Some obvious examples
- the holodeck gets a fatal software error and people are stuck in a classic novel
- a shuttle breaks down and crashes into a habitable planet
- the federation loses a space battle, but thankfully there’s some space jungle (nebula, asteroid field, etc) to hide out in, thankfully within sub light distances
im gonna let you in on a little secret: most of those aliens were actually played by human beings with make-up on. very few sci-fi shows actually cast real aliens, and even then human beauty standards often get in the way of things
any pointers as to which use the real thing?
