Who Were The Bajorans?

Or maybe after seven lifetimes of seeing everything in the galaxy, she could have just been world-weary and want to hang around her quarters and Netflix (or whatever they have in the 24th century) and chill.

I've read some people expressing their disinterest in seeing Dax episodes before she met Worf because the 'romance' episodes are uninteresting due to the fact that they know she ends up with Worf.
My interpretation is slightly different: the writers realized that Farrell could play a party girl pretty well, and a duty-bound bookworm not at all well.
Is it the one with the transparent skull?
They're Firefly fans?
Yes it is.
But really to see his brain wouldn't he need transparent skin too?
And would his skin all be transparent or just on his head?
It would be weird dating a guy that looks like those anatomy models from science class.
It still hurts

I am just wondering what kind of natural selection favors the survival of specimens with visible brains...
The same that only partially protects major organs with bone?
You can't put bone everywhere or you end up with a box!
Sorry, but evolution is only a means of explaining the form of organisms as the change with circumstances, not one that shows organisms perfecting themselves.
I never said the latter, did I? Don't resort to strawmen to make your case.
Still, as I said, you can't have a whole body covered in bones or it won't be able to survive. A turtle, for example, may seem like a fortress yet it becomes defenseless when it's put on its back.
I don't know. We could have had ribs covering our abdomens, and it would be possible in terms of evolution even if it led to detriments in other areas. You keep telling me it wouldn't happen. It sounds like that strawman has come to life.
BTW, there are animals that have transparent elements on the outer bodies. Indeed, our corneas are transparent.
I actually preferred her understated, wise, and mysterious as she was in the first season. Farrell wasn’t the best dramatic actress, but she pulled off serenity well enough. I enjoyed the occasional flash of eccentric wild spirit, but she became too prosaic and “single-lifetime” after a while.
I guess it's only an accident that this transparency is essential to fulfill a function...
For all we know the Gallamite are an aquatic species or are from a world with little sunlight so didn't need their epidermis to protect from UV.
In that case, they'd be blind or extremely myopic as is the case on earth for all species living deep in the sea, in caves or in any place where there is very little to no sunlight.
I always thought that the pilot made the Bajorans out kinda like the Yugoslavians. A group that had been united in their resistance to brutal ologarchian oppression, but degenerated into old nationalist conflicts as soon as they were free. Kira even alludes to this, wishing Opaka would say something to unify them. It’s only Sisko’s discovery of the Celestial Temple that actually does this. That story would have been timely when the show first went on, as Yogoslavia was breaking up into bloddy wars between Serbs, Croats and Bosnians, revisiting the conflicts they had with each other before Communism united the region for 70 years.
