UGH. Faux Trek.

The problem with NG was now the character were written,
All the Federation was a bunch of whitebread bloodless socialist weenies....
Funny how the lib writer of NG saw the future ...
so many of NG space races were a repacking of old simple minded cardboard cutout racist stereotypes,
The Ferengis: Space Jews/Capitalist as writer by a NAZI/Commie propagandist,
The Kingons: A lib writer idea of "people of color",
The Kingons were allowed to have blood in there veins and passion but "violent and scarry"
(At least to a Lib, I thought the Kingons were the only ones worth a shit in NG )...
Notice how they would mostly cast black actor as Kingons
But whats his face, the actor that played Crusher The wonder-puss-boy is really ok on Big Bang theory and other stuff ive seen him
What to you mean the condoms aren't free?
Worthy of mention is Star Trek The Animated Series (19731974). While the animation was marginal, they used serious plot lines that can be argued are good enough to be considered canon.
According to "Star Trek, Enterprise," the "slave girls" emitted pheromones that "enslaved" the males, and the males actually became the slaves.

I am old school Star Trek fan, hence my FReeper handle. Live long and prosper.
This is a GREAT thread!
TOS is my favorite, but I also (heresy) enjoyed the last few seasons of DS9. I think that having to compete with B5 made them up their game.
TOS had the best musical score by far, something not usually commented on.
I was in my 20s and married when the original series came on. It was one of my favorite shows. Maybe a year ago, I used a Netflix gift subscription to order dvds of those old shows.
There were some very good episodes, in fact some of them were near great. There were also a few boring ones.
On some of the dvd’s they had comments from the various people involved with the show. I recall one with the prop manager. They had an extremely low budget. He said their favorite place to get props was the Paramount trash bins.

Mt older brother used to refer to Counselor Deanna Troi as “The Space Slut” LOL. Funny how what’s old is new again ;-)
Ive never seen an onion girlIf you watched Lost In Space, you would have seen a "carrot man"
Carrot Man
That's Stanley Adams in the carrot costume. He also played "Cyrano Jones" in the Star Trek episode "The Trouble With Tribbles".
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).
