IDW TNG/DS9 crossover in 2019?

[Kertrats47]

For the lead actor in a TV series not to have input into how they look would be rather odd. They're the star of your show -- you want them to be comfortable. (We've been hearing a lot recently about how Jodie Whittaker was involved in picking out her costume for Doctor Who, picking something that would be comfortable and practical to wear for several years as well as conveying the image and profile she was looking for.)

Fair enough, she actually popped into my head while I was thinking about this, too. Plus the fact that she was even asked what her favourite biscuit is for the newly-added biscuit dispenser on her TARDIS!

Look above.

Yes, I did, but you hadn't told ryan123450 which issue it was in.

Actually I meant which comic was Bakula’s likeness the basis for an original character?

I haven't got my stuff out of storage since reading about the pre-ENT homage to Scott Bakula in an interview years after the fact. I think it was an early DS9 comic? The artist was excited that he had drawn Bakula in a Trek comic long before ENT came along.

Ok cool. Maybe I’ll stumble upon it in my comic reading someday.

Are you sure it was Bakula? There is a captain in the first storyline of Malibu's DS9 comic who's modeled on musician/TV host John Tesh (who also played a holographic Klingon in a TNG episode, IIRC), but I don't remember a character modeled on Bakula.

Weird. If he doesn't like having a high forehead, why doesn't he just do what I used to do and wear bangs?

Come to think of it, Archer/Bakula did change his haircut for season 3 and 4 to be shorter and combed to the front. Not quite bangs, but still hairline-extending. (The Waypoint comic used his season 1/2 haircut)

Another Doctor Who example that comes to mind is the story about Matt Smith's first costume test, which was based off Steven Moffat's initial ideas, and was described as looking a bit like Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean. Apparently, Smith just couldn't hide how miserable he felt in the outfit, so they let him take the lead and that's how they ended up with the old professor look.

Yes, I do remember the John Tesh cameo, but no, this was an artist boasting in an interview about using Bakula's image, but I never had the chance to check my back issues before they went into storage.

Is your DVD of all the comics in storage too? I never read actual, dead-tree comic books anymore. It’s far too convenient to read them on my iPad in an application called Comic Flow. I have hundreds (thousands?) of comics at my fingertips.

I’ll look through some of the Malibu DS9 issues and see what I can find.

Probably. Sigh. I have two copies of that and haven't seen either since all my Trek books and CDs had to be boxed up in a hurry.

Oh my! That’s terrible!
