So... Shatner? XDI knew something was weird about the Orion makeup and it being a full mask explains why there is something unnatural about them like the facial movements are so close to normal but the back of my brain is telling me something is wrong.
And the male one reminds me of this guy the way he moves
I didn't like that in ENT they looked like bald-headed, muscle-bound brutes. I prefer the DSC route. Not that you can't have Orions with markings and jewelry, but not all of them.
Yeah, ENT felt very orc-ish and it wasn't a good feel.
The Enterprise Orion males were overly muscled to give them that same physical appeal to female viewers that female Orions have to male viewers.
I dont see that becoming any more than good friends. Most likely we wont get a romantic storyline for either of them and given the limited time the show has with the crew I'll be glad if its not wasted on another sexual relationship
I think I remember Michael Dorn feeling quite a bit of schadenfreude during the filming of Apocalypse Rising when the actors playing his human crewmates had to wear full Klingon make-up and complained about it all the time. And conversely, the late René Auberjonois actually felt relieved because the Klingon make-up was far less extensive than his bulky Changeling prosthetics. I don't know about being easier on the skin of the actors, because I don't know whether Terry Farrell reacted badly to the prosthetics or to the facepaint that led to Jadzia being left out of the mission despite being the second resident Klingon expert after Worf.
Just Susan Oliver and Yvonne Craig- and you FORGOT!?!Oh, right, thank you. I had forgotten that part.
In any case, my eyes must need adjusting since the Orions look fine to me...
It's possible it doesn't go anywhere, but I still feel they're doing it on purpose.
I’m surprised we haven’t seen ANY androids yet- that we know of. Just holos.
Androids are so Third Millennium.
Precisely. I wonder if it was a case of “what can we do to soak up this massive budget we have!”
On the subject of Discovery's makeup, TOS even did better with Vina's disfigured look (and it's probably not easy to make Susan Oliver look bad). Discovery's disfigured Vina is still extremely attractive, speaking for myself as a male viewer, and completely unbelievable as someone who feels she has no choice but to remain on Talos IV (even TOS Vina barely got away with that in light of futuristic medical technology).
It just now occurred to me... They all look like... green Odo’s!The Enterprise Orion males were overly muscled to give them that same physical appeal to female viewers that female Orions have to male viewers.
With Discovery's prosthetic head thing, they all look like walking plastic action figures, are basically the textbook definition of "uncanny valley" and I'd be surprised if Discovery Orions, even using pheromones, can elicit any reaction other than fleeing in terror.
Why would I remember?
Then be surprised. I like them better.The Enterprise Orion males were overly muscled to give them that same physical appeal to female viewers that female Orions have to male viewers.

Indeed, yes.
Vance: How sad that a former member of Starfleet like Osyraa could have fallen so far.
