Maybe we're legitimately not understanding each other on this point. I'm good letting it go.
Brian Brophy didn’t return?

I understand you fine. I just don't care about Maddox being recast. I'm not sure what is hard to understand about that.
Now we're just talking past each other.
For me, it's a matter of how important is the actor chosen to fill the role, as presented in the show.
Since the character of Maddox so far, has only had an important backstory to the tale being told and was dead within twenty or so minutes of appearing, the person who was hired isn't really all that important.

I agree. I would understand people being upset if say Hugh had been recast. His impact on TNG and the meaning behind his appearance resonated a lot more. At the same time where do people draw the line on recastings? If STP features the Bringloidi next season, would people be shitty if the woman Riker was constantly trying to hit on was recast?
If the salamander babies from "Threshold(VOY)" ever reappear they'd better not be recast. That's all I'm gonna say.
My rage will be all-consuming and destroy everyone here.

Sorry,they're using those frog things Baby Yoda eats as the salamander babies. They're really hot right now.

Same goes for the Conspiracy parasites on screen. Unless they fight against Seven - no chance for any parasites.
My tongue just fell out.
The recasting didn't bother me one bit. Besides it's been 25 years, people's appearence can change quite a bit.
I talked to him about it some 2-3 weeks ago
What were Frakes's, Sirtis's, Spiner's, and Del Arco's biggest roles in the last 10 years?
Irrelevant. Frakes, Sirtis and Spiner played their respective parts in over 170 hours of television and four films. I honestly would have cared if they’d recast Hugh as little as I did Maddox.
Are you serious? This isn't even remotely the same considering Frakes, Sirtis and Spiner played there roles in 170 episodes and 4 movies. Frakes has been directing films and television, Sirtis and Spiner have both had regular recurring and guest spot on tv series and engaged in voice acting. Del Arco had recurring roles on the Closer and Major Crimes and Nip/Tuck. They haven't been reduced to roles like 'extra' in the waterboy and 'crime scene photographer' in NCIS.
He is a distinguished arts, research and theatre professional - stop dissing him or saying he's not up to task. He's definitely still in the acting world - in fact, doing exactly what Avery Brooks did throughout DS9, namely teach and oversee drama....
I can't imagine he doesn't still act and oversee acting (honestly not too different from Frakes who doesn't "act" in the way we know anymore but is in the show). Though it would have only been a few days for Brophy, and Caltech would probably encourage a cameo in the show.
But I imagine they did reach out to him (like they did del Arco) and he probably said no; I think it would have been sad had they not done so.
Here's why nobody cares:I'm noticing that nobody is even remotely bothered in the same way about Icheb's recasting, and I'm quite sure that Manu Intiraymi had more screen time in his character than Brophy...

Not everyone knows about that though. It just seems that some like to just have something to be offended over and this appears to be the thing in fandom this week.
I'm sure there were articles in the "trades" about this show being in the works. If Brophy had been at all interested in returning to Trek he would have had his agent (does he still have one?) looking into it. The fact that he was unaware of the character being used, according to a report on this BBS, tells me that it was not at all on his radar.
But hey, I've been wrong before.
