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.

Star Trek: Picarchber

It reminds me of DS9 in that sense. SNW season two seemed to alternate between really dark episodes and really light episodes.

There’s a quite long series of novels that follows on from DS9, starting with Avatar books one and two.

Later they intertwine with Next Gen, Voyager, and (briefly) Enterprise continuation novels too.

But that series was wrapped up a couple of years ago after Picard started, because the TV series contradicted the novels, and the publishers wanted to get back into sync.

I really enjoyed following along with the continued adventures of the ds9 crew.

This week’s just felt designed to annoy us, what with getting the ranks wrong and all. Let alone the totally un-Trek message.

It’s an Insurrection reference.
