RikerChick 5 Posted May 3, 2003 Did anyone notice that in Encounter at Farpoint Deanna wore her hair down and a regular uniform (dress) and then after that they totally switched it to the updo and pantsuits? Does anyone know why they did that? Was Encounter at Farpoint filmed much earlier then the rest of the episodes or something? Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RikerChick 5 Posted May 3, 2003 Yup, the producers thought she looked too cheerleader like and wanted her to look more official. Well I thought she looked pretty darn cute in the blue dress. The updo was a bit much. She looked best in the movies with her natural hair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takara_Soong 4 Posted May 3, 2003 The "official" explanation was given in Chain of Command when Jellico ordered her to wear a standard uniform. She said that Picard thought it was better for her to dress as she had been so the crew would open up to her more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Takara_Soong 4 Posted May 3, 2003 I guess I'm in the minority. I liked the bunhead look. It certainly was an improvement over the frizz monster in Farpoint. Other than in Farpoint I would have to say that the only other time I didn't like her hair was when it was like this  I think I can safely say that the extensive use of cheerleaders is strictly a US phenomenon. I nearly fell out of my chair when I heard that they have scholarships for cheerleading!! I'm not saying we don't have cheerleaders in Canada but their use is certainly not prevalent. Very small squads for schools and CFL teams is about the extent of their use that I can think of. When my friend and I had season tickets to my CFL team we discovered the unexpected bonus that we sat in the section that had the least cheerleader time. Woo hoo!!! You can probably tell I don't have much use for the concept of cheerleading. This is certainly not meant to be a put down of the the people who do it or like watching it. A lot of it has to do with the sexualization of cheerleaders (more in the professional ranks) - practically non-existent costumes, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The updo was a bit much. She looked best in the movies with her natural hair. Agreed! I always liked her after season 6, when she got into a normal uniform. Untill then, she bugged the heck out of me...(her hair too...intergalactic cheerleader? that's great, lol!) Â Don't diss frizzy hair! Mine's like that, and believe me, if there's nothing you can do, there's nothing you can do... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lessa_Soong 0 Posted May 4, 2003 I thought the hair was ok and did not get me much, but in the picture Takara posted...the chest! could she show more of her chest? I don't think so! and it bugged me. How could anyone bare their soul to her with her baring her chest like that? :oops: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Takara_Soong 4 Posted May 4, 2003 Her catsuits weren't as bad as some of the others. Remember this outfit: Â Â Personally I really liked this outfit but in Data's Day when they showing her preparing her tea and give that clevage shot. Â One nice thing about Troi's wardrobe is that they re-used so many of her costumes. A lot more real than other tv programs where you see an outfit once and never again.
