Its like, well, we can't tell good stories and have compelling characterization, so we will just throw in a hot babe in a skintight cat suit to save the show. I don't know what is worse, the fact that Paramount went for it or the fact that it really did save the show!
Well the sad fact is that they DIDN'T have many compelling characters, and their stories were often piss-poor as well. Seven was a breath of fresh air on a show where the only one who seemed even remotely likeable was the hologram. Maybe Tuvok.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

If Circuit Breaker was the best you could do you were reading the wrong comics... :lol:

wow! who knew a conversation on the so-called 'Neo Knights' could degenerate so quickly. :?:

But it is interesting how women are portrayed in modern comics. Especially in the aforementioned 'Bad Girl' comics craze. I'm sure that trend helped alot of guys through puberty, huh? :eek:

My fault. Blame me - I shouldn't have joined this topic. It always happens.

Anyway, most people don't remember much of the other, more limited, Neo Knights, so surely the answer to this topic should be Circuit Breaker by default. She's certainly had the most mentions in this topic.

Psylocke, Rogue, the cast of Gen 13, the list goes on and on . . . .

Psylocke was probably the most gratuitous in the x-men, however. Her character was totally changed in order to fit the mold of the current trend.

Rapture when for a few moments she takes over Unicrons mind, now that is pretty cool!

Blackrock may have been loosely based on Tony Stark, but the noticeable lack of alcohol differentiates the two.

I chose Rapture, mainly because she's hot (yes, I do know she's not real). But I also think a highpoint in The Human Factor was when her and Thunderpunch had words: he's being a sexist pig (admiring CB's curves) and she calls him a 'son of a-'. Adult themes in a maturing comic...

And did you actually COUNT the number of times Circuit breaker was mentioned (not including this one of course) so you could beat it by one?

And perhaps we shouldn't mention 'Black' Rock - there's enough problems with Sweden's black ice-cream. ;)

Actually, I didn't count, though excluding stuff that turns up in quotes, Thunderpunch is currently ahead of the other one who I shan't actually mention. At least in terms of getting his name used.

Go Thunderpunch!

Do you mean Circuit Breaker? You did mean Circuit Breaker, right? Yeah, Circuit Breaker - that's her. Isn't Circuit Breaker in the lead anymore? Someone else is in front of Circuit Breaker? Beating Circuit Breaker? That's a real pity (for Circuit Breaker), she - by which I mean Circuit Breaker - should have her name the most. Circuit Breaker should be mentioned far more than the one that isn't Circuit Breaker. I think we should ALL mention Circuit Breaker, don't you? Just try saying Circuit Breaker. Circuit Breaker. See? Saying Circuit Breaker feels good. Circuit Breaker. OOO! Gives me goosebumps each time I say Circuit Breaker. Circuit Breaker. Circuit Breaker! CIRCUIT BREAKER!!!

Circuit Breaker...

You saw that CB kitbash someone made? :p (drools)

Anyway, she was sometimes annoying in that "Shut up Barnett, I hate robots and even if they save my life for the tenth time will I change my mind" way....

But Andy Wildman did know how to draw her... Rrrrrr. (Pity he drew Scorponok without a head in scorpion mode...)

About Blackrock, what do G and B actually stand for?

Well, the Next Generation had one of those from the very beginning!

Although I hesitate to call Marina Sirtis a hot babe, actresses weren't as good looking in the 80's

I actually thought Troi's purply-pastel thing looked awful, and it was great when they finally gave her a real uniform in the last season or two.
