My Dad used to buy me comics and Pez, but he's get mad if I opened them ("because the guy at the flea market told him that's the only way they're worth anything") - blah.<br /><br />Intersting about the fates of all the female characters. I knew about several of those, but I had no idea it was so consistent. It seems like it should have a poltergeist-style urban legend surrounding it :)ShesFantastichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12933595350944635451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2946432195706443.post-72622213651395291702013-05-18T06:16:02.630-04:002013-05-18T06:16:02.630-04:00I remember my parents mail ordered that classic br...I remember my parents mail ordered that classic bridge set for me around 1994 I'd say. It was still a little while till Christmas, so I snuck into my parents room & grabbed the shipping box from under their bed. Made a little hole in the box, big enough to get a glimpse of Uhura & a couple of others. Christmas couldn't come soon enough!<br /><br />It was very cool when we finally got Chapel & Rand in figure form. Rand is kinda like Tasha Yar, often overlooked due to their early departures from their respective shows. <br /><br />Quite a few females left Trek:<br /><br />Number One - fired (came back as Nurse Chapel)<br />Rand - fired<br />Tasha - quit<br />Beverly - fired (and brought back)<br />Pulaski - fired<br />Jadzia - quit<br />Kes - fired <br /><br />Star Trek did have trouble with their leading ladies! lolArtistixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00453324930397701520noreply@blogger.com
