She went to star in the super popular and well known Ted Danson vehicle: Becker. *scoffs*
The funniest thing ever is I randomly tuned into an episode of Becker some years later and noticed she was off that show too.

Shocking that Becker lasted as long as it did. It's a workcom pretending not to be one. Comedy thicko secretary, shyster landlord, the Sam & Diane romance that goes nowhere because TF just leaves the show.

You have to remember the 90s were just wall-to-wall versions of this exact shit. “What if Taxi… but at a bus station?” “What if Mr. Kotter… but a university? ”What if Designing Women… but worse?”

It’s very funny watching Kirstie pretend nothing’s happening while the wardrobe department is clearly panicking. Silk over burlap is the future.

I loved sitcoms as a kid, which is the saddest part. But the brain can only absorb so much trash TV before it gives up.

I rediscovered this scene while going back over season 3 of TOS.

There's singing and dancing too. Classic Hollywood. 8)

this was a milestone in tv, the first weird-ass gay midget shit
there were stories some areas pulled the episode, and one guy wrote into the paper about how if a red-blooded American like Jim Kirk was okay with it then it was good enough for him!

Edit: Looked it up, she's the one who left. Kek. First she was asking for as much money but to do less episode and be able to pursue her own work. When they wouldn't do that, and the show was looking to change romantic interest anyway she just left. The rest of her IMDB has zero regular roles after as suspected.

Deceisive strategic Terry Farrell victory. Some of her detractors will have to work until they're in the grave. Just saying.
 
She still goes to cons and I guess makes some cash from it. People also remembers her fondly from the show. Same for Denise Crosby. Yesterday's Enterprise is perhaps the highest rated tng episode and she's an important part of it. They both took a bad decision, but it wasn't as catastrophic as people tend to think.
 
If your looking for people who screwed up their life there's always Jennifer Lien(Kes). She left or got fired, let herself go, got arrested for indecent exposure to children (charges dismissed though) and then I think she's just kept herself out of the public since, not sure.

But it is really easy to forget that actors for really big shows can earn staggering amounts of money. Like when you watch a sitcom with some fumbling dad character with a loser job and a relatable disposition and then no, the actor is a multimillionaire, he earns more for a single episode than you do in a year.

See, the thing with Terry and Denise is, it'd appear they fumbled it in the short run - and they perhaps did. But they have all the financial stability in the world now. They really can do whatever they want and they're still getting more money out of this than most people would from regular 9 to 5s.

There's no way the runabout is that big inside, right?

It's 23.1 meters long. Width is probably in the 6-7 meters range, twice that with the nacelle-arrangement. So, you'd have a boat with 120-140 m² internal space. It's probably closer to 80-90 if you account for all the stuff you're not supposed to access normally. It's a fancy space RV.

Yeah, the remake was like what if we made him racist and gave him spider-robot legs.

The racism is literally puns. "I haven't seen you in a coon's age" or "How did we arrive at this dark situation."

This remake was extra insulting, given that the original show was one of the few on 60's network TV that has remained legitimately enjoyable (Star Trek being one of the few others),

I remember when I walked out of the theater after watching this movie, I was filled with an intense rage directed at everyone involved in creating it. Even after all these years I can't think about Wil Smith's mincing performance without a tinge of fury rising. The absolute worst of a very prolific era of 90's cultural vandalism.

Peak Salma Hayek cleavage was all it had going for it, and that wasn't even close to enough...

I guess the show didn't do it justice. To me it felt like a bigger shuttlecraft with a cockpit, a transporter and a small room behind.

Well, they had only money to build like 3 sets for the damn thing, but from the size of the cockpit alone you can tell it's not a mere shuttle. It's also heavily armed for a ship that size. They crammed 6 phasers and 2 torpedo tubes into the hull.

For the first couple of seasons of DS9 it would be easy to assume that from the interior, as you were only ever shown the front cockpit area.

However, it was always intended to be bigger, and we finally saw more in the TNG episode Timescape where Picard, Geordi, Troi, and Data return from a conference in a Runabout to find the Enterprise frozen in time, seemingly in a battle with the Romulan.

The showrunners built an additional set for this episode that shows off the rear of the craft's interior, showing the additional living space, bunks, and a conference table.

Barry Sonnenfeld directed, it’s Men in Black if instead of aliens it’s just cyborg racists. Dr. Loveless is such a MIB sequel villain, too.

It's like after The Addams Family made money, Hollywood was digging up every ’60s TV show like they're grave robbers, but they don’t even like the shows. It’s never affectionate.

I’m still mad because they lied. Every interview was teasing a Salma Hayek nude scene and then it’s just...what? An ass crack? Not even a whole cheek. I think I saw more of Marty's ass in Back to the Future III. (:_(

That could have been just cargo space that they accommodated because they're all fancy. It can't be hard to replicate a table and chairs. "We come from the Enterprise, we ain't take anything less than a table with a fruit bowl!"

This is kind of true in-universe. The Runabouts were meant to be both modular and adaptable. While what we saw was probably one of the standard crew transport configurations, you could easily change what is essentially a large room to be whatever you needed.
