Even though Data's make-up was not elaborate it was still very fascinating. Phlox reminds me of Neelix with a hair cut and a skin condition. "Good news wears no clothes." ,Neelix

Just in case I did confuse anyone, in my original post it should read that I like the Suliban makeup but am so-so on Phlox. Of course, for the reasons Red Admiral stated, the makeup on the major characters can't really be all that great. Too many facial protusions and stuff can also limit the actor's ability to convey emotion through facial expressions and body language (although this is not always the case). On minor characters, it's not that real important since they only pop up once and a while and don't go through much character development. Major characters and frequently recurring characters need it.

Actuaully there have been many break throughs in make up that with elaborate make up emotion can still be shown. As with many aspects of Enterprise not alot of effort was shown.

Excuse me? Many aspects? What the hell are you talking about? A lot of effort was put into this show. Some people (not me, others) say that not a lot of effort was put into the ship. Fine by me. But what else that we know of so far has had barely any effort put into it?

Indeed, it seems that more effort has been put into this show than into any other aspect of Trek, ever, including the movies. Or perhaps TMP got a little more effort. At least it had a more prolonged and painful birth.
Just about everything about ENT is new, and somebody coughed up an exceptionally big lump of dough to come up with all the detailed standing sets and expansive one-episode sets. Recurring characters are already being written in, sets exist for things that aren't shown in the earliest episodes, and there is obviously some sort of background research going on all the way back to TOS (something that never really happened after TMP).

I agree. Whether we all agree with the outcome, I don't think anyone can deny that Enterprise is the most pre-planned and certainly the most costly Star Trek attempt yet. What's the budget for "Broken Bow," again?

Yes, I totally agree. Phlox' appearance is disapointing. They should have give him at least an alien colour, like Stingray said. I was definatly expecting something along the lines of TAS' Lt' Arex: a strange barely humanoid creature with a silly voice.

I read that in the Planet of the Apes remake, that despite having quite alot of make up and plastics on there face, the actors were able to express emotion quite well.
Just a little tid bit that is quite unhelpful
