One thing Face Off is missing.

[daytonward]

So, the new Syfy series Face Off premiered tonight. In fact, it's on as I type this. For those who don't know, the show is essentially a competition, pitting a dozen special effects make-up artists against each other in a series of appropriate reality-show challenges and other exercises designed to test their creativity and improvisational skills

I approve this plan.

Now, if we can just get Syfy to listen....

Between this and MEGA LIZARD DEATH SQUADS, I really think Syfy is missing out on everything I bring to the table.

First off- holy crap that makeup is win.

I've never watched Star Trek, but I must say that I approve of your plan. *thumbs up*

A lot of old-school Trek effects/make-ups/etc. doesn't hold up by today's standards, but I always thought they did a bang-up job here.

From the few glimpses I've seen of Star Trek, I always thought they did a really good job. Sure, a lot of stuff today is more detailed and in-depth, but at the same time you can never really forget the classics or how it began. *shrugs*

I'm going to have to agree with you. *nods*

What others might see as "cheesy," I've always regarded as "charming." Given the limitations of time, budget, and FX and make-up technology of the day, what the original Star Trek was able to accomplish - by and large - remains impressive. It's still my favorite of the shows...but I'm weird that way. ;)
