Interesting, I never noticed that Vina's Orion Slave Girl ("green girls" for any non-Trekkies reading) had such long, pointed nails until these new photos. I don't think they kept that trait with later slave girls (Yvonne Craig seemed to have it a bit in "Whom Gods Destroy" but not to the extent Susan Oliver did when she played Vina) Kinda wish they kept that.

Galia in Star Trek '09 was pretty "tame" compared to past slave girls but she was a cadet at Starfleet Academy so that was unusual for an Orion to begin with. The ones in Star Trek Enterprise actually appeared to be more sultry than the ones in TOS:

But the ones that seemed the most "off" to me where the male Orions in Star Trek: The Animated Series. WTH? They didn't even give them green skin. They have the skin tone of Andorians:

IIRC, Orions were supposed to be of at least 3 different subracial groups (green was one, silver was another and I can’t remember the third, red ?). There was a lot of info on that in the books going back to the ‘70s. My big problem with there being an Green Orion Slave girl in “Faux” Trek as a cadet is that Orions were not even members of the Federation (and indeed, Orions were hostile), and she simply shouldn’t have been there. It’d be like a North Korean attending West Point. Of course, that’s what you get when you allow a hardcore Star Wars fan to do a Trek film (and blowing up Vulcan like it was Alderaan).
