Which alien culture do you want explored more in DSC?

[Panem et circenses]

I was just wondering what little used / little known alien race everyone would like to see more of in DSC?

We have explored quite of lot of Vulcan, Klingon, Trill, and Bajoran culture. I haven't gotten to Enterprise yet, but I presume they deal with the Andorians in a little bit of detail?

Personally, I've kind of always wanted to know a little more about the Bolians. I'd love if they had a Bolian main character to deal with their culture in a little more depth. (According to Memory Beta, they had first contact in 2252, three years before DSC's supposed start date).

What would other people choose?

 

[OpenMaw]

The Grazellas.

But they're in their hibernation cycle right now and won't be out for six months.

 

[Nyotarules]

Tellarites, Caitians and why the Denobulans disappeared

 

[BillJ]

Romulans.

 

[Ovation]

The dragons of Berengeria.

 

[mdtauk]

Andorians

 

[Terok Nor]

Edosians, Tholians, Gorn, Caitians, Trek BBS members.

 

[SpaceLama]

All of them.

Romulan / Klingons / Vulcans / Andorians / Cardassians are some of my favourites - but they are all worthy of exploration, and could have a ton of depth.

 

[Seven of Five]

Andorians, Tellarites, Romulans, Cardassians (maybe just one episode to see what they're like pre-TNG), Denobulans and maybe even the Xindi just to see what happened after ENT.

 

[Shalashaska]

North Koreans.

I would argue we know next-to-nothing at all about Bajoran culture. Quite amazing when you consider we had an entire series set within spitting distance of their homeworld, during which their rivals the Cardassians came across as a fully-fleshed out civilization and culture. I still have no idea what Bajorans believed the Prophets were, why the Tears existed, what kind of priorities their culture had, what sort of preferences they had in art or why, how in general they viewed other races (other than Cardassians), what was taboo in their culture or why, etc.

I'm not asking DSC to answer all those, just ranting.

Me, I'd prefer we explore a race we barely know anything about at all--like the Rigellians. For the most part all we ever knew for certain was that they exist and sometimes had dealings with the Romulans. Oh, and their (presumed) home system was pretty densely populated. Or the Caitians maybe, whom we've seen but evidently have much more racial diversity than humans.

The weirdo one-shot background aliens from TMP and STIV. Loved them. More please. Unfortunately, it looks like we're getting more Klingons.

Yes. I agree. Those movies give us a plethora of source material for alien species.

 

[Visitor1982]

Vulcans, Andorians, Tellarites, Rigellians. Founding members of Federation.

 

[Tenacity]

Vulcans, Andorians, Tellarites, Rigellians. Founding members of Federation.

Rigellians?

I want them to explore brand new aliens, new cultures, new civilizations.

No Vulcans, Klingons, Romulan (especially no Romulans, boring), Cardassians (been there, done that), or any other well know species. Species that were barely mentioned and never explored in detail maybe.

They could do first contact missions with a lot of the one's we've seen in later series, even if they weren't in TOS (e.g. the Bolians, Benzites, Betazoids).

I'd like them to concentrate on species big in TOS (Tholians, Tellarites, Tiburonians) and maybe explain away some of those missing in ENT (Denobulans, Suliban). They could also tap into some of the background TOS Movie aliens (dino Saurians, cloning Arcturians, bio-producing Aaamazzarites). The sexually hyper-sophisticated Deltans might be more "doable" today too than in 1979.

But what I'd really like for them to do is show us more more-alien aliens. They could go TAS route (Caitians, Edosians, Nasat, Aurellians), or just really go all out and come up with a dozen different non-humanoids over the course of the series. FX and CG are way more sophisticated and inexpensive today than in the past. Have at it, already. The show is called Discovery.

From Wikipedia:

Spoiler: On Familiar Aliens on the Show

On including previously established characters from the original series, Fuller said that "once we get through this first season and establish our own Star Trek universe with the crew that going to be reimagining a lot of Star Trek elements, we’ll be looking in the second season to open up to more familiar characters and how they can feed into the [show]. First and foremost, I think we really want to convince you and establish the greatness of the [new] characters that are going to be introduced." However, Fuller did express interest in including the character of Amanda Grayson, the mother of Spock, in the series, "but there’s much to be told about that."[2]
