VOY didn't have enough recurrin' characters to justify a promotion to openin' credits.

- Ayala is the only recurring character that I can think of that could have been made into a regular character. I wish they would have made him a regular character, they could have at least had an episode about him instead of the ensign nobody's they featured in a few episodes.

A significant part of why Avery Brooks agreed to do the show was the father-son relationship. So if they'd dropped or demoted Cirroc from the cast, Avery likely would have left too. No joke. Those two are as close in real life as on screen. Avery's son is also Cirroc's best friend.

- I knew they were close, though I did not know that the father/son relationship was why Brooks did the show. I had read that at conventions Lofton had said that he went on family vacations with Brooks.

I would like to have seen Garak promoted to a regular member instead of Jake or Nog.
