Why? If he's a clone of Picard, altered to be Romulan, he should have dark hair. Darker than "golden", anyway. Young Picard had brown hair, and Romulans almost exclusively have black hair. I mean, I'm sure it <i>could</i> be explained as some sort of anomaly resulting from all the genetic whatsis, but it still seems odd. Personally, if I were in charge, I would have considered having Shinzon be played by one of the actors who has played Picard's younger self in the past: either the kid from "Rascals" (if he's old enough now) or the guy from "Tapestry".<p>Then again, maybe I'm just overrating continuity. :-) <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Mr. Christopher</b> <br /><small>Member # 71</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2001,10,30,13,49,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">November 30, 2001</span> <span class="timeformat-0">01:49 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Say what?

One is that if Shinzon is supposed to have pale human features or pale Romulan features. His sidekick is described as appearing somewhat like a vampire with pointed ears.

To a resident of the year 2401, it'll probably look about the way Shakespeare's plays look to us. Maybe slightly less so. So, really, it doesn't matter what the rules are in four centuries. The book wasn't written in that language.<p>Andrew: That wasn't the point of the thread. I should know; I started it. The point is that, if Shinzon is a clone of Picard, he's not going to look the way we know Picard did at that age. Granted, this isn't a major deal. I mean, look at Braxton. Sometimes, getting the same actor to reprise a role just isn't feasible. I can understand that. But they seem to have pointlessly changed his hair color from brown to blonde. Why? Is it <i>so</i> important to the plot that he have blonde hair, that it makes up for the inconsistency?<p>[ December 02, 2001: Message edited by: TSN ]</p> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
