Most Beloved Gross, Disgusting Trek Aliens!

I detested the people that came to Deep Space Nine and the super flaky skin.
It makes me almost ill seeing dandruff.
I'm such a wuss.
Anyway, the flaky skin and that they were flaky too in that they were stupidly insistent about wanting to stay on Bajor.
 
The Ba'ul are the most over-the-top goth aliens ever. Black oil. Red eyes. Dreadlocks. Movements right out of a possessed little girl in a scary movie.

I found that episode rather dull. I thought those aliens should have been more militant and aggressive about wanting to settle Bajor.

I thought the scenes with the universal translator having problems was pretty funny in the episode. Like when Kira brings that female leader the dress that she was babbling about in her alien language and once they understand each other, the woman says, "Sorry, I meant to say that's the ugliest dress I've ever seen! It's just awful." Kira takes it in stride and laughs, "Yes, this thing is pretty hideous isn't it?"
 
I just remembered another in TNG "Genesis" - the...the whatever-it-was-abomination that Worf devolved into while trying to break into sickbay. That howling thing looked like something the late H.R. Giger would have found interesting. Heinous....in a good way.
 
Oh, and I always looked away at the diseased teenager that attacks the landing party in Miri, screaming about their tricycle.
That guy used to totally freak me out when I was a kid.

I couldn't decide if that was its true appearance or something intended to scare the Kelpians.
 
The producers miscalculated by making them gross to look at. They wanted to symbolize people’s discomfort to foreigners and went overboard in a screen unfriendly way.

I don’t think the story about wanting to stay on Bajor was that bad.
