I'm mid-season five in my rewatching of the entire Star Trek: the Next Generation series. I viewed the show fairly often as a youngster, but there are still a massive number of episodes I haven't seen.
Yes, long before Jean Grey and Professor Xavier were sharing the big screen together, Janssen and Stewart were rocking the small screen on TNG. It's an excellent episode and its premise rests solely on Jansen's ability to play the "perfect" woman. Needless to say, she does a wonderful job. (Apparently the producers thought so too. When the TNG spin-off Deep Space Nine was in development, her character was meant to return as a main cast member. When Janssen turned down the role to work in movies, the character Jadzia Dax was recreated to replace her.) All of which makes me wonder, why is there not more geek love out there for Janssen? I mean check out this resume: Star Trek, X-Men and James Bond!!!! What more could you want from an actress? If that little three-some of franchises doesn't buy her enough Cult Cred, she's also in Woody Allen's Celebrity, Ed Norton and Matt Damon's awesome poker flick Rounders, Vince Vaughn and John Favreau's post-Swingers re-team-up Made, and Robert Rodriguez great horror sci-fi, The Faculty. It's crazy! Why aren't people falling all over themselves to talk about how awesome this actress is? So, because I don't feel like it gets said enough: Famke Janssen, you rock!

The other day I came across one of these never before seen gems. It was called "The Perfect Mate", and I was astonished to see it featured an extremely sexy guest star performance from Famke Janssen!
