The Vulcan babe is the exact reason you don't give hot girls trying to show how hot they are - A GUN!!
she is running bent over looking at you saying worship my TRIBBLE, while firing a phaser in another direction - Oh did I shoot something- that`s ok I still looked good`
Youtube is full of girls getting knocked out by recoil - but I guess the phaser does not do that so -meh.
The best bit? He makes it look better than she does
But the Riker pic is still a recoverable angle - the Vulcan chick - at the bent over angle of her hips to torso - I don`t think there is any way to avoid a tumble -especially in 2 inch heeled boots - no way!
The other perspective that makes this angle of her body plausible is if she where jumping/about to leap off a cliff or some high point.
Since she has no concern for landing her back leg this solution above is the only answer. There is no physical way the back leg could be brought forward to continue the run. Even if somehow it was able to get forward the 2 in heel of the boot would hit the ground twist her ankle/leg/knee into a pretzeel.

Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them." -Thomas Marrone
You really know that you've made it once your website icon gets featured on Escher Girls !
Congratulations STO Website Design Team.
Bravo.
Great job, STO.
Keepin' it classy.
They even had to invent a new iteration of the Hawkeye just for STO.
Long live the Riker.
At this point, anyone who says it's not a pandering, sexist image is just lying to themselves.
So, yeah.
Got your own feature on Escher Girls.
Honestly, with as horrible as the image is ... should've seen it coming.
Escher Girls has picked up the image from the home page. If you're wondering what that means:
This is a blog to archive and showcase the prevalence of certain ways women are depicted in illustrated pop media, specifically how women are posed, drawn, distorted, and sexualized out of context, often in ridiculous, impossible or disturbing ways that sacrifice storytelling.
Cryptic, take note, this is not an "OMG a girl/sexuality/TRIBBLE being used to sell something" moment. It is the absurdity of the image itself which is meme-worthy. Walk it back before it spreads and the first thing the general population associates with STO is T'TRIBBLE and her memes.
_______________ CommanderDonatra@Capt.Sisko: ahhh is it supposed to do that? Norvo Tigan@dontdrunkimshoot: hell ya, maybe
Yet, I'm sure they probably see the Victoria's Secret specials as somehow empowering women.

So? The real question is why should it bother anyone? We live in a society that oversexualizes the feminine form because it WORKS. Honestly by now most of us are more or less immune to it and I for one certainly appreciate Miss Vulcan's appeal . Is her position and pose kinda goofy? Yes. Would I have preferred she was looking at her target? Also yes, but at least I can understand the idea was to have the viewer lock onto her eyes that are looking straight out at the viewer. Naturally they couldn't really have Miss Vulcan looking straight at the audience while pointing a charged phaser at them could they?
Also... I went to the link but who the heck is "Escher Girls" and why should Miss Vulcan appearing there have any relevancy? All I saw was them putting the pic at an angle and adding some flowers that clearly did not match. Yay, clashing angles are artsy! meh. The person that photoshopped Miss Vulcan to have a more modest zipped up jacket deserves far more praise even as "I" would prefer she was more daring with her zipper, but she IS a Starfleet Officer, so what can you do?
Tired of drifting, searching, shifting Instance up and down
Every time I slip and slide a little further down
I can?t blame you if you won?t take me back
After everything I put you through
But honey you?re my last hope
And who else can I turn to
Come on phaser Lady take my word
I won?t run out on you again believe me
Oh, I?ve seen the light
It?s just one more pointless fight
Without you
Here I am a million light years from home
The Solar wind and Radiation go through me
I?m lost and alone, In the PVP zone
Phaser Lady
Double talkers, STF gawkers at every turn
Drozana station and Icy Racing still I had to learn
That the one shining thing in my mind
Was the sweet love I had with you
And honey you?re my last hope
And who else can I turn to
Come on phaser Lady take my word
I won?t run out on you again believe me
Oh, I?ve seen the light
It?s just one more pointless fight
Without you
Here I am a million light years from home
The Solar wind and Radiation go through me
I?m lost and alone, In the PVP zone
Phaser Lady
Can?t you find it in you to forgive me
Cause here I am a million light years from home
The solar wind and radiation go through me
I?m lost and alone, in the PVP Zone

Star Trek Women have been in sexy clothing since The Original Series. So it is part of Star Trek to have a sexy vulcan babe on the homepage.
And that makes it alright?
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though. JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

Seven of nine is not sexualised
or sexy
its a corpse in an overall
Please don't start that old argument up again.
Seven of Nine was assimilated. Then she was liberated. Then she gradually regained her original identity throughout the series.
You say she's not alive because she was assimilated? Why? Look at all the crazy things that are classified as "life" in Star Trek. If this thing qualifies, Seven definitely does.

Just look out any of you guys following her!
...that Riker pic is the best thing I've seen all week. And I browse imgur regularly so that's saying a lot.

Clearly this is the answer.
Invisible Groper Descendant from Kirk.... that needs to be a character class alongside Tactical, Engineering, and Science!
