Was Minuet the Most Attractive Guest Actress on the Show?

[tomalak301]

I've been marathoning Season 1 this week and got up to my favorite episode of the season tonight, 11001001. I got to say, I loved Minuet. She was so unique, had a great personality, and who wouldn't want to fantasize about her? I know we had Femke Jennesen as Kamala, and Darren in Lessons, but I think Minuet beats them all. I actually felt so bad for the actress who had to take her place at the end because Riker did such a great job rejecting her. If she wasn't a holodeck character, I wouldn't be surprised if she would get a bit heart broken.

Would it be appropriate to say that Minuet was Helen Noel of TNG, that one off character that was so memorable no one else would compare?

 

[Kelthaz]

Not even close. She was average at best.

 

[Mojochi]

Her? Not really

In my opinion, the top 3 most beautiful guest actresses on TNG were

#3 Ashley Judd

#2 Famke Janssen

#1 Olivia d'Abo

^ The sad truth is that none of those costumes look very flattering on those actresses.

In those caps Minuet looks much better than Ensign Ashley Judd, Jean Grey and AmandaQ combined.

 

[Tiberius]

The dancer on the holodeck from Cost of Living.

K'Helyr. Minuet never did it for me.

I thought she was attractive but not overwhelmingly so, but the actress and character had a really great personality..I saw the actress giggle on bloopers from the episode and she seemed to have a nice sense of humor.

Mojochi, that is solely your opinion.

I find Famke to be much more attractive than Olivia.

I think we're forgetting Jennifer Hetrick, Teri Hatcher, Madchen Amick..although some of the other shows had women that were more my "type".

I was always more charmed by Miriam:

She was delightful in Something Is Out There.

My personal favorite from TNG would be Beth Toussaint.

Not even close.

Jennifer Hetrick as Vash was much more attractive to me, both physically (esp. in terms of facial features compared to Minuet) and as an engaging character. Famke Janssen probably second.

...Teri Hatcher, Madchen Amick...

OK, I know where Teri Hatcher is in TNG, but what ep does Madchen Amick appear in (yeah, I'm too lazy to imdb, sue me)?

 

[Satyrquaze]

Madchen Amick played Anya in "The Dauphin".

Not as lazy...

Well, Carolyn McCormick is attractive, but Michelle Forbes and Jennifer Hetrick are my favourites.

While Minuet's costume was designed by the great William Ware Theiss, it's obviously not as titillating as some of his more risky designs. But it's a period costume, so I can forgive him.

However, the other three were designed by Robert "catsuit" Blackman, who didn't have a scintillating aesthetic like Theiss. His designed were bland, even in the male costumes.

It could be argued that Blackman, at least, designed Starfleet uniforms well; however, his designs were mostly riffs of Theiss designs. And like a VHS or Beta copy of a copy, it wasn't as clear or sharp as the original.

His third season-and-on uniforms for TNG merely took Thesis great design, broke it into a two-piece for the males and then destroyed the slick silhouette by adding a spandex belt to the bottom, which made the rest of the uniform top poofy.

The original DS9 (and VOY) uniforms were a good "workman's" uniform, but still not very interesting to look at. Same with his FC uniform designs (more like a Puma track suit really). The ENT uniforms, however, were the most practical uniform design, but still cast in bland colors.

Blackman designed uniforms adequately, but they weren't as interesting or "futuristic" as Weiss's designs.

Don't feel bad, she was only Anya for about 20 seconds. A cutie none the less.

Yes, I think I earned one...

 

[Too Much Fun]

My favourite was Jaime Hubbard from "The Dauphin".

After that I'd pick Ashley Judd as the best-looking. I agree that Famke and Jennifer Hetrick were smokin' and Olivia was adorable.

 

[tomalak301]

Ok, I'll give you Vash (Forgot about her actually), but I didn't really like Femke's Make Up in Perfect Mate. She looks so much better in the X-Men movies. As for the girl in The Dauphin, I thought she was a bit on the ugly side actually.

Here you go, guys.

Damn, I really need to find more time to post!
