First time I saw this episode, I thought that headgear was part of their face
My 6-year-old brain thought that it was like a tumor or something
TNG's costume department had a lot of...interesting ideas.
The working theory that it was based off Russian tankers padded helmets from WW2
What episode is that?
TNG 4x12 - The Wounded
Marc Alaimo playing a Cardassian besides Dukat!
TNG, "The Wounded." First appearance of the Cardassians. I don't remember if that weird headgear ever made a second appearance.
I'm pretty sure it never showed up again! This was also the only episode they pronounced kanar as kaynar instead of kuhnar. I'd have to look through the episode to be sure, but I think the Cardassian phasers were also a different color than the orange they were in later appearances.
It's always interesting to see how they change things as they see what works. It does make me wonder what the original pronunciation of kanar was though. Did the actor read it wrong, or did they change it!
This gives Kryten vibes.
