Troi's eyes
Robert Perlberg
Troi's. Other actors who have played Betazoids (like Majel Barrett)
have obviously worn black contacts. My question is, does Marina Sirtis
wear contacts or are those her real eyes?

They are her real eyes. Take a look at some of the movies she has been
in (The Wicked Lady, Blind Date, Death Wish III[or so I am told]).

According to an interview with Sirtis from a magazine I cannot remember
for the life of me, they're contacts, and she gets annoyed because
Spiner gets all the sympathy - people notice his more, and he plays on
it a bit...
Actually, as far as I recall black irises are impossible (in humans
anyway) although I'm not sure. Mine went black after I was hit in the
eye by a projectile and it bled internally. I don't think that counts
though.

Marina Sirtis does indeed wear contacts while filming ST:TNG.
(Evidently she may also wear contacts in other roles as well.)

Some people, like me, have very dark brown eyes and they are so dark that
they do look black. Mine look black unless you stare at them for a long,
long, looooong time and try to find the pupil. The difference in colors is
very faint.

Does anyone have a list of movies that the cast of ST:TNG have been in?

Wrong, wrong. Sirtis has lighter color eyes in real life. Both she and
Majel Barrett as Lwaxana Troi wear black contact lenses.

After seeing all the postings about Troi's eyes, a possible connection
occurred to me. Anyone out there remember the JAL empath in David Gerrold's
*Star Skimmer*? She had totally black eyes, and wore glasses to hide them,
since they supposedly disturbed people.

Having met Marina, I can say with certainty that her eyes are not really black
nor are they blue. She has beautiful light golden brown eyes and wears tortoise
shell glasses some of the time as she is slightly near-sighted. She's also
shorter than she looks on TV..:) :) :)

Oh, bloody hell. What happened to my commentary?
Never mind. What I said was, I don't see why Sirtis OR Spiner are
complaining about their contacts. Soft colored contacts are quite
comfortable if fitted properly and kept clean and lubricated. If
they're having problems, they ought to talk to the ophthalmologist
Paramount is using--this doesn't sound normal.
Either that, or they're whining for attention. Which is possible.

Seemed pretty succinct to me. You made your point known with a minimum of
bandwidth... 8^) 8^) Of course, I'm not claiming that I *understood* it,
mind you... 8^)

If I saw a picture of Sirtis out of costume, the __last__ thing I'd
look at would be her eyes....

What I'm more curious is.... how is it possible that the first post here (and the other few) show a date of the year 1992?? The internet wasn't fully commercialized until 1995 in the States as far as my knowledge goes.

thing. I'd guess that most people access Usenet groups via the
Internet now but that wasn't always the case.
The Internet was in use by some institutions (including some large
American corporations and universities) prior to 1995. Usenet was in
use prior to the popularization of the Internet in the mid-1990s. I
recall seeing Usenet newsgroups in the late 1980s (about a decade
after it started) and early 1990s.
Anyone with a message-ID of an old post can create a followup to that
post, no matter how old the parent post is, merely by including the
old message-ID in the References: header. Users with particularly huge
caches of old articles will be able to properly thread such new posts.
You might not be able to go back decades on your news server but other
news servers could have more old articles than your news server
does. There are limits on article numbering which are being addressed
in discussions about NNTP but that's another issue to take up
elsewhere.
I don't know of any news server offering old posts (even on a
read-only basis) via NNTP. But it would be interesting to use modern
newsreaders on such a server and see old posts again.
The Horny Goat
of 1994 when I first posted to Usenet having been heavily into the
Fidonet "echoes" before that. I was with a local ISP named portal.ca
until I went with my present broadband provider - but portal was
definitely commercial. There has of course been a big difference
between 1200 baud and 300 mbps.....
