Dr. Richard Daystrom and Blacula

Actor William Marshall brought to life the brilliant architect of the advanced computer power on Starship Enterprise.  Fleshing out Dr. Richard Daystrom, Marshall gave fans an arresting performance in the original series episode, The Ultimate Computer.

Fans of the cult horror classic, Blacula, and its sequel, Scream, Blacula, Scream, know Marshall as the title character - the African Prince Mamuwalde, cursed to follow in Dracula's bloody footsteps.

Star Trek Sexy - Starship Spotlight - The Excelsior

Star Trek's most famous space faring vessel is Captain Kirk's Starfleet starship - the U.S.S. Enterprise 1701.  Of course, Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) may differ and say his Enterprise - U.S.S. Enterprise 1701-D was more popular.  Whichever you prefer - Voyager and Deep Space Nine are also contenders - the fact is the sci-fi franchise has given space ship fans a host of galactic goodies to choose from.  One of the more sleek, sexy and downright glorious is the U.S.S. Excelsior NCC-2000.

We first saw this awesome, and by the standards of Kirk's era a far more advanced star ship than Enterprise, in the feature film Star Trek III: The Search For Spock.  For all of its supposed might, however, it only takes Scotty a wee bit of tinkering to bring the grand old lady to a halt.  Our intrepid engineer removes key components of the warp drive, so that when Kirk hijacks Enterprise, the Excelsior can't follow.  Later, in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, none other than Hikaru Sulu (George Takei) now commands the trans-warp powered Excelsior.  At one point, it was even rumored that a new Trek show would debut with Captain Sulu at the helm of star trekking adventures.

Star Trek Sex - Deep Space Nine or Terok Nor - Cardassian Space Station Turned Starfleet & Bajoran Outpost

Deep Space Nine is one incredible space station.  Even before Commander Sisko (Avery Brooks) took command of the outpost - the former Cardassian station called Terok Nor - the place had a definite reputation as the go to spot for all sorts of outrageous or even sexy 'adventures'.  When the Barjorans allied themselves with the United Federation of Planets, the station was renamed Deep Space Nine or DS9, and Starfleet stationed officers to assist Bajor.

It would become the place to fuel up - both yourself and your ship - before taking a jaunt into the Bajoran Wormhole into the Gamma Quadrant.  Feel like a little gambling or need to relax over a few drinks?  Quarks is the happening place.  Be warned though - security is always vigilant.  Constable Odo (Rene Auberjonois) doesn't like any behavior that's too fun - i.e. not lawful.  By the time Quark or another of his Ferengi staff have sold you a few those pretty and 'affordable gems', you could find yourself spending a few days and nights in the brig for trafficking in stolen merchandise.  It may be worth it though, the Dabo girls are famous for being some of the sexiest gals in the cosmos.

The Many Looks Of Counselor Troi - Marina Sirtis

Star Trek is known for many things.  Fans love the starships - the Enterprise, the Defiant, the Excelsior, the USS Voyager.  Collectors love to buy their own prop replicas of the phasers or tricorders or communicators.  And one of the other things highly noted about Star Trek are the uniforms and costumes.  Perhaps no other character - certainly a regular cast member - had as many looks and costumes as the lovely Counselor of NCC-1701-D - Deanna Troi.

She showcased purple dresses and lavender, and blue and something in between.  She wore regulation command uniforms and skirts and skants and all sorts of other things.  One thing's for certain, Counselor Troi kept up with the fashionable side of things during her tour of duty.  Engage & set  phasers on FASHION!
