We got an Orion girl - and I hope Gaila comes back (Huzzah!) - and the Vulcans and Romulans, of course. Plus there was mention of the Klingons.
But where were the Andorians? Where were the Tellarites? Howzabout a Medusan tucked away in a box somewhere?
I think most annoying was Keenser, Scotty's little buddy on Delta Vega (seen above). Online, "Miroslav" has suggested that he's a Jem'Hadar midget. Not an idea I like since it brings Gamma Quadrant into the "Trek" timeline way too soon. (The Jem'Hadar were introduced in 'Deep Space Nine', my favorite 'Trek' series, by the way.)

But if I had my space druthers, I'd have opted to design his look to be that of a midget Tellarite. Where would the harm be in that, save to the ego of the make-up effects designer who would probably make his mark by going boldly where none had gone before. (As far as action figure potential goes, the Powers That Be would have made money on him whether he looked like he does or was seen as a Tellarite.)

BCnU!
