What Star Trek minor character do you wish the show had covered more?

[pete6032]

Can be from any of the seasons.

I would have liked to know more about Guinan on The Next Generation. Seems like a missed opportunity for a rich backstory about her species.

 

[OccamsToothbrush]

I think they intentionally kept Guinan ambiguous for those Deus ex Machina moments when they needed her to know something or someone without bothering to explain why.

Writers meeting: "Wait, Wait, how is the Enterprise going to get this vital information in the nick of time?" "Guinan just knows it". "Deal, let's go for lunch."

I thought the character with the most potential for a really interesting backstory was Garak the tailor from DS9. Every glimpse into his past was good.

 

[Stopsignhank]

The guy in the red shirt. He never made it to the end of the episode.

 

[ImpulsE69]

What's her face that noodied up and they killed her off early in the show, then brought her back as another character.

EDIT: Tasha Yar (Denise Crosby)

 

[dasherHampton]

Spock's parents.

They may have been covered somewhere in more detail but not in anything I've ever seen.

How does a Vulcan get nasty with a human?

 

[JEDIYoda]

I wish they would have explained how Natashia Fatale and Boris Badenov met....

Loved Garak, he was a very well written character. Wish there was more about him too.

 

[IronWing]

Wesley Crusher, what happens to him?

 

[[DHT]Osiris]

Wesley Crusher, what happens to him?

He ascended as some extradimensional godhood character towards the end of TNG. Probably took his stupid bunchy sweater with him.

 

[nakedfrog]

Spock's parents.

They may have been covered somewhere in more detail but not in anything I've ever seen.

How does a Vulcan get nasty with a human?

Probably with his penis.

 

[dasherHampton]

Vulcans have penises? I honestly don't know.

 

[Ichinisan]

They don't have enough episodes where a person on the ship acquires god-like power.

/s

 

[IronWing]

Vulcans have penises? I honestly don't know.

Vulcans mind meld, humans do the hokey pokey. Don't tell the Vulcans who got the better end of the stick.

 

[ctbaars]

The little girl that drops the doll when the enterprise saucer section was separating.

The little girl that drops the doll when the enterprise saucer section was separating.

The doll falls into an eddie in the time space continuum, comes to life as a Raggedy Anne doll, goes back in time, and Kirk has sex with it.

I believe you but I thought it was Molly on the Big Comfy Couch. Kirk definitely had sex.

 

[Luna1968]

What's her face that noodied up and they killed her off early in the show, then brought her back as another character.

EDIT: Tasha Yar (Denise Crosby)

I cant stand any stories about Tasha Yar. the writes had Picard fawn over her way too much.

 

[Luna1968]

Wesley Crusher, what happens to him?

guest appearances on The Big Bang Theory.

 

[iCyborg]

Can be from any of the seasons.

I would have liked to know more about Guinan on The Next Generation. Seems like a missed opportunity for a rich backstory about her species.

There was an episode where Data went back in time to 19th century US and ran into Guinan who was living there among humans. I was always thought it would've been funny if they made it 20th century with Guinan living on Earth masquerading as an actress Whoopi Goldberg

 

[thebestMAX]

Spock's parents.


How does a Vulcan get nasty with a human?

Very carefully unless it Pon Farr time, then all bets are off.

 

[OccamsToothbrush]

It could be more of a rape-y thing than the Vulcans like to admit. Maybe they use that neck nerve pinch thing like Bill Cosby uses roofies.

 

[thebestMAX]

Probably still more gentle than the Klingons.

 

[Ken g6]

Spock's parents.

Enterprise covered this in some detail. Maybe more than you want; maybe less.

Mainly season 3 and the end of season 4. It streams on Prime Video if you'd like to watch. (But remember it was on broadcast TV.)

 

[ImpulsE69]

This dropped. I was kind of ...hmm...wait and see...until this trailer. I'm sold. Nostalgia engaged. There's a 'no they didn't moment in there.

PS: This will be streamed both on Amazon Prime and CBS All Access!
