What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

Indeed. The only part of Keenser that was CGI was his eyes. The rest of him was an actor in a costume and makeup.

Deep Roy.

 

[DarrenTR1970]

Deep Roy.

Depending upon your sci-fi viewing habits - Mr. Sin in "The Talons of Weng-Chiang", numerous appearances in "Blake's 7", or the Oompa-Loompas in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory".

 

[Farscape One]

Deep Roy.

He did not give a shallow performance.

Or the tiny assassin who fails to kill Clouseau in The Pink Panther Strikes Again.

 

[Farscape One]

Or as the beggar in the season 8 episode of THE X-FILES, "Badlaa".

 

[The Wormhole]

Wasn't he also in Jabba's palace in ROTJ?

Unless you count that entire year that she just left him on the ship without her.

I don't think it was that bad. Wesley was, what, 16 it looks like when Dr. Crusher was reassigned to Starfleet Med. Lots and lots of young people are sent away to boarding school when they're younger than that, and to worse conditions than the Enterprise. It may even be good for them to get out from under the thumbs of their parents for a while.

I mean, the wink was to show I wasn't completely serious. But you still can't count the year she wasn't there as a parenting year.

And in the 18th century British Navy, boys intending to become officers went to sea as young as 12. And they couldn't even communicate home with anyhting as reliable as subspace radio - they could send letters but if they were on the other side of the world the letters would take months or years just like the ships.

I don't know what point you're making. My apologies.
