/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

So with this and Sir Patrick Stewart's story, how many other hair stories are happening behind the scenes?
Frakes has his stories about the beard and Roddenberry being there to 'sculpt' it.
Dorne has a story about LeVar fucking with him on the set of DS9 when LeVar was directing. Dorne said he was sure LeVars hair grew very quickly so fun was had.
Janeways whole hair debacle
Holy freakin' moley that's a lot of hair stories! I just looked these up and feel like I'm about to go down the rabbit hole.
Enjoy buddy <3
It just keeps going! I'm over here reading about Deanna Troi and Marina Sirtis wig stories, the Star Trek documentary series The Center Seat going over the possible importance of Bones McCoy's haircut, and more.
I had to drag myself out of the rabbit hole after getting to the point of comparing the concept art designs for the Lower Decks characters with their changed hairstyles in the final character designs.
Wow, those white Rutherford, non-Bajoran "Xax," and Latina-looking Mariner concepts are wild. Also Boimler didn't change at all, haha.
I was thinking the same things! I like how the adjustments to the final designs were made to more closely match the actors after casting was done, with Boimler already being Jack Quaid-ish enough to not really need much change haha. I'm curious if they anticipated the characters appearing in live action like in Strange New Worlds from the start and wanted to make sure they resembled the actors enough to pull it off.
