We all approved. When saw that the Orion Slave Girl was going to be played by Diora Baird -- Diora Baird who looks like this, by the way --

-- we approved much, much more (we approved many times that day, if I recall). So please explain to us why the sexy Diora Baird in her role as the sexy Orion Slave Girl looks like this?
You can't, can you? For shame, Star Trek movie. For shame. (Via FilmDrunk)

Ok.... in responce to certain comments above. No. The Federation neither allows nor concondones slavery in any way shape or form. In fact that is 1 of the criteria for Federation membership... no slavery. As far as a slave girl running around Star Fleet Academy... she isnt a slave shes a student. As far as the question about why she is there given the fact that Orion isnt in the Federation... well... the Klingons in the Next Generation are not part of the Federation, although they ARE allies, and Yet Worf serves with distinction in Star Fleet. The Federation and Starfleet do allow individuals to join even if their race and planet as a whole have not. The pic is taken in a college dorm room cause that is exactly where she was in the Movie making out with Kirk. That was before Uhura came to the door and he scrambled under the bed to hide. Uhura was the Green Girl's roomate. -Live Long And Prosper-

'What the crap is this crap' just keeps running through my head over, and over, and over.

You're referring to "Mr. AtoZ", right? He's just one of the real idiots that have ruined the forums over on Trek Movie. Along with Dom and a few others, you can't carry on a reasonable conversation on that board unless you're willing to take their side, which is always as you put it the 'retarded' side. These days I just read the news of an article, and don't bother scrolling down below because Anthony just lets the discussions go all to shit.
-
...Ah yess, <I>Trekmovie</i>. Where a retard can have people banned for using the word "retard" in a post as if it were the N-word. Anthony Pasquale needs to stick to posting news and information, and avoid attempting forum moderation for which he clearly has AbZero skill.

This may have put me off of She-Hulk for a while. Just turn the lights out, and everything's okay again.

Real picture or not it's still pretty crappy. In fact, it says a lot about the quality of the movie if the new orion looks worse than the original from the 60's. I mean holy crap! how hard would it be to at least CG in some extra boobs or something?
-
@ZeroCorpse: Damn Straight! If you need anymore evidence, the whole ridged forehead fiasco that explained nothing should be referenced as well as the strange phenomenon where there were an abundance of species that mysteriously disappeared inbetween Enterprise and TOS, seriously, WTF?
-
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! It's Princess Fiona!

JJ Abrams and ass Robot team are just fucking up Star Trek.

@ JXN: "In 2154 some Enterprise crewmembers wound up as commodities themselves at a processing station on Verex III. When Captain Archer ..." Whoa whoa whoa... Let me stop you right there. NOTHING on Enterprise will ever be accepted as canon by a large number of Trek fans. It was an abomination that shat on Star Trek in major ways. It's Btrek, not Star Trek (they even omitted the words "Star Trek" from the title, thus removing it from continuity as far as I'm concerned). Any retconning done by Enterprise is NOT accepted. Sorry. TOS makes it clear they're SLAVES, and slaves they should remain if they want to have any stock with the old-school fans. And this B.S. about her being an Academy student... Gag me. I bet we still won't see any Caitians as main characters, either.

Orion Slave Girls aren't actually slaves anyway. To wit: "In 2154 some Enterprise crewmembers wound up as commodities themselves at a processing station on Verex III. When Captain Archer expressed surprise that the Orions would sell their own kind, Arik Soong told him the females were "known for their extreme appetites, their innate skills". The Verex market's Orion slaver had even sold his last wife. (ENT: "Borderland") Later that year the secret of the Orion slave girls' irresistiblity was discovered when the slave sisters Navaar, D'Nesh, and Maras were presented to Captain Archer, ostensibly to improve relations between Earth and the Orions. Their presence became a major distraction to the crew of the Enterprise due – it turned out – to the powerful pheromones which they were releasing. It was revealed that Orion females were not enslaved at all, but rather the enslavers, and the sisters were active agents in a plot to capture the Enterprise for their Syndicate. (ENT: "Bound") It would appear that the slave markets / processing stations too were most likely other than what they seemed. The Orion females may have actually used such venues as a means of deploying themselves to increase the power of the Syndicate." Memory Alpha.

If you guys don't want her I'll take her.
-
Wow, just wow, all you guys are kvetching about a hot, half-naked green woman. You guys give nerds a bad name, you really do. Incidentally, the first pic of the other Orion slave girl is none other than Yvonne Craig, who was best known as Batgirl.
-
Green whore with long hair in bikini. Yeah, definitely She-Hulk.
-
To be fair she's probably on screen for about 10 seconds.
-
How the fuck do they turn such a hot chick into that THING?!
-
I think she's gonna break the 4th wall and talk to the audience during a sex scene. Either way, Marvel has a lawsuit.
-
She doesn't look like a slave because she's NOT a slave. "TrekMovie.com revealed months ago that Nichols will be playing a (non slave girl) Orion at Starfleet Academy." http://trekmovie.com/2008/04/23/morrison-and-nichols-talk-a-little-trek/

varrior, You know, sorry to be a dick, but I'm sick of people having a clever smart ass remark without actually reading the conversation that lead up to it. This photo - along with about a dozen others, was released by Rittenhouse today. It is a promotional photo for their upcoming card set to be released on May 8th as part of their non-sports division "scifihobby". The picture is also being used promtionally by Baird herself. This is in addition to the fact that <i>this girl</i> can be seen <i>in this room</i> in the actual trailer for Star Trek: (trailer #2, near the end). How do I know these things? Because I do actually bother to do a little research before posting - and I read the other posts on this very thread that backed up their claims with information. Truth be told, I don't care about this photo one way or the other. I'm just sick of any conversation where people post info and then other people just ignore it to post their baseless ideas. Not intended to pick a fight. More info on this photo http://trekmovie.com/2009/03/30/new-images-from-star-trek-movie-from-rittenhouse-card-set/ http://www.worstpreviews.com/headline.php?id=12790

