Something I notice comparing pictures, how the makeup is less notable in newest entries of Star Trek.
I have the feeling Deep Space Nine was the peak of makeup effects, like nowdays is a lost art.
What you think?
I don’t know why they didn’t just hire Bajoran actors for the new series
the visa requirements for wormhole travel are insane
And how many Bajorans want to risk an encounter with ICE?
Cardassians counts as ICE?
I’m pretty sure that’s what the “C” stands for…
Warp speed is still very far.
EDIT: But seriously talking, this “why they didn’t just hire alien actors” joke is the equivalent of “I Sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter”.
TIL about I Sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. 🖖🏳️⚧️
It’s worth noting that they had scaled Ro’s makeup back considerably by her final TNG appearance:
I didn’t notice this, good catch.
I loved PIC S3 and definitely seeing Ro Laren again, but yeah, I did notice the makeup was a lot more subtle than in her TNG appearances.
Now I wonder if it was always supposed to be that subtle but had to be “exaggerated” a bit back then to show up on older TVs. Kind of like how the Addams Family set was mostly pink so it appeared correctly on old black and white TV sets.
