Positively Trek 357: I Wanna See a Nausicaan Hair Band

Star Trek’s Under-Used Alien Species

Over the 60 years of Star Trek’s history, we’ve become familiar with many non-human species: Klingons, Vulcans, Bajorans, Borg, Romulans, Talaxians, and many, many more. But what about those species who only show up once or twice?

In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Barry and Dan discuss a few of the lesser-utilized species from Star Trek, and talk about what they can tell us about what Star Trek is ultimately about: the exploration of the Human Adventure.
