I was thinking more of just a little patch job, a quick brush of a lighter makeup or something (I am not makeup-literate, so hopefully that translates). Even if it's still noticeable, at least if it were a bit lighter and closer to skin-tone, it would make it less of a focal point.
Of course, I acknowledge that said "focal point" is apparently not much of an issue when it comes to the straight male audience...

Re: Could Enterprise return with the help of Netflix?
“Jeff originally wanted the Kindle code names to come from Star Trek, since he’s such a Trekkie, but more literate minds prevailed.”
This is a quote by Jason Merkowski about Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon. Seems to me AMAZON PRIME might be the more likely choice to launch a new Trek series, then. God knows Amazon has cash to spend.

Re: Could Enterprise return with the help of Netflix?
Another interesting point from this article in Slate http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/the_ ... ingle.html
I don't agree with a lot of what he says, but that's a good point.
The highest-rated Mad Men episode ever, the Season 5 premiere, drew 3.5 million viewers—a mark that even the failed Enterprise series beat in the majority of its episodes.

I was going to say that Mad Men is a lot cheaper than Enterprise, but when I looked it up that turns out not to be the case. Mad Men is running something like 2.5M per episode and Enterprise had more like a 800K budget per episode.
AMC obviously thinks that Mad Men is the right choice for them. Whether they're expecting a "halo" effect, where all the awards key AMC in the spotlight and hence on basic cable or their value per viewer is higher or they're just willing to lose money for whatever reason, they're continuing to generously fund the show.
I think AMC gets paid not just for actual viewers but also a fee as being part of a cable package, though I'm not sure. If that's the case, it's possible that continuing to be in "basic cable" is a big plus for them and Mad Men viewers are vocal enough that they'll force a cable provider to keep carrying AMC even if the actual viewing rate isn't that high.
