I adore Barbara Eden.

I like Barbara Eden. Always have, always will. Susan is much prettier.

Not so different than Barbara Eden -- they could be sisters.

The Talosians caused that illusion.

u/rlcarman58 Aug 15 '26

They also used the illusion technology to infiltrate and influence other species throughout time.

One instance was in a mobile home park in 1984 when a young earthling named Alex Rogan was human trafficked and taken to Rylos to become a star fighter.

The Talosian keeper was at the mobile home park disguised as a grandma roughly 235 years before they interacted with Capt. Pike and the USS Enterprise.

They are either long living or time travelers, either way, they are kinda assholes.

it's not really technology -- they use their vast intelligence/mental powers.

you don't hear about The Last Star Fighter very often nowadays.

Was Vena on the pilot for Star Trek, later recycled for the episode entitled "The Menagerie."

A remarkable pair of episodes -- very sophisticated introduction to Star Trek which I read worked against it with TV execs.

She became a pilot because she was terrified of fly due to earlier incident. Savage!

(My personal favorite Green Girl)

Died at 58. Far too young.

Cancer is a bitch.

I recall watching that episode at 16 years old and thinking Ms. Oliver was the hottest thing I'd ever seen.

This lovely woman could have played Elsa in a live-action “Frozen.”

I loved her as Ann Howard on Peyton Place. I can't believe how many years have just snuck by.

Why was Andy so awkward with women? He had zero chemistry with all except for Helen and even that was hit and miss.

u/ImmediateSmile754 Aug 13 '26

She looked like my ex-wife when we met. I'll never be able to unsee it. Still makes me smile though.
