Pardon the language, but Joanne Linville.... HOT DAMN!! You'd have to be Vulcan to be able to resist that!! She can whisper her name in my ear any day. Yowza!! Hottest woman on Star Trek since Yeoman Rand! I have to admit I loved this episode for other reasons too. I was left guessing as to what the plot was and all. The redirections of the plot kept me blind until the turn itself. Nicely done. Good acting, especially the on screen chemistry of Spock and the Commander. It seems Season 3 is gonna have the most obvious moment of comedy come at the end, as here we see Chekhov, Sulu, and Uhura fighting off the urge to laugh audibly.

One of my faves from TOS.

 

Saw Joanne Linville at the Vegas Con last August. She still looked darn good and was warm and personable to boot.

She still looks good. And she's got to be almost 70 by now.

The Enterprise Incident was one of my top five favs from TOS.

I'm looking forward to seeing the remastered version.

This episode is in the top 5 of best TOS episodes ever. Joanne Linville was absolutely wonderful in this episode. The acting in general was superb as was the storyline. As an aside, Joanne Linville has been starring in "The Gilmore Girls" for several years now if anyone is interested.

I didn't know that, but I don't watch Gilmore Girls either.

The Enterprise Incident is one of my top five faves for TOS. Great storyline.

She does look good for her age which according to one bio seems to be late 70's! I talked to her this year at the Vegas Con and she was indeed warm and charming.

Kor, was she appearing with no credit on Gilmore Girls? It's not listed in her credits, & not on the Gilmore site that I can find. What character did she play?

 

Some Joanne Linvile info:

 

Joanne Linville

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.

 

Joanne Linville (born 15 January 1928 in Bakersfield, California) is an American actress who guest-starred on Star Trek: The Original Series in 1968, playing the Romulan commander in the episode "The Enterprise Incident". As such, she was the first actress to play a female Romulan in the Star Trek franchise, and it may be this role for which she is most well-known. According to the Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, Linville was asked to reprise her role as the Romulan commander for the Next Generation episode "Face of the Enemy", but the actress was unavailable.

 

Linville began acting on television in the 1950s, appearing on several popular anthology series such as Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Kraft Television Theatre, and One Step Beyond. Perhaps her earliest was a 1954 episode of Studio One co-starring fellow TOS guest performer David Opatoshu. She went on to make three more appearances on Studio One (including one with Fritz Weaver), and even had a recurring role on the show. Another early appearance for Linville was a 1956 episode of The Kaiser Aluminum Hour entitled "Gwyneth", in which Linville played the title character. This episode also marked the first of several times Linville would work with her future Star Trek co-star William Shatner. She and Shatner would next appear together in a 1958 episode of The United States Steel Hour and then in a 1961 episode of The Defenders – both times playing husband and wife – before working together on Star Trek. She also worked with Leonard Nimoy prior to Star Trek, co-starring together (with Paul Carr) in a 1962 episode of the drama Sam Benedict.

 

In 1959, Linville co-starred with the man who played the first Romulan commander seen on Star Trek, Mark Lenard, on a DuPont Show of the Month production of Don Quixote. In 1961, she starred as a Civil War widow unaware of the fact that she's dead in the episode of The Twilight Zone entitled "The Passerby", co-starring with fellow TOS guest stars James Gregory and Rex Holman. She also guest-starred with Celia Lovsky in an episode of Gunsmoke that same year.

 

She went on to appear on such shows as Ben Casey, I Spy, The Fugitive (in an episode playing the wife of James Daly with Arch Whiting), Bonanza (playing the daughter of Jeff Corey's character), Hawaii Five-O (including a two-parter with Vince Howard, William Schallert, and Bill Zuckert), Kojak (with Malachi Throne), The Streets of San Francisco, CHiPs (with Robert Pine), Charlie's Angels (with Bill Zuckert), and Mrs. Columbo (starring Kate Mulgrew in the title role). She also co-starred with both Fritz Weaver and Jason Wingreen in one episode of two different shows: The F.B.I. in 1969 (having previously appeared in an episode with William Smithers) and Barnaby Jones in 1970 (on which she had previously appeared with Richard Derr). Lee Meriwether was a regular on the latter series.

 

Linville's career also included small roles in a few feature film, most notably as Burt Lancaster's wife in the 1973 action thriller Scorpio, which also featured fellow Trek veterans John Colicos, James B. Sikking, William Smithers, and Celeste Yarnall. Her earliest film, however, was the Academy Award-nominated 1958 drama The Goddess.

 

Additionally, Linville had roles in a number of made-for-TV movies, including 1970's The House on Greenapple Road, in which she played the wife of the character played by William Windom. (Paul Fix was also in this film.) During the 1980s, Linville made two appearances on the soap opera Dynasty (starring Joan Collins and Lee Bergere), and the 1989 TV movie From the Dead of Night (with Merritt Butrick) before retiring from acting.

 

Linville is married to director Mark Rydell, and it was only for a supporting role in his 2001 TV biopic on James Dean that she briefly came out of retirement. She and Rydell have been married since 1962, and have had two children together – actors Amy and Chris Rydell, the latter of whom has appeared on Star Trek: Enterprise.

Shatner made a great romulan, I saw him years ago at a convention and he was still acting like a romulan. He was rude and arrogant and acted like the fans who were there and paid for him to be there were beneath him. Let's hope he has stopped that behavior since he now has a successful tv series and made a pile of money from the trek movies.
