Hicks was terrible in this
I feel so bad for Shatner, who is a brilliant re-actor, trying to work with her. She seriously got through this one on her nipples alone.

I didnt think she was bad at all.....
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rainshare
I thought she was cute and charming in what is, on paper, a rather dull, do-gooder role.

I thought she was fine, although I do think she flubbed a couple of lines in the Pizzaria, which for some reason Nimoy left in.

I thought she was okay. Why didn't you like her?
shareI'm with you on this one. She annoys the crap out of me, and litters the film with appalling dialogue. "See you around the Galaxy!" Not if I can help it.

These were the lines she was given, as per the script. I don't mind Hicks and I thought she did fine with this film.

Never? Really? And there was me for all these years thinking she was some random playing herself and ad-libbing the whole thing. Well I never, you learn something new everyday

Yes really, but pleased you came to an epiphany. ☺ You made it sound like she annoyed the crap out of you because of what she was saying, as though it was Hicks making up the lines. It was the script that annoyed you then and not her performance.

Wouldn't the director had done some retakes if she was that bad? Some poster said Limoy let her "flubs" stay in the film, which is absurd. A "flub" to some viewers may an actor deliberately stuttering or taking a beat, for effect. Streep could take a lesson from Hicks.

I think she might have been giving Kirk the gentle brush-off there.
I thought she was okay in this, especially considering hers was basically a straight-man (pardon the expression!) utilitarian role, and anchor to the Kirk/Spock banter (which was the real star of this movie, over and above Kirk's incorrigible crotch-stirring).
You might very well think that. I couldn't possibly comment. share
She was okay. I didn't really have a problem with her at all. She had spunk.
I like the scene with her and Kirk after they beamed the whales onto the ship.

I always wondered though about her connections back in the 20th Century. She just commented she had nothing to keep her from staying. Surely she would have had family and friends that would have missed her and be hurt by her disappearance. Would she just have just become another missing face on the back of a carton?

I thought she was great, and loved her in Peggy Sue Got Married. Love to see more of her on TV or film.
She was playing it like a feminist.
She didn't sleep with Kirk and she didn't even plan a 2nd date at the end of the movie.

True, but that's a function of the script, not the interpretation of the actor. share
