Wow, I wouldn't even recognize her if I ran into her on the street. Did she get lip injections?

MODERATORS
I think it's more like, there's been 30 years since DS9.
Ooh, now I want to read the stuff that didn't make it into the book, and the interviews that never got made for different reasons. How many copies do each of us need to buy for a sequel to be commissioned?
Disappointed that Marina Sirtis wouldn't interview, though I kind of get why. Her role as a woman on Trek is certainly one of the more... complicated ones.
For sure! That's why I hope this book opens more conversations with Sirtis and others about their experience, whether it'll be in a Visitor-penned sequel or elsewhere.
Specifically Sirtis would be interesting, because she so definitely was put in the "female box", while her real (or convention appearance) persona is much fuller — and outspoken than the often docile role she played.
When the book was initially announced, I didn't think much of it, but it seems like Visitor really put a lot of work into this thing.
Sounds like the publisher approached her to do a coffee table fluff book, and then she added her own critical feminist special sauce 🌶️🌶️🌶️
This is the first I'm hearing of her book, it looks good and I've always liked Nana's willingness to speak out. I will have to check it out.
These interviews are really interesting! I'm going to have to go and read the book now.
