Carol Kane........

It's a bit of a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' situation.

Personally I would've made their version of the Gorn the new alien race and made her the returning Trek alien, but I don't know what they're going to do with her in later seasons.

I love the character, but I'm irritated that they invented yet another entire species just because they wanted to something slightly different. She seems identical to an El-Aurian, and it would've made far more sense to just say that a group of them settled on Earth centuries ago for whatever reason. Fleeing persecution, or just dropped there by alien abduction gone wrong, anything could've worked. Part of why "Star Trek's" alien races tend to be so one-dimensional is that anytime they want to do anything different, they just invent an entire new species, instead of allowing the ones they have to just be diverse.

And Guinan is by far the better character.
 
And Nog doesn't seem very concerned with profit.
As late in the series as S5 he's still territorial about his latinum (In the Cards, he refuses to give latinum to Jake to buy the baseball card at the auction). Though even when he did become a commissioned officer, his fixation with profit simply manifested in a different manner. He began coveting achieving rank in Starfleet, as he realized that in Starfleet an officer's rank represented their status the same way wealth did in Ferengi society. Indeed, Aron Eisenberg once explained in an interview that was the reason why Nog so willingly cooperated with the Valiant crew in that episode, because they gave him a rank of Lt Commander and the position of Chief Engineer, the Starfleet equivalent of great riches.

I'm sure we can just as easily fudge some aspect of Pelia's personality into being a form of "listening." She collects historical artifacts, so she's interested in the story of Humanity. And I'm sure you can save that she "listens" to the ship and it's needs, or something.

She’s a hoarder and not sold on the whole no money socialist utopia thing.
