throughout the 7 seasons. I never noticed over grown neck hair or longer sideburns, which would have destroyed the illusion of his character of being a hologram. Now I'm wondering, maybe you folks have seen something I missed?
The production team did a amazing job of keeping picardos hair and sideburns exactly the same
- Thread starter Vaughn Falstaff
- Start date
It's probably consistent throughout the series, but later seasons he was dabbling with the human condition. If there were any changes in his appearance it could've been resolved because he was experimenting on his individuality.
His hair does change, as Picardo got mildly balder as the years went on. Luckily (for the show, not for him) he was almost ax maximum baldness levels when the show started, so there wasn't much to maintain.
But it doesn't matter anyway. A hologram with subtly changing hair would be a snap.

They had a precise guide for Starfleet sideburns:

Let's see what they do when Picardo returns in PIC season 2. If he's Doc Zimmerman it's fine, but if he's the EMH, there will be challenges.
"Doc, how come you look older?"
"Aging subroutine 47-Delta."
"Ok."
"Aging subroutine 47-Delta."
"Ok."
So why was "Joe" not using that in Endgame?

Yeah, I'm one of those crazy fans that has spent years of my life watching and loving the show so all that has come before (the dreaded "C" word") sticks in my head
He chose to look retro for the reunionSo why was "Joe" not using that in Endgame?
make up, hair dye and and light cgi de-ageing would be enough
Having seen Data in season 1, I question their team's ability to pull it off.
I agree... it helped that Mr. Picardo never seemed to age that much.
It was funny to see him with a full head of hair in "Before and After". I wonder if it was the result of rebooting him after the year of hell (their version), or if he just decided to change his look, the way he picked out a name.
