The Underrated Star Trek Series That Brings Back Fan-Favorite Characters

Another great TNG side character who gets an expanded role in these books is Dr. Selar. In the show, this Vulcan medical assistant only appeared in three episodes, but the character enjoys outsized popularity because she is portrayed by Trek royalty Suzie Plakson (she also played a female Q on Voyager, the Andorian Tarah in Enterprise, and Worf’s baby daddy K’Ehleyr on The Next Generation).

In Star Trek: New Frontier, Selar is the chief medical officer aboard the Excalibur who eventually develops a most illogical relationship with the most improbable of characters.
