I would really like to have seen more about the Voth.
Spoilers Alien races who got expanded on recently
- Thread starter The Overlord
- Start date
We see all the Federation members of the time in 2286, with the Federation council. There are no Denobulans or Rigellians present. However we do see Aammazarans, Arcadians, Ariolo, Bzzit Khaht, Caitians, Deltans, Kasheeta, Xelonites, and the unnamed purple skinned aliens. If Denobulans or Rigellians joined the federation they would have to share a planet with one of these species like the Andorians and Aenar.
I had campaigned for a Saurian for almost 2 decades and it finally happened. 
I'd like to see a Gorn on any incarnation of Trek.

That was Bring Your Sibling to Work Day so we only got to see half the Council. Just not enough chairs. The Excelsior was the only ship in the quadrant and couldn’t get there in time with more chairs.
The other half were watching from the cafeteria. Or were supposed to but there was also the Parisses Squares Super Bowl that day (the Denobulan Starclimbers vs. the Rigel Hoverbirds), soooo...
Are you sure about that? Ariolo are apparently cenaturs according to lower decks, so they wouldnt need chairs. And then there's the how would they wear a starfleet uniform dilemma
I'm really curious about the Miradorn (the "twinned" race from DS9's "Vortex").
Has the novelverse done anything significant with them?

My Gods, you’re right! There must be more to this chair conspiracy. I smell a Cartwright in this!
Correct. Both Tolor and his Aunt Osyraa were each given a thin, green latex face that widened the chin in an alien way. There have been several shades of Orion green over the decades. Remember that male Orion pirates in Filmation's TAS actually had pale blue skin and wide chins.

The ones in "Enterprise" were played by wrestlers and had piercings.

I didn't like the Season 1 (and Short Trek) Orions because they appeared to be simply color corrected in post-production, and were probably just normal looking people on set. This may have had something to do with green screen (and, their specific tone of green was off).
I didn't like the Season 3 Orions because they went into the opposite direction, re-adapting the classic green but adding a layer of softening latex to give them an otherworldly look that added several hours to the makeup process for very little gain.
Enterprise Orions were probably the best makeup wise, and is in sync with what was continued with the Kelvin movies and originated with the TOS episodes. Orions are just green people, no need to go further or somehow less than that.

I knew it! I speculated it was either that or badCGI, anyway, I thought it looked *terrible*. It just made them (and the Klingons and the Andorians) look very puffy in a bad way.And dopey, like cartoon villains.
I agree that the Enterprise Orions looked the best, same with the Andorians tbh. Though I did like the idea Season On of Discovery had that there's Orion males who specialize in pleasure and pheromones as well. It's only fair after all, if heterosexuals get their green-skinned space babes, we get green-skinned space hunks
I didn’t like the ENT Orions. The males I couldn’t take seriously, and the females looked like extras from Wicked.
Plus the whole the-women-were-in-charge-the-whole-time just seemed, well, misogynistic. Really? The slaves who were traded, raped, probably beaten and sometimes murdered...they were the ones in charge, huh? This from the same series that gave us de-con chamber gel massages, Vulcan catsuits, nipples, and bare asses, and a strange matriarchal (if not all female) race of evil sphere builders from another dimension here to happily kill us all.

Oh their lore from Enterprise was awful, and was one of those things that just seems to try way to hard to be clever (oh you thought the Orion women were slaves? No! They are in charge!"
But the female Orions looked good, imho, and If they made the male Orions look more like them (like the Orion males in season 1) then it would have been a very good look for them.
I think it could have worked if they had established that there's just two subspecies of Orion (both male and female) one that is lithe and has pheromones and one that is bulky and doesn't (and who's immune to the pheromones).
As for extras form Wicked...I dunno if anybody looked like the Wicked Witch of the West it was

I meant that the coloring was this bubblegum green they used in the musical. They looked fake, not biological. I didn’t have that big a problem with the Season 1 Orions. I was amazed to see them, so they were a treat. The green needed to be a little deeper, but it was not too bad for a first try.Oh their lore from Enterprise was awful, and was one of those things that just seems to try way to hard to be clever (oh you thought the Orion women were slaves?

The spikes on the Einsberg class is reminiscent of the Xindi Reptilian ships
My top three have been the Conspiracy Aliens, Kelvans, and Voth. It’s high time to see some more Tholians, too. The tech limitations aren’t what they used to be
I don’t see any Federation race being hated on because of the Dominion for any longer than it took for people to feel safe again.
I’d like to see what became of the Xindi though.
