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.
Especially Koenig?
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.
Nobody ever pays me in wigs
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…?
(from SNL)
Shatner definitely has them all
This is incredible
I’ve had it up to here with these missing wigs!
Shatner is bald
Wait, even back then?
Or does he just like to play dress up?
IIRC since the beginning, he always had severe hair loss even when young and always wear a wig
What a bunch of hipsters, hand writing their emails
They have amazing handwriting
Ah, back in the days before email

Can we just dwell on the subject line of “MISSING HAIR GOODS”? 🤣
If you haven’t already BEARD about it…
Is that pun on purpose or is it just the typography and that actually does say “heard?”
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
