0·17 days agoMy complaints are things like “this is the first time anyone in Star Trek (outside of time travel) mentioned inches.”
Why are you blaming Disco for something that TNG did?
Not canon, but

Jurati is in The La St Arship comic as the chief engineer on the Starfleet ship whose mission it is to try and keep the Federation together after the burn in the 31st century. She also made the clone of Kirk we saw at the Daystrom Station in PIC season 3

0·2 months agoI later learned she was also supposed to be Cardassisn, which I totally missed as well.
I found that Cardassian prosthetic they used to be pretty distracting. I’m guessing it must have been one of those full face deals based on how Tawny Newsome’s features were flattened out and broadened, giving her an almost uncanny valley situation. Pretty sure the Cardassian prosthetic in the 90’s shows were more appliques glued in place, and then make-up was applied on top. Also, the fact that Illa wasn’t grey like every other Cardassian we’ve seen really bumped me. It wasn’t until the reveal that she’s also part Trill that the skin tone, and less obvious ridges stopped being annoying. I still don’t think it was a great prosthetic.
Okay, but what if she was also T’Rul gathering info on Starfleet before taking on the Seska role?
