* It is a fact that as soon as Avery Brooks and Kate Mulgrew were allowed to harden/soften their images (Brooks shaving his dead and Mulgrew letting hers down) they suddenly started giving their most effective performances. In ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'', at approximately the same time Ben Sisko was promoted from Commander to Captain, he shaves his head and grows a goatee. (Actor Avery Brooks was initially forbidden from appearing with a shaved head, which had been a trademark of his character on ''Spenser For Hire''. (Also, about the same time Kira Nerys is promoted from Major to Colonel, her hair goes from short and boyish to a SciFiBobHaircut.) In the second season of ''Series/StarTrekVoyager,'' Captain Janeway ditched her librarian bun. This was less about symbolism and transition, and more about looking less ridiculous.
