In fact, make-up designer and supervisor Michael Westmore has admitted that – in common with Daelen of two episodes previous, "Vis à Vis" – the fact that the production team deliberately veered away from doing facial makeup for the Ramurans was because the make-up artists had done so much forehead designs in the past. "The look came down to us saying, 'We've done so many foreheads, why don't we do something interesting with the ears?'" Westmore said.
