I think anything is better than her silver costume. The ribs were cool, but she is waaaay too busty to be taken seriously. Her breasts were just too distracting in serious scenes.

but she is waaaay too busty to be taken seriously.

That is a really stupid statement and I hope you're just a troll and this is not seriously the way you think.

Sorry, that came out wrong. I really didn't mean that.

What I did mean is that they made her the hot female character in the lycra (like Troi) but took it too extreme so that she seemed cartoonish. Basically they didn't dress her well for her body shape. She has large breasts and a slim body and the lycra and corset really emphasised this so that in all scenes she looked like a fanboy cartoon. Personally I found her costume distracting when she was in serious scenes. Large breasts grab your attention and took me out of the scene.

Okay see I'm having a problem here because I agree the outfit was ridiculous fanboy service and looked out of place, but I totally disagree that having large breasts should in any way be an indicator of a scene's seriousness or a character/actor's ability to carry off a serious scene.

Given good writing, good acting, and a mature audience, large breasts should have no impact on the ability to carry off a serious scene.

However...

So you're saying that women above a certain cup size can't be cast for certain roles or be expected to be taken seriously.

They should expect to be taken seriously by people not operating in the mindset of your stereotypical seventh-grade boy.

If it makes a difference, I'm using 'expect' in the sense of 'think ___ will happen' rather than 'think ____ should happen'.

I feel like the showrunners were the constantly overly sexing the women on Trek. Brannon Braga has a terrible reputation with Seven of Nine and Kate Mulgrew has a story aboutmuch she hated the wonderbra they tried to make her wear.

I feel like I'm digging a hole here but I'll try again.

They made her overly sexy. When she was talking about her parents being killed by the borg I didn't feel that having in a fanboy costume was appropriate. I guess what I mean to say is that I found the emphasis on her breasts distracting. They put her in a corset and did a lot of shots to bring attention to her chest. I wish she had been in a uniform like everyone else.

IRL Jeri Ryan dresses great. She has done great serious work. I think she was perfect for the part as an actress. It's the costume department who screwed up.

I know some people said that Andrew Garfield has a large butt and they found it distracting in a serious scene in Spiderman (though I haven't seen the film myself). It's not just a breast thing. I would have found it inappropiate if in TOS Kirk has talking about the massacre on Talos V with his shirt off and all oiled up.

Urgh, I have a large bust myself as well.
