What proof do you have that making aliens that didn't look at all human was a choice for TNG. They had to use the makeup people they had and they didn't have an unlimited budget as you admit.

In the end, though, when you get right down to it, I could have lived with the lame rubber forehead aliens if the writers had at least come up with a better explanation for their existence other than the stupid pseudoscientific "ancient rubber forehead aliens seeded the galaxy with DNA designed to evolve into more rubber forehead aliens" crap.

 Why need an explanation at all? It is what it is.

 Yeah B5 never had to explain why all of their aliens were humans with masks pulled over their heads and Farscape never had to explain why all of their aliens were puppets or people who had escaped from a bondage club,why does TNG have to explain anything and TOS and DS9 had those same aliens so why do they get a pass.

Okay now I am completely done with this because it is insane.
