I never really liked these species swap episodes. I especially didn't care for it when DS9 basically did the exact same episode as the TNG one with Troi being a Romulan.

>when DS9 basically did the exact same episode as the TNG one with Troi being a Romulan.
There’s really not many similarities between those 2 episodes beyond the lead actress in each case being done up in funny makeup.

Of course but they're both predicated on the same plot device of their own self identity being put into question.

The Troi episode isn’t. She’s made aware of the fact in the opening scene.

The DS9 one is more like the kind of shit they used to do to Riker.

Must be a first officer privilege.

I never liked Klingon lore episodes. All that shitty singing.

I think that Micheal could be an interesting character in a different context. As written the character doesn't work with the role given to her.

It always bugged me that it was treated as a surgical thing rather than a makeup thing or projected disguise or anything more interesting.

At least in Orville they did it by the simple expedient of clothing, or using Issac's re-engineered holographic tech robbed from those more advanced red bastards. Where in Enterprise there was at least one time that the aliens of the week literally ripped off the prosthetics that were supposedly something that required surgery to sort out, in one of their many turns on being the idiots who needed a prime directive to tell them to not fuck up in the first place because they had a distinct lack of judgement without someone laying down rules.

Not him, but any bad character could probably be salvaged by writers who are not hacks

ENT regularly showed them using prosthetics though; it's been awhile since I watch ENT, but I'm pretty sure they had an in-universe makeup artist on the ship to help them blend in.
