Sounds like college life to me.
What's curious here is that the dichotomy you've created is Heavier Actors vs Pretty Leads, and equated heavier to less attractive. Maybe not your intent, but it's how it reads.
Oh absolutely but back in the 90s there'd be so much going on it would be a miracle they were ever able to study.
We need more bears in shows to set the world right.
My college life was very boring.
No I was just responding to Ingrids's post about heavier actors. They are not focusing on the heavier actors but rather the "pretty". I put it in quotes. So not literally pretty. Why doesn't the production have a heavier actor lead? What about the senior bridge officer we saw in the first couple episodes???
There will be at least one comic story set in that time, and I hope to see SA novels as well.
Even in the olden days of over 20 episodes you could probably drop all of the events of a season into less time than it takes to work a 40 hour week. A whole lot of "unseen" events
They're on the way, just slowly.
I want to see some of the aliens that we don't see as much. Bynars. Suliban. A Horta.
It was cool seeing a Brikar in live-action (even if they obviously had to be CGI).
During the scene set at the Bajoran study group, it would have been neat to find out that there are practitioners of Bajoran spiritual beliefs that are not Bajoran. It would have blown expectations to see a Cardassian in the study group (one that grew up on Bajor, where their family resettled many generations ago as refugees after the Dominion revenge-bombed Cardassia), complete with their traditional Bajoran earring.
Some explanation for Khionia and their desert moon that used to be an ocean. Did their homeworlds oceans suffer from excessive depletion, and they used their wormhole transporters to slurp up the oceans of their sister world/matrimony moon to replenish their own oceans (and turn that watery world into a desert?). Or for their transformations. Can they only breathe air for an extended time in 'human' form (and water in fishy form), and that's why, when they travel to their arid moon, they have to remain in human form for the marriage? Or perhaps, centuries ago, their race used genetic resequencing to give themselves the ability to breathe air and colonize the land, but there were racial tensions between those who adapted and those who remained aquatic, and the rulers now traditionally take on air-breather form when they wed, to remind both factions that they are One Khionia, and the king and queen are the king and queen of both air-breathers and aquatics? Just something like that. I feel like there's a ton of backstory missing here, and in a show with only 10 episode seasons, it's gonna need novelizations to fill in some of this stuff...

Ooh, I missed them, if so! I saw a Cheronian and a pair of Orions, which I do hope to see more of!
I just double checked. I had misremembered, its one of the kids at the Academy on Bajor
I was thinking this the other day after watching 'First Contact'. Even if they just showed up as background characters, it would be nice to know the Malcorians got there and followed in the footsteps of Mirasta Yale and moved past the paranoia and isolationism of Krola.
Thinking a little here.
Lura Thok - I am deeply disappointed in Gina Yashere's recent social media posts concerning the BAFTAs (please do not discuss further on here, this is not the place) and I really am more than happy seeing less of her . A complete change of opinion on my part. She was in my top 2 at the start.
Trans - I am happy to have trans characters wherever and whenever. But weirdly I haven't "missed" them in SFA, perhaps because of Discovery, perhaps because there is a lot of development to keep up with, with quite a big main and recurring cast. That being said, we don't know quite yet if anyone hasn't "declared".
What I would like to see in Trek is some species who are non-binary, hermaphroditic, tertiary gendered etc. It's been hinted at and allegorised, but never done fully.
And while there are a lot of wider things I'd like, they have spent 10% of their budget on 2 actors in season 1, as well as those sets. I hoped that with the upfront capital costs dropping away, we could see something a bit wider in a S.3 if there was one. But I suspect we'll get Airwolf Season 4 / Galactica 1980.

If you don't want something discussed, don't bring it up. None of us needed to know that you want to see less of Gina Yashere.
You're conflating biological sex with identity here. Why would an entire species be non-binary?
Why wouldn't an entire species be non-binary? We've had an entire species be androginous before.
