Oh and did you just call for them to use black face to change actor's skin colour? In the 1980s? I think you have gone completely insane and you still can't prove that any of this would have worked on screen or on budget.
Oh, so this
is blackface, huh?
I suppose your blinding rage caused you to skip over the part about non-human skin colours (blue, green, red, purple, etc.) something Star Trek was perfectly capable of handling in the '60s.
if making aliens that don't look human with out CGI is so easy then you do it. Come back in a week with a complete episode's worth of special effects that use no CGI and look realistic with dozens of extras made up so you can't tell they are human under the make up.
As I've already said, a simple thing such as painting an actor's face red and giving him orange contacts would have satisfied me. Now tell me how this would have been so hard to do without CGI.
Oh and you blast creationism and anyone who believes in it and then you latter blast the writers for not believe in it in and doing so in their script.
You have a comprehension problem, don't you? I don't blast the writers for not believing in creationism. What I do blast them for is for portraying evolution in a completely unrealistic fashion (individuals don't evolve and DNA cannot be programmed to evolve a certain way).
they couldn't afford to keep actors in a chair for six days while they made them look 100% non human. Not even films did that. Again if TNG could do this then it should be very easy for you to find proof.
Still putting words in my mouth, I see. I never said the aliens in TNG needed to look "100% non-human". What I did say, however, is that they could have gone the extra mile and at least painted the damn actors' face blue to make them a little less human in appearance.
But I guess a simple coat of face paint became very expensive between the end of TOS and the beginning of TNG.
You seem to be living in a dream world were TNG had an unlimited budget and access to tech that didn't exist yet and you are determined to personally attack and insult every person who worked on the show and everyone who watched it.
And I thought I was the master of hyperbole ...
Perhaps I was too harsh in my assessment of the people who designed the alien makeup for TNG. The point still stands, though, that something as simple as painting an actor's face a certain colour could have been done but rarely ever was.
You are just someone who needs to attack the hard work of others in order to validate your own life when if you were challenged to do that same work you couldn't do nearly as good a job as they did.
I've never been in a production of a film/TV show -- amateur or otherwise -- so I have no reason to knock the efforts of others down to bolster my own ego.
You hate everyone and everything because it makes you feel better about yourself.
Here's a news flash for you -- I hate myself far more than I can hate anyone else (Lil Wayne being an exception, of course).
Oh and H.P Lovecraft wrote books,he didn't make weekly TV episodes. It's much easier to describe something that doesn't look human on paper then it is to make it week after week for dozens of extras. The fact that you think there is no more work in creating a make up effect then there is in typing out a story and it doesn't cost a cent more says all there is to say about you and just how far off the deep end you are.
It's not that I think there's no more work involved in writing words on paper than there is creating makeup. It's that reading about completely alien aliens and worlds has stimulated my imagination to such a degree that little gray men just don't impress me anymore.
So yes in 1987 you could create CGI aliens who didn't look human at all and looked 100% realistic for $1 a piece just like they did on TOS where there were never any human aliens. The producers of TNG choose not to so they could spend all day doing lines of coke off of strippers. Oh and every script was written by an inbred redneck who's mother and sister were the same person and had no idea how to write a script and they were hired because the producers wanted Star Trek to fail. TNG was the worst thing the human race has ever produced and everyone who worked on it should be burned alive for their crimes against the human race and the one hundred percent perfect show that never put a foot wrong known as Stat Trek.
Do you know the number for this far-out universe? I'd love to add it to my list of multiverse worlds.
There I said everything you wanted now I am done with you.
Promises, promises ...
