I definitely like the idea, but I also like the Trill having some kind of distinguishing feature of their own.
Maybe all Trill have their spots but joined Trill could inherit some other feature from the symbiont or perhaps different stripe/spot patterns? Those "extra" spots could still develop more and more over time like you described; that's a cool idea (even though it would make lying about your age difficult ๐)
If that were the case, then it would be cool to see Adira develop just that set of stripes after they joined with Tal.
Return their original forehead prosthetics!
For the baseline Trill or the joined ones? If the latter, I'd really hate to put Adira through that. They're finally healing and part of a family unit; would break my heart to have them go through a "what's wrong with my forehead?!" arc in the final season. lol
Edit: Thanks for the picture. I completely forgot Jadzia had that in the early episodes.
She never did - they canned it in favour of the shots after screen/make-up testing.
Edit: Bonus, kind-of-gross context!
Ah, gotcha. I knew I'd seen it before (probably on Memory Alpha), but I guess I was mis-remembering it as some additional Early Installment Weirdness like Major Kira's hair from the first episode.
Damn.
be careful with those links I just lost 4 hours of my day by clicking that.
It's basically the same idea. Terry Farrell is now part of the Delta Flyers podcast and (without going back to find the specific episode to directly quote) essentially said she tested with the prosthetic, and someone else said We hired a model, why are you covering her up?
