I remember reading the novelization of THE WRATH OF KAHN and the Regula 1 space lab supposedly had a Deltan couple on board (notably the lead male member of the Science crew reporting to Carol Marcus, who actually had dialogue in the film), and the way the writer explained the apparent discrepancy between the Film and the Novel that occasionally, during extended stays among humans, Deltans will wear wigs to ease tensions (along with controlling their pheromonal levels, of course). I guess THIS is one other way to explain why Lt. Isel has "hair"?

Obviously they feel that this particular performer brought something to the role that was more important than the visual appearance, and as an amatuer director myself I respect that. With this team, I have enough confidence based on their past efforts that they'll take a page from Tim Gunn and make it work. As a costumer, I think I would have gone a different route tham the big puffy hair, though. There are ways to evoke the same feeling of nude sensuality that the shaved head in TMP did. I think I would have slicked the hair close to the head and gathered it in the back - maybe even achieving an Elizabethan high forehead with some thetrical wax and foundation. I might also have gone with a smooth, sleek pixie-cut wig. If I had the clout to do so, I might even have asked the writer to write in something about a cultural headcovering - I remember when I was taking chemo people commented how sensual the soft scarves I wore looked. I can't wait to hear what kind of music they come up with for the dance sequence. As #77 and #84 noted, whoever scores these films has a great ear.

I believe most of us out here have nothing but respect and admiration for you, and are a little ashamed to read silly nits from people. Anyone paying attention should know you and all those involved are doing this for free in their spare time. Keep up the good work, and live long and prosper.
