They Deserved More Screen Time

The surviving Equinox crew. Tom Riker. The cute ensign who flirted with Will Riker in the TNG pilot episode.

This! Oh well. An opportunity lost...

Rain Robinson, as played by Sarah Silverman.

Apparently, there was talk of adding her to the Voyager crew as a regular. That would have been so great . . ..

(I always thought she had more chemistry with Paris in two episodes than B'Elanna did in the entire series.)

Very true.

^But could they maintain that chemistry for ther remainder of the show?

Possibly if the writting was there.

Ah good. Another fan.

I liked the way you made her Roberta Lincoln's assistant at the end of book two of Eugenics Wars. A story of a Lincoln and Robinson adventure would be interesting.

I wish Khan had been a recurring villain.

More of Sarek (or Romulan Commander) in TOS would have been good.

Wasn't there talk of making Kor a recurring? I would have liked that.

Charlene Masters too.

Ro Laren for sure.
Robin Lefler
Kevin Riley
The original Voyager crew (killing or seriously injuring them over a few episodes would have been more fun)
Chell and the other Maquis noobs.
Vash
Saavik
Kes - they should have kept her around until after Year of Hell to close the temporal loop in a more sensible way.
Ann Mulhall - she was a pretty cool proper female scientist
and of course Yeoman Rand.

When I look at the list I do think it shows that Trek's history of developing its female characters fully has been very patchy. Some of the actresses simply weren't avaialable though.

Come to think of it, it would have been nice to have seen Amanda a lot more as well as Sarek. She's just the sweetest thing!

I agree on Dr. M'Benga. I know that in the 60's, they really wanted to focus on the Big Three. But it would have been interesting to see him consulted more.
