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.
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.
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

Wow, those white Rutherford, non-Bajoran “Xax,” and Latina-looking Mariner concepts are wild. Also Boimler didn’t change at all, haha.
