'It's the button on the helm to the left of the gas... umm... helm is offline. "Ooooooohhhhhhhh shit."'- Data's emotion chip.

She is so funny right? She needs her own stand up special.

:( I went to see her at a con in New Jersey and there was literally no one in her line. She was the only reason I went!

Is she as funny in person? I want to see her somewhere, preferably outside of FL where I live.

I hope Marina's unpopular talks haven't been because all this hate her character gets in KZfaq comments translates to real life even. She seems to be possibly the second most hated TNG character, but quite a few steps below Wesley. It's quite sad. I wouldn't want to be a fan of this show and yet harbor so much resentment for certain characters like these people apparently do. Hopefully they aren't just looking for characters to pick on and don't actually dislike them this much, but perhaps that would somehow be less severe of a conclusion in some ways.

@@pathogenofdecay Which of her talks were unpopular? I've never heard that? Thought all her talks were popular.

I met Gates McFadden back in the 90s

yeah but she was fucking the producers

She says that during the video.

What do you mean?

@@leif1075 Troi crashed both the Enterprise - D and E, one got to be repaired via spacedock, the other was left down on a planet (this was before Picard Season 3 of course!)

Did you regret that decision after the fact?

No. She didn't. She had a fail. Kirk had an epic fail.

@@Renji9031 Kirk gave them a fighting chance to live,... Deanna a long walk on a barren planet

@@Nightdare As I said... Kirk = EPIC fail, so much so that it Kirked and became a win. Deanna = fail.

To be fair, River was in command and failed to keep Geordi away from engineering…. And Beverly, apparently, didn’t bother to inspect the VISOR after he was returned.

Samantha Cranford She's hilarious and really lovely to meet to. I'm glad I had the opportunity to book a photo op, probably one of my favourite celebrities that I've ever met. :)

*too

Angie A in super jealous!! But I've met quite a few of my favorite celebs so that helps LOL congrats on meeting her!!

b003 no kidding. They should’ve just let her play herself.

She was originally going to be Yar and Denise was going to be Troi... We will never know what that future could have looked like.

Neither was really cut out for security though. Casting didn't apply a reasonable standard, setting up whoever got cast for failure. They should have hired some ex-olympic athlete or pro-wrestler or someone along those lines. ...though Marina could've carried an interesting character, sorta like Starbuck in the Galactica remake, but 20 years earlier), with a crash weight training course or a muscle suit or something ;)

To be fair, you don't have to be super brawny to head up security. That's what underlings are for. You just have to be skilled enough to pin them to the floor in the obligatory "training session" scene.

@@jv-lk7bc on the contrary. I think Denise Crosby did a masterful job portraying a security officer. She conveyed real authority & confidence.

I was just going to post a similar comment. They're literally just barely tittering at some great stories!

Paul Anderson who gives a damn she's hot

that was because the cheerleader outfit didn't suit her, and then she hated all her other outfits till they decided to give her a uniform

She is a gilf for sure.

albertusj only her husband can touch her legs

That's what you think as many would go to jail just to touch them.

albertusj. - and generally sexy body! 😀

The only problem with her is she has tats and I don't touch a woman with those and it makes any woman just look common.

Rex Not her fault. The audience is dead. Most Star Trek fans would be laughing. This must be a Star Wars audience.

I hear what you are saying, but Marina comes across as very rude and arrogant. Many Star Trek fans seem to like her direct personality. It's not for me. Generally speaking, I wish actors/actresses would quit trying to be stand up comedians and focus on being themselves and their time on set. It was a Star Trek convention, not a rock concern or comedy club.

Spiner made a career of being mainly a comedian on set. If they like you, you get invited back. She's a very entertaining and informative speaker. Thats how you get speaking work. ...and, having been a woman who spoke up in Hollywood as much as men do, she needed alternate sources of income.. because people who hold double standards for women think of that as "very rude and arrogant".

Personally I think she's hilarious. Marina is a very funny person. It's the audience on this occasion. I've seen other conventions where she carries on the same exact way and the audience is rolling in the aisles.

How do you know she's not just being herself? Besides which, I think she's very funny.

Colorme Dubious I think it's cultural, because this crowd's reactions seem normal to me, whereas American audiences of any kind of live entertainment except sport events, always seem way more loud and enthusiastic than I'm used to as a Brit. Irish audiences are probably more like British audiences than the American audiences that most of these ST panels are held for, and here (at least in the South of England; the North doesn't have the same reserved culture) even when comedy talk shows are being pre-recorded, the audience makes very little vocalisation other than laughter. There's little or no whooping and cheering.

They probably just weren't drunk enough.
