Sela in the dark Minds Eye/Redemption

I don't have strong feelings about Sela, but the possibility she caused less Tomalak appearances makes me dislike her.

You've got it backwards. Andreas Katsulas would never have played Sela's part, because Mr. Katsulas didn't think Tomalak worked as a character when he was standing next to the protagonists. He thought Tomalak was best as a menacing, larger-than-life figure on the view screen.

"Future Imperfect" was the only exception to that, and you'll note it was his last appearance in the show until AGT.
 
Sela needed to tap into her Inner Seska a little more, I think, to be interesting. Denise is good at being an Ice Queen, but there's never any real sense of menace about her.
 
She's also a fairly major part of the plotline in Star Trek Online, which is set 30 years after the destruction of Romulus and the disappearance of Spock and Nero into the Abhramsverse (the game is still set in the Prime timeline)

Although it's only STO's version of the Prime timeline, because Sela in STO has a completely different situation than the Sela from the novelverse (STO and the novels are incompatible, continuity-wise).
