Yeah like DS9 having repeat characters makes sense because the station isn't going anywhere. How the heck do the same people show up on Voyager?
Especially with some of the jumps through the sector they made with outside help
They showed how they do it.
Each civilization had their own agreements and there was a lot of zig-zagging and going around stuff.A squad, working together against a common enemy who wreaks havoc anywhere they go?
All in the name of something called “Coffee.”
They defend worlds from coffee.
Yet, Voyager was way faster than anything most species had, moved faster than it could theoretically do, and somehow those people still zig-zagged ahead.
Unless the producers/audience reception is nonplussed, as with the Vidiians or the Kazon. At which point they fall back on old reliable Borg.
Sorry but the species growing massive nugs on their heads was a bad choice for reoccurring antagonists.
Then there was the time Naomi Wildman's mom got left on some planet somewhere and everyone forgot she existed.
Edit: This gives me an idea.
Like that cardadian Who had surgery to look like a bajorin showing up like three seasons later.
