I’d buy that for a quatloo.
LOL
That “Thrall” went on to have a rather interesting film career.
I watched Faux Trek: Revenge of the Star Wars Groupies once... once. Bad parody. Imagine if Trek fans who loathed SW got to direct the next SW movie (then again, it would probably be better than the prequels).
The people behind the movie were SW fans who don’t like Star Trek?
Five Rules to Live By
1. Money cannot buy happiness, but it’s more comfortable to cry in a
Mercedes than on a bicycle.
2. Forgive your enemy, but remember the bastard’s name.
3. Help someone when he is in trouble and he will remember you when
he’s in trouble again.
4. Many people are alive only because it’s illegal to shoot them.
5. Reforming an Obama supporter is like trying to pick up a turd by
its clean end.
It was pretty obvious. And that scene in the bar where Faux (but hot) Uhura enters, it was a rip off of “Boogie Nights.” I mean, seriously, WTF ?!?
Number 1 has to be “Always take a run at the hot girl.”
And the last one needs to be rewriten “If things are dire, don’t hesitate to blow up the Enterprise.”
If I were on a ship and at risk of injury or death I’d want to be friends with the doctor too. Doctors are people and like most people will try harder to save someone they are friends with.
IIRC, "warp" drive consists of somehow attaching the ship to a (moving or generated) gravity wave. So the idea of pulling the ship along does, in fact, properly use the term "warp."
Anne Francis played Altaira. Leslie Nielsen played the captain. The effects were top rate for the time (1956). But the award that year went to The Ten Commandments.
I had not thought of it but that was part of why she was so alluring. and yes, sexy. Of course the fact that she was beautiful helped.
In just about all those old 1950s Sci-fi movies the professor has a beautiful daughter.
Don't sell the Marxist _resident short. His policies don't emanate from some gross Carteresque ineptitude. Rather, he is very effectively Cloward-and-Pivening our beloved Republic into the ashbin of history. Underestimate him at your own peril.
Apparently she had an interesting career beforehand, too.

Technically “safe for work” (no nudity), but interesting nonetheless.
Enforce or disregard the Prime Directive, whichever is more advantageous to your current situation.
Indeed! And I'd forgotten that she had that small part in Get Smart!.
IIRC, Ms. Pettyjohn made a bit of money at the sci-fi conventions selling photos of herself wearing a "diminished" version of that Drill Thrall outfit.
Had she lived, I'll bet she would've turned up in one of those "New Voyages" fan films. Quite a few of the TOS guest actors did.
