10 Star Trek Characters We Had To Wait Years To See Again
1. Trek's First Treaty
It's not the first time that Errand of Mercy has made an appearance in this list!
While the fabulous writing of Gene L Coon is responsible for the creation of the Klingons for this 1967 episode, he is also able to put his name to the Organians.
Instrumental in the foundation of an uneasy peace between the Federation and the Klingon Empire, the Organians initially seemed to be a highly pacifistic and passive society. Unwilling and seemingly unable to take a side in the conflict between the two mighty Alpha Quadrant powers, the Organians ultimately played their trump card.
Turning out to be pacifists by choice and with apparently omnipotent abilities, the Organian Peace Treaty would only later be surpassed by the Khitomer Accords.
But what does this have to do with our characters?
Well, the Organians would turn up for a second occasion some 37 years later in 2004's The Observer Effect aboard the NX-01 where they would inhabit the bodies of the crew to get a good look at humanity.
Go a little further and the Organians would get a further head nod in Prodigy when it was revealed that Dal's genetic makeup included Proto-Organian which would ultimately cause him to swap bodies temporarily with Admiral Janeway.
