Top: Captain Picard and Kamala in The Perfect Mate

Bottom: Professor X and Jean Grey in X-Men: The Last Stand

Had no idea Patrick Stewart and Famke Janssen had collaborated prior to X-Men.

    As if a bunch of us geeks wouldn’t notice.

    Edit: the test shot in question

      To be fair, there wasn’t an Internet back in the day, nor were there high-fidelity DVDs and/or streaming that people would rewatch thousands of times.

        Just people frantically scribbling notes of every detail they notice so they can tell all their friends about it at the next OFFICIAL star trek club meeting (USS Odyssey REPRESENT!), and recording it on two separate vcrs, one for viewing and one for the collection.

        Not that I would know any of that from personal experience or anything. I’ve heard things, okay?

        True. The pedantry was always there, though, laying in wait. Biding its time to pounce on any inconsistency or contradiction. As is tradition.

      I guess you could make the argument that it adds a bit of diversity to the alien looks for the cast. Keeping the “The Host” look would have one of the female cast members playing an alien with a wrinkly nose and the other female cast member playing an alien with a wrinkly forehead.

        It’s noses and foreheads all the way down. I’m sure the spots still took time to apply, but were infinitely more comfortable by comparison.
