This is hilarious. Also, did they just have half the cast in wigs?

FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io on 14 Jun 00:08 next collapse

Yeah, there are a surprising amount of wigs in play here.

Especially Koenig?

EarMaster@lemmy.world on 14 Jun 01:25 next collapse

This is often done for consistency. Especially (although I have to admit that does not apply to TOS) when also heavy makeup or prosthetics are applied.

In the 90s series too, especially the women.

In Voyager, every main cast member is wigged to some extent, even if just false sideburns. Except apparently the Doctor who grew his own pointy sideburns and was clearly not bewigged on top.

Robert Picardo talked about this on I think a podcast I listened to several years ago, so sadly I can’t link to the source as I don’t recall where it was.

Nobody ever pays me in wigs

As you can see, they never will. You must seize the wig.

Note to others: do not attempt to size the wig irl (unless it is worth the restraining order). :-P

Also, am I the only one here who thought this post might be about…?

Shatner is bald

Honytawk@lemmy.zip on 14 Jun 09:56 collapse

Wait, even back then?

Or does he just like to play dress up?

Magister@lemmy.world on 14 Jun 11:46 collapse

IIRC since the beginning, he always had severe hair loss even when young and always wear a wig

GuerillaGorillas@lemmy.world on 14 Jun 02:31 next collapse

Shatner definitely has them all

What a bunch of hipsters, hand writing their emails

They have amazing handwriting

If you haven’t already BEARD about it…

Is that pun on purpose or is it just the typography and that actually does say “heard?”

tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip on 14 Jun 23:11 collapse

Just artifacting I think. There’s a slight yellow color in the middle of the bottom serifs of the h that is similar to other h’s and which isn’t present in the b’s

z00s@lemmy.world on 15 Jun 01:21 next collapse

Ah, back in the days before email

Can we just dwell on the subject line of “MISSING HAIR GOODS”? 🤣
