Re: Star Trek Orions
the simple explaination IMO is that they don't consider what Orions are like in canon because for the new Trek films, Orions are just "green women". They might have above average looks by human standards. That might actually be it. That's all the writers of the new Trek films care about; canon prime universe Orions might not fit in with Starfleet, but in the new films just wave it and go "there are green chicks in Starfleet because people associate green chicks with Star Trek".
Ask yourself why they serve "Cardassian Sunrises" at bars in Iowa while you're at it. That's only in there to name drop "Cardassian". It makes no sense outside of it.
