/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Nowadays it would all be CGI. But back in the day... They'd put actors through hell with full makeup that would take hours to apply. And if you were really lucky, you got to do that for years and years!
Exhibit A: Doug Jones.
It's a crime that Doug Jones has never played The Scarecrow in a live action Batman movie.
And that Christopher Lee never played Alfred.
That reminds me of the rumored casting of Jeff Goldblum as the Scarecrow for what would have been Schumacher's follow-up to Batman and Robin.
IIRC Virginia Hey, Zhaan in Farscape, kept having to wear that blue body paint 6-8 months a year until she got kidney problems from it and quit the show.
Buddy Ebsen was supposed to be The Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz.

What are the odds that someone would play two completely different fish men in Guillermo del Toro movies?
About the same odds of Danny Elfman being the composer for a Tim Burton movie.
Being a composer is a lot less specific than being a fish man, though.
It's more that those two have collaborated at least 5 times: Mimic, Hellboy (1 and 2), Pan's Labyrinth, and The Shape of Water. Basically, no one else was going to be considered for fish boy.
True, true. He's del Toro's Johnny Depp.
I'm not sure about that. I think ST still does it the old fashion way and I've seen it about The Orville in a making off
