TNG - Marina Sirtis talks about the costume design

[rickgriffin]

This covers multiple episodes, but I thought this was interesting to share

They really should have let Sirtis write some of Troi's dialog, IMHO

I coincidentally saw this the other day too. It is a good and kind of sad insight into the production.

I feel like Troi is a real missed opportunity. Maybe she was too nice? Maybe they needed more women writers on staff? Had to be the guy who points to sexism and sighs, but when you look at the cloths and recall all of Gene's bullshit...

I still remember Drunk!Troi from First Contact. If only we could've had more of that, she was clearly enjoying herself.

It's hard to go back to Deanna Troi after binging through Gargoyles. Marina voiced such an incredible villain with such gusto and range.

I almost wish TNG ran past Gargoyles run so Marina could incorporate some of Demona's lines into her performance as Troi

Television used to be a second class format. TNG got away with that doing it for entire seasons.

Her and Frakes in the commentary track for Insurrection practically redeem that film for me. I think I've watched it more times with the commentary than without.

"Female women".

Yea that was indeed... accurate. And yea I could just imagine the cast just feeling absolutely miserable in season 1 in those awful jumpsuits.

Demona was one of the best villains in Gargoyles because the staff on that show let her actually act, instead of making her fanservice and exposition.

Especially gripping was the episode where past Demona and future Demona are fighting with each other.

I hate to be ''that guy'' but wasn't she hired to be the T'Pol or Seven of Nine of this series? Boobs in a catsuit with an excuse characterization for being there. And a lot of her roles before Star Trek were of the same mold. I kind of suspect she knew what she was getting into, and if she didn't, she surely soon did.
