Michael Dorn said "nope, no way, not doing that again, wait, how much?" (Wrt DS9)
To be fair, in the near 40 years between the beginning of TNG and Picard S3, makeup tech has improved vastly.
In the 80s we were talking about heavy, hot prosthetics under very bright, hot lights.
Today, those prosthetics are slim, silicone moulded to the person's face, with skin-friendlier glues, much less makeup required to hide it, and better CGI that helps eliminate makeup mistakes.
Neat
Dorn had been begging for his own show for decades
Yeah, Dorn never had a problem with the makeup, he had a problem with Worf getting bodied and overruled every episode.
Like the Sulu series, that ship has unfortunately sailed.
So many good ideas left behind because of the cheap bastards controlling the brand.
Not only will this now accelerate, any fresh IP will get the dreaded production interference with MAGA themes
The name "Enterprise" was from the start a right wing capitulation to avoid a moral panic over space communism and a diverse crew.
