The show had already established how Tendi has green blood earlier in the series after an injury and it would have been an easy to infer detail compared to humans in the show.

Other animated shows like Steven Universe already show how non-pink blush colors can work in animation.

    not the biggest fan but doesn’t TNG suggest that all (most?) biped races in trek share a common ancestor?

      Anthropology major I think part of the argument was that since all primates share a common ancestor, when does it stop being functional for reproductive purposes? Is Tuvok sterile like a mule?

      Seriously this is why I stopped watching these things with this person. It’s like watching a war movie with a veteran.

      @funkless_eck @medusa TNG Season 6 Episode 20 “The Chase” suggests that a number of species had a common ancestor and that their dna had fragments of code that when brought together activated a holo program explaining this. Several TOS episodes suggest that ancient aliens “seeded” life on many planets.

      We did an episode with Trek science consultant Mohamed Noor and talked about this!
