I would have liked to have seen more Ro. I liked her because he was so different to the standard TNG characters, and I really liked the spark she had with Riker.

What reason could be given for writing her in more permanently though?
It's called drama.
“The essence of plot structure is: struggle—therefore, conflict—therefore, climax. A struggle implies two opposing forces in conflict, and it implies a climax. The climax is the central point of the story, where the conflict is resolved.” Ayn Rand

What reason could be given for writing her in more permanently though? She wouldn't be satisfied as a mere wife or mistress (well, not for long), she couldn't be crew, or civvy (as Keiko O'Brien) - she'd only come to a sticky end and Picard has to be forced off the ship at phaser-point in order to take a holiday so a repeat of her intro episode is out of the question for a steamy rendez-vous.
After over a decade of writing fanfiction with the Picard/Vash pairing, I can tell you that Vash's character fits in easily with the crew as a civilian scientist. I have two TNG storylines; the Double Entendre Universe which accept all TNG canon through the movie "Generations" while adding Vash onboard as the ship's chief archaeologist and the Reasons of the Heart Universe which accept all TNG canon through the movie "Insurrection" while adding Vash onboard as the ship's chief archaeologist. I write her as, to paraphrase a line slightly, a Doctor of Archaeology, expert on the Gamma Quadrant, obtainer of rare antiquities. The characterizations and relationship dynamics established in TNG canon for the Picard/Vash pairing work so flawlessly and flow so easily that it is a pure joy to write this pairing.
I always wondered how the Vash character might have been utilized more in the show, with my P/V fanfic simply being my own speculation.

You just came across a little insulted that I dared to question the legitimacy of Picard and Vashs unused legacy as the new Romeo and Juliet.
Not everyone is going to see the pairing as an obvious and proper destiny.
Unless he just arbitrarily decided their relationship might be 'inappropriate' given that she had a naughty thieving streak.

Tomalak - The greatest villian in TNG. He also should have popped up at least once a season.

Yes. I've always thought this. TNG missed an opportunity by not giving JLP a smart rival, and Tomalak would have been perfect.
Now, I have writing on my next story to do.

Yay! And I'm looking forward to reading it.![]()
I hate Picard/Crusher fanfic...not sure why, but I've never found that pairing interesting. Picard/Vash on the other hand, sounds very interesting. I would have liked to see more of Vash.Picard/Vash fanfic in a Picard/Crusher fanfic world
my new dishwasher was installed this week. Yea!!!
Love your new sig!
I wanted to see more Tellerites, Andorians

Joel_Kirk, you are one smart man.I would have loved to see more Andorians and Tellarites on ANY Trek series, not just TNG.
I personally can't understand why they never appeared on DS9. It was a show that spent a lot of time dealing with power politics in the Trek universe. Yet, two of the four founding members of the UFP never appear?Would it have killed them to have the Federation President be a Tellarite instead of a new alien (whose race never appears again)?
As for ENT, the amount of Andorian screentime was a good start, but a lot more was needed. All the Tellarite screentime did was wet my appetite for that race.
I wanted to see more Tellerites, Andorians, duty skirts/go-go boots, etc...
(Plainly, more TOS elements).
