Wow, that fancast you linked is really cool. I agree completely about a non-human captain, that would be amazing! As well as the need for queer visibility, considering how progressive it's been (at least for the times - it's odd to think that it's really been a decade since regularly televised Star Trek was a thing) in other areas, I really don't understand why that hasn't happened. That's the thing about Trek, for all it sometimes relies on formulaic narrative structures within its episodes, it's never been pedestrian with its characters.
Apparently Ron Moore left Voyager over his frustrations with being unable to more fully explore the implications of their situation, and a lot of those thoughts went into BSG. I'm not really sure, given how angry I was with BSG at the end, that I wish he'd stayed, but I certainly think that that influence, modified by the other Trek Writers could have lead to something extraordinary had it been given the chance.
