This is getting vastly misrepresented. What we're doing, which is
something I noted here a long time ago, is trying to balance stuff a
little. We did a *great* job, I think, creating the alien characters; so
much so that our human characters kinda got short shrift over the course
of the first season. Year Two will show us a bit more of the humans on
the station; that is NOT the same as downplaying the aliens, and we're
most emphatically NOT doing that. In point of fact, *all* of the major
alien characters will be appearing (by contract) in more episodes than
was the case last year. Even the diplomatic attaches like Vir and Lennier
go from 6-7 episodes last year to 13 this coming year.
