(Nyssia) I don't mean to offend anyone, but I've >been over this again and again with people (in person)...all she >is is a cute bod who screams alot and perpetuates the "females are >bubbles" stereotype. I think the key words here are 'cute bod' but at the same time I really disagree-- she wasn't a bubble. She was mis-scripted a fair amount, but she was the strongest female companion since Romana. I think she's much better, overall, than a Leela or a Teegan (or a romana II, for that matter). Don't shoot nyssa, shoot the scriptwriters (while you're at it, shoot them for the way they misused Adrick, too). >But ask yourselves this: >would you all be rushing to her defense if she had the same character, >same acting ability, same dialog, but was short, dumpy and had pimples? Oh, you mean like Teegan??? *grin* chuq (member of the Men in Lust for Nyssa fan club....*grin*) -- From behind the bar at Callahan's: Chuq Von Rospach {allegra,cbosgd,decwrl,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo}!nsc!chuqui nsc!chuqui@decwrl.ARPA You can die of loneliness or you can speak out and say 'I need you.'
