It's the pilot or first episode when you watch it on streaming all remastered and high Def and there's scenes where they clearly had trouble position the camera to avoid a tv-ma rating, that original outfit was so short. It's also rough she still had a lot of trauma from basically being used by the industry for sex appeal and noting else. But at least Star Trek had men in the background in the same length mini skirt.

Didn't they revamp the uniforms after season one because they were horribly uncomfortable?
IIRC from interviews that the uniforms remained generally uncomfortable. They were very stiff, and led to the famous “Picard Maneuver.” Sirtis’ uniform was changed to get rid of the dated “Cosmic Cheerleader” outfit. IMO her character’s early uniform was more in line with ToS’s making women on the Enterprise more “hot chick” than officer.
I love Marina but her character was so poorly written that Guinom (Goldberg's character) did Troi's job as counselor better than Troi ever could. Poor woman's entire role in the show was to be tortured and objectified while her character primary love interest shagged his way across the galaxy, Crusher probably got an award for her work during all his alien STDs.

Possibly her best scene was in Enterprise, where during an appointment with Data you see that her PADD says "top beach destinations".
Problem is this is partially Marina's fault. From her own reaccounting; it was basically her first job. The writers would go to the other actors and ask what they'd like to do in a given episode, or how they'd react to something, basically making the actors part of the script creation.
But Marina told the writers "uh, I don't know. Write me something. That's your job, isn't it?"
By the time she realised she had the power to actually make her character her own, it was already several seasons into TNG and far too late to actually change anything. The writers had long since stopped trying to include her in the writing process.
Hmm... I'll try and find a clip of where she told this story...
To be fair tho, Gates told the writers a lot of things and got her ass fired as a result.
Yeah she had a lot more demand as a perform because she only worked theater beforehand and she knew what her worth was, and people tend to hate that. Shatner did a pretty good BTS doc on TNG and the kind of weird power plays that went on that even Patrick Stewart was occasionally the target of. This period of TV production was a real high pressure environment and people had careers given and broken over pretty minor shit.
Yeah. That sucked.

What's going on here?
Typo. Shite. ^^;
Based Jellico.
I've seen so many meme edits of this scene that I was waiting for the reveal, lol.

Yes, and the moment Diana walked onto the bridge with a medical uniform on she instantly became a lot more hot.
The weird, tacky, revealing clothes she wore on duty were a lot more off putting.
I remember being a bit confused about why everyone other than her had to wear a uniform but she could wear "what she wanted".
Never would have guessed it was Star Trek producers demonstrating very non-Star Trek traits.

I love her. She's the queen of TMI during Q&A's. Like when she casually dropped that before she met her now husband, she "slept" with just about every single guest star. What a legend.

"Dress was so short that you could see what I had for breakfast" is such an amazing turn of words
Carrie Fisher said of the slave Leia bikini that, because it was rigid, while she was laying against Jabba it rode forward and anyone standing behind her could see "all the way to China." and she opined that's why the actor playing Boba Fett preferred standing back there.

Captain Jellico's "put on a real uniform" command was written in at Marina's request.
