What always drove me insane about DIS Orions is they all looked the same; same skin tone and same hair color.
Probably the only reason I could tell Osyraa from other Orions was she was the main woman Orion and usually in contexts where it made sense for the Emerald Chain leader to be there. Pretty much all the other people were barely distinguishable from each other.
Lower Decks did a better job on that front I feel; part of it is definitely just that it’s animated and so they can use character design to distinguish them. However, they also did so many things to distinguish one Orion from another that could be done with makeup; there were so many skin tone and hair color variations. For instance, in “Hear All, Trust Nothing”, Tendi has more of a lime green skin tone while Mesk has more neon green one.
To be fair, Discovery was the first series to roll out Orions as a regularly-occurring species. (I consider Enterprise’s use not so regular.) I think Trek has gotten better at it since then. Take SNW’s Remy for example:
I’m not forgetting that guy’s face any time soon. Granted, I don’t think I would count SNW as having regularly-occurring Orions yet. We’ll see if maybe STA does it better.
You’re forgetting the 4th one.
Wesley Crusher: Jack Crusher was actually replaced by a surgically-altered Cardassian spy whose goal was to incriminate Picard by secretly impregnating his wife with Picard’s DNA, making it seem like they were cheating on him. Wesley is actually Picard’s child, thus why he’s so weird around Wesley.
(We love you anyway, Wes!)
