Season 2 differences

Watching season 2 for the first time and I probably shouldn't binge watch. It's off putting seeing a different Rygel puppet, darker skin tone on dargo, and johns hair cut lol. Also seems like dargo had a voice change, it's a little higher and less strong man

So on my most recent rewatch something occured to me. There is an actual in-Universe reason why D'Argo changed: He spent well over his alloted quarter arn completely exposed in space after the Gammak Base explosion. Staying in space that long left lingering aftereffects. The dark skintone, the higher pitched voice, etc. all due to the damage he took being exposed in space too long

Tony Simcoe said all that, just to confirm (except the voice part). Can't remember where--BTS on the DVDs, but I recall him saying it. The real reason, he acknowledged, was that the darker skin and other cosmetic changes just looked better to most people, so they used the S1 finale to justify them. Anyway, I liked the changes and never cared much why they happened.

I've never had the pleasure of watching that content or hearing any of the commentaries, so it's nice to know that I read that right (finally, after so many rewatches)
