Hey All.
Thanks for everyone’s great comments. You’ll be happy to know that Nichelle is indeed unbelievably talented and gorgeous but not just that; she’s so utterly fantastic to work with and is one of the most gracious people I’ve ever met. And by the way – we’re also working on some interactive elements that will allow you to dance with Nichelle and the entire cast!

We have lots more Star Trek people coming but regardless we just hope you enjoy the show for what it is; a silly, fun time for all.

Thanks for your interest – can’t wait to see what you think when we premiere later this year!!

Cheers,
Hayden

Nichelle just proving to everyone that she has more talent in her little finger than most have whole body and everyone else that went to the same acting school as they did combined in to one person.
May she have another 75 years of greatness to bless us with.

Damn, she’s 76 years old. Definitely a good look for her.

20 & 21. In the Quark pilot, Gene/Jean just acted feminine when he switched genders. But in the latter episode clips I just watched it was definitely a woman’s voice dubbed and I swear that it was Majel. Watch this clip at about 00:56.

That hairstyle and color do make Nichelle look younger. But she’s one fine woman regardless, whom age has been good to. I love her.

Quark was a good Trek/sci-fi movie spoof that I enjoyed, and still do whenever I take out the recent DVD set.. I even did a post on it recently at:
http://fantasticflashbacks.blogspot.com/2009/06/1978-quark-tv-show-articles_19.html

I didn’t see Gene/Jean as switching back and forth from straight to gay at all. He was simply switching genders.

If there seemed to be a stereotype it’s because a man talking, walking and acting like a woman is funny anyway, whether it’s done like on the show or by someone in real life. Men portraying women been a comedy staple for centuries lopng before it became a gay stereotype done for laughs and some people got sensitive to it.

So Quark only seems offensive when viewed in context of today’s society. It’s still funny to me, especially Ficus.

I do not remember Ms. Nichols in a psychic friends commercial.
I do not remember it because it NEVER HAPPENED. DO YOU HEAR ME!?!?!?!

Also, Quark was hilarious. Looking at it again on youtube one is reminded how crappy 70’s TV scifi was, though that show worked because it was a comedy. We should all be grateful Star Trek Phase II never happened as a 70’s TV series- it would have been a disaster.

Btw Gene Jean’s female voice was still good old Thom Thomerson, doing the kind of campy gay stereotype that further distinguishes it as a 70’s show. Still, a character that switches sexes would make a cool sf character if done seriously- very Octavia Butler.
