(you know I am joking, along with the olives, Tweed, and rush. Similar to Colbert and bears)
Linking it with the OP, when I saw Magma in NYC a few years ago, Isabelle Feuillebois* stared at me for a moment and I melted into a full swoon. I felt seriously overwhelmed and wanted to turn invisible.
*spellcheck suggested Bouillabaisse and Filibuster
Speaking of oddly sexualiized childrens’ content, I recall seeing this Electric Company short in grade school and thinking there was something going on
The very definition of a good-looking woman of mature years.
Yeah I know, thanks for saying so. I know this game and I’m playing along.
Surprised nobody mentioned The Magic Garden.
That’s almost certainly an urban legend. They’d shoot a color card for calibration at the head of each roll loaded into the camera, or if the lighting changed significantly midway through. Trek in particular was not lit naturalistically at all — the set was bathed in flashing colored lights whenever someone got mind-controlled or whatever.
MikeTheBard is partially right: What he’s referring to is during shooting of the pilot “The Cage”, with Susan Oliver’s Vina Orion Slave Girl outfit – also in green – they would send the footage out to the lab to be developed; the developers, confused at seeing a green girl and not understanding the science fiction context, thought there was an error on their end, color corrected so that she seemed normal. This went back and forth a couple times until Roddenberry explained to the lab that she was supposed to be green.
I read about this semi-recently but can’t recall where; however I found this ancient Starlog article from 1988 where Susan Oliver mentions the same thing (see third column, first page, up at the top):

On a side note: is Yvonne Craig breathtaking in that photo or what? : )
Maybe this will run again next year and you can get your wish.
Yep, Diana Rigg as Emma Peel for me too. And I absolutely treasure every moment she’s on Game of Thrones.
This is my first official post here so forgive me for jumping in here but, OH GOD!!! what have you done? You may have ruined Sean Connery for me forever. I can’t un see…those legs… so hairy…
You’ve never watched Zardoz? Everyone should watch Zardoz.
He hosts horror movies at the AFI on occasion.
There were so much warm and passionate than that weird Stephens family in Bewitched.
A bold choice; though maybe it was just her unfortunate costume that drove me away from the subtle charms of Wilma and on to the more obvious vistas of Princess Ardala. Biddy-biddy-biddy indeed.
I have a vivid meme pry of a time n my life where my views changed. One moment, I felt nothing, the next moment…well, let’s just say the situation changed.
I seem to vaguely remember the ending but possibly blacked it out of my memory on account of those legs. I’ll have to add it to my “Weird Sci-Fi Films to Be Revisited” List along with Brazil and Silent Running.
No no no, to get an accurate Connery, you begin by saying “Schpoons” over and over.
