Yellow_Dragon 0 Posted November 3, 2003 On Star Trek:The Next Generation and Star Trek:DS9 we see two obviously different humanoid species referred to as Talarians.This begs the question,is the Talarian homeworld populated by two sentient races...or did the producers of Star Trek:DS9 make a mistake by putting the wrong make-up effects on the Talarian who was written into the episode "Improbable Cause"?That Talarian looks somewhat reptilian,while the Talarian warrior from the TNG episode "Suddenly Human" looks almost human in appearance.What gives?

B4_ 0 Posted November 7, 2003 I don't have a clue as to why there was the difference. But,I'll vote for the two sentient species from the same world theory,although it seems more likely the writers just overlooked the TNG appearance of Talarians,when they were producing the DS9 episode.

Sirius 0 Posted November 7, 2003 Lazy writing (a rarity on Deep Space Nine),seems to be to blame. Just pretend that Endar looked like the chap on DS9.That works for me and Klingon foreheads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
