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

      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.

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

      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.

      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…?

      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
