A Couple of Good Points in Her Favor...

We mean her ears! Her pointy Vulcan ears, to be specific. Relative newcomer Jolene Blalock provides the Vulcan va-va-voom on UPN's new Star Trek prequel, Enterprise (along with Quantum Leaper Scott Bakula).
You might remember this simmering Spockette as Medea in last year's Jason and the Argonauts miniseries. But you wouldn't recognize her in Maxim's center spread, trapped in a glass-block room, wearing a fuzzy white bikini and high-heel go-go boots. Phaser set on stunner? Oh, heck yeah. On the show, her sexuality is more subdued, despite a slinky catsuit uniform that is, hmmm, highly illogical (unless you're a programmer trying to drive up the ratings). "They didn't even give my uniform pockets," she smirks. "I have a holster for my gun, but that's it." On the show, she's apt to spew technobabble like, "The residue suggests oxidation and thermal shock effects, Captain. It could be the result of a high-yield particle impact." (Is that what the residue suggests? Somebody better call Kenneth Star.) All that geek-speak is in stark contrast to Jolene's background as a SoCal surfer girl and former high school burnout who once got busted by the cops with friends while cutting class. "I was so stoned that when they started taking names, I said mine was April June. It didn't even dawn on me that was just two months put together." Dude?. She's coping with the weirdness of being a Trekkie fantasy after the departure of Voyager's Seven of Nine. (One fan approached her with the line: "We only want the best for you. Don't fear us. We are a kind people.") But she's keeping it all in perspective. "It's diamonds in your pocket one week, macaroni and cheese the next." No word on what to do if you've got no pockets at all. Maybe just prance around half naked.
