Reply #17: Ummmm! A Slight Flaw In Your Logic [View All]

All the central female characters in Bab5 wore make-up all the time too! I like both shows immensely, but if your criticism of STNG was based upon this, then you missed how the Bab5 woman dressed too.

Also, remember, that STNG, even when their were problems with other races were STILL basically explorers not warriors. No such dilemma existed for the Bab5 folks. They were at war and they knew it. They were on a stationary space platform. They weren't explorers at all.

So, the overall premise is so radically different that it's easy to explain how the STNG woman would be a little more concerned about mundane, day in the life, type of things. The men too! Riker playing the trombone? Not during wartime.
