    To be fair, in the near 40 years between the beginning of TNG and Picard S3, makeup tech has improved vastly.

    In the 80s we were talking about heavy, hot prosthetics under very bright, hot lights.

    Today, those prosthetics are slim, silicone moulded to the person's face, with skin-friendlier glues, much less makeup required to hide it, and better CGI that helps eliminate makeup mistakes.

    Like the Sulu series, that ship has unfortunately sailed.

    So many good ideas left behind because of the cheap bastards controlling the brand.
