Is anyone hoping for alien species that showed up in VOY, DS9, and next generation?

- Start date
^ And? There are fans who want to see them and Ferengi-loving execs who could make that happen for them.
I'd love to see the Tholians featured more as well. They're really exotic, and they could both introduce different kinds of Tholians and use them as really alien counterpoints to more prosaic aliens. I think it would also be interesting, if horrific, to see a Klingon utterly butcher one physically, to show both the Tholians' biological differentness and the the Klingons' legitimate danger, even to aliens that seem unsettling and scary to us.

Well if the VOY producers had anything to do with DIS, they would have Talaxians and Hirogen popping up willy nilly like they did in their show when they shouldn't have done. 
Season Six. Neither the Ferengi nor the Borg should have shown up either, but they couldn't help themselves there either. The Talaxians showed up near the finale, what, thirty years from Talaxian space? The Caretaker, the Voth, others could have. Didn't the Hirogen have crazy-huge ancient warp corridors? I can see some hunter descendants on a nomadic hunt across the galaxy...for the ultimate prey...the mythical tribble.
The USA was also decimated, Picard talks about the Eastern Coalition in
ST TNG First Contact movie, so either the USA had a civil war going on, East Coast v MidWest v West Coast. Or the EC were from Asia. A starship with the majority of the human crew being from Asia or Africa seems more realistic. Caucasians are not the dominate ethnic group on the planet

Are you talking about Voyager or Enterprise? Voyagers producers made Enterprise, a prequel like Discovery, and didn't put any Talaxians or Hirogen in it. That was my the basis for my "comeback of irony." (which I thought was humorously ironic, or ironically humorous)
The Talaxians at the end of Voyager started their travels a generation or so earlier, and the Hirogen were nomads, who also had an ancient trans galactic communications network.
Besides, who doesn't like Hirogen or Talaxians? I understand the aversion to Neelix, but the rest of the Talaxians were great characters. They were all depressed and somber, but usually helpful. There was that one shady, shifty Talaxian that got Neelix in trouble making drug deals, and the Talaxian Freighter captain who helped Tom Paris get his ship back. Then there was that Talaxian in the Vidiian cave of horrors who was the sole surviving crewman from his ship. I quite like them all.
I (imho) don't think so.
Have read a lot of analysis of the various canon facts and conjectured histories of the third world war and it's aftermath on different websites, and I find myself agreeing with the opinions that the US was largely untouched by combat.
Canon facts on the World War III are vague enough that the decimated nations are unknown. I believe the canon figure is 600 million dead and the major Earth cities destroyed. Which ones it does not say and where it does not say. So I won't assume the USA was an untouched haven and the rest of the world was a fiery inferno. Whatever happened the USA and the rest of the world was traumatised enough for their descendants to agree to join or start a United Earth government 100 years later.

I actually like both species, but they'd be totally wrong for ENT, as the Ferengi and Borg were.
"Season Six." was a joke that they would have shown up on Season Six of ENT.
One can write anything that sounds like it makes sense but is not a great idea. The Kazon could be the major baddies on Discovery as a result of the Temporal Cold War too. I'd prefer they not be.
But that can't be the whole story, how can you destroy most of the major cities on Earth and "only" kill six hundred million people?
If the destruction was worldwide it would have taken multiple centuries to recover, instead of decades
It would seem to make sense that the fighting and death was concentrated to a collection of nations in one region of Earth and not equally spread across the entire globe.
I don't know if legal/copyright issues would stop this, but I'd love to see some of the aliens introduced in the Kelvin movies. There were tons of interesting designs, and I'd love to see someone of Keenser's or Jaylah's species. Or even that crewman in Beyond with the claws on the back of her head.
Not wishing to take this thread on a tangent but this whole business of there having been four world wars (including the Eugenics Wars) never really worked for me. How many times did they contradict themselves in TOS? One minute crowing about how they survived 'their primitive nuclear age' (Which admittedly doesn't exclude fighting a nuclear war, just surviving it) or referring to the Yangs & Comms of planet Omega IV in 'Omega Glory': "They fought the war that your ancestors avoided". Then next minute you have Spock's comment in 'Space Seed': "Your world was on the verge of a new dark age...With whole populations being bombed out of existence." Or his comment in 'Bread & Circuses': "The six million who died in your First World War. The eleven million in your Second & the thirty-seven million in your Third.".
The numbers that Spock uses for the 1st and 2nd world wars would seem to have been for military deaths only (although the numbers used were low) and not the totals when you figure in civilians.
So both 37 million and 600 million for the 3rd world wars could be correct.
Another consideration is that Spock wasn't alway correct in his pronouncements.
As I said before an ENT episode with pre-militaristic Cardassians would have been interesting. Perhaps DSC can finally address that.
No ferengi or borg please. Maybe some limited Andorians. Loved them on Enterprise. Maybe Breen. How about betazoids?
Tholians are a great idea!