You know, I like to look at leaked photos and footage from upcoming, not-yet-released movies as much as the next guy, but you have to remember that leaked images and footage are not meant to be seen yet! Probably hasn't been through post-production and will look cleaner later on . . .
-
Dude, this is fake as hell. Orion chicks do not dress like that.
-
Shrek is going to be pissed his wife is banging kirk
-
The messy-ass Ikea-furnished dormroom setting really makes me question the legitimacy of this pic. Either that or my mind is subconciously activating some kind of hallucinogenic defense to keep itself from exploding.
-
Except for her lips, seems fine to me.
-
I couldn´t believe the bra & panties either.
-
<i>And I'll pass on having an Orion Slave Boy, unless they were younger or could grow 70s hair. Whats with alien guys being bald, anyway? They're clearly primate based so why wouldn't they have any kind of hair?</i> It's probably customary to shave it, or something like that. That's pretty much the youngest-looking Orion male I've seen, though.
-
OK... So it IS from the movie, and all my cleverness is for nothing. It's a bad still then. However, it does make me wonder what they're going for, having an Orion slave girl in bra and panties in Kirk's bedroom, as if she's not a slave at all.
-
This seems to be a legit pic of her as an Orion slave girl: http://www.phreecelebs.com/main/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/diora_baird_orion-slave-green-girl2.jpg

I think it's a re-colored (Photoshop) still from another movie. The problems, for those who don't see them: * Underwear. Not a slave-girl costume, but a bra and panties. * She's in someone's bedroom with a CD player in the background. * Her lips just look wrong- Like they didn't bother to apply decent lipstick. * Poor skin color. Very dark, with no shading or detail. Looks digitally tinted. * Brown hair. Orions don't have brown hair (Black, green, but not brown). * No eye makeup. Orion slave girls have dark eyebrows, lashes, and eyeliner. * The look on her face is quite dispassionate for an Orion slave girl. They usually look severe. * Really: Bra and panties with flowers/clovers on them? No. I'm going to guess that this is some fan-made fake. They took a still from some other movie, painted her green, and called it a day.

Yeah but some girls have naturally curly, non-permed hair donctha know! And I'll pass on having an Orion Slave Boy, unless they were younger or could grow 70s hair. Whats with alien guys being bald, anyway? They're clearly primate based so why wouldn't they have any kind of hair? And what are primate based beings doing as "aliens" anyway? Whats the evolutionary purpose of green skin? Yyyyyeah I'm too geeky to even enjoy sci-fi :(
-
Makes me crave canned vegetables...
-
The picture is an official publicity shot from the Rittenhouse cards. But I suggest that this is a case of poor photography more than anything. Also, check out the picture of Kirk and Uhura in the background.
-
The problem does not lie in the green skin or the skimpy hair. The problem is the horrible 4th grade half-perm/curls that she is wearing. Terrible! Why not go with the long flowing hair found in the above picture? Sometimes the solution to the problem is so damn simple, I wonder is something like this for real or are the people in charge really that clueless (we know the GI Joe big wigs are, so it is possible)?
-
<i>Also, are there Orion Slave Boys by any chance?</i> Well, according to <i>Enterprise</i>, who's the master and who's the slave is somewhat debatable, but Orion "boys" apparently look like this: http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/en/images/2/2d/OrionMale2154.jpg
-
Um... I'm a straight gal, can someone explain the problem to me? Also, are there Orion Slave Boys by any chance?
-
Looks fake to me.
-
I don't think that's real. Look at the background-- it looks like someone's college dorm! There are picture frames all around and a lamp from IKEA. It also doesn't look like her, except for the boobs. Don't worry, guys. Not real.
-
Orions aren't part of the Federation, and freeing them would probably cause a war with the Syndicate.
-
I don't see the problem either. Green chick in skimpy clothing...mission accomplished! A bigger question is why the Federation tolerates slavery. WTF!
-
I'd wager that it's during an Academy costume party, some classmate that just wants Kirk to lower her shields. Hence the really bad, smeared-off lip gloss. Girl needs to be more detail-minded in her cosplay. Kirk's first encounters with the actual Slave Girls came during the original series, hence the "irresistable to human males" anecdote (I think... Star Trek isn't my main area of expertise). And it wouldn't make much sense for a Slave Girl to be tooling around the Academy, right? Unless she were a guest lecturer?
-
I'm rather irritated that they're apparently going to have Kirk making out with an Orion girl (slave or otherwise), onscreen, on a bed, but I'm not sure what the problem is here, given that Baird's Orion make-up seems to resemble Susan (the <i>original</i> Orion slave girl) Oliver's quite closely: http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/en/images/e/ec/Vina_as_an_Orion_slave_girl.jpg
-
Is that She-Hulk?
-
This cant be real. Is it? I mean damn.
-
Is that Kirk's bedroom? This is both horrible and hilariously awesome at the same time. Drunken party hookup with an Orion slave girl!
-
This looks like a myspace version of what was SUPPOSED to happen.
