You know which one I'm talking about."<br /><br />I thought this was the most plodding, dullest story, and yes *that* scene was absolutely awful. I also don't understand the love for this (I had not idea there was any, not being linked to Trek fandom at all). <br /><br />Yeah, awful makeup, deliberately making the aliens just slightly ugly but obviously still human-ish.

Another example of the actors trying their damnedest but not overcoming the conflux of cliches. But memorably enough for me, I do just plain hate the alien makeup this episode.<br /><br />Keith Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09191397165163257948noreply@blogger.com
