies beneath. I'm really quite dull. I fall asleep each night with an old book in my hands."
"When a metamorph finds you interesting, do not take it lightly."
"Oh, I'm not taking it lightly, I'm just trying... to be as dull as possible."
The story goes Kamala has been prepared since birth to bond with Alrik, the ruthless ruler of Valt Minor. The hope is her "bonding" will bring peace between two wartorn worlds. Its such a shame really because Kamala has such a beautiful spirit and personality. Famke Janssen is so convincing and expressive in her role as Kamala. As an empath she could sense what any dude wanted and become exactly that. So after the Ferengi incident in the cargo bay interupting her cryosleep and knocking the ancient Kriosian Ambassador senseless, Picard has to step in and spend a lot of time with Kamala. Lucky devil!
You might well ask how Captain Picard resisted Kamala's advances! Curiously Janssens spotty character makeup inspired the look of Jadzia Dax in Star Trek Deep Space Nine. Famke was actually offered the role but turned it down to concentrate on her movie career instead. She appeared in a variety of films including sexy villainess Xenia Onatopp and three turns in the X-men franchise once again opposite Patrick Stewart.
Live Long and Prosper Trekkers.

SHE was Famke?? What a gorgeous woman! I mean, she was fine in X Men, but in Star Trek? She was amazing.
I remember that episode well, but I didn't realize that was Famke! Picard was a lucky devil indeed.
Famke always amazes me. One reason to take the I Spy movie seriously (and not because she's sexy as heck on the home video cover).
That was always one of my favorite episodes as well as the one with the Ressican Flute....the inner light. The best!
I didn't remember that it was her, either. my favorite part was when she growled at Worf.
Jensen is a stunning actress, but I never made the connection before. Good to see her and Stewart reunited for X-Men.
