Who was "better utilized" is a hard question in my view, but I think it's clear that Quark was a more fully developed character.

Guinan appeared seldom but always gave insight to characters when they most needed it. She was enigmatic, and cool, but not very fleshed out.

Quark was more realized as a character - more complex, more highs and lows, more emotions. I didn't like him much, but he was more "interesting" to watch.

@FaygoRedPop That sounds about the same break-even rate I calculated for my rooftop solar.

@Stamets Jeffery Coombs, the everyman.

@TheGrandNagus Kinda makes sense that way. Flung into trouble because of her adherence to the Prime Directive, then had to do whatever it took to get the crew home... I'd waffle about, too.

@clover I thought "The Terraformers" was an excellent long form solarpunk novel. The themes of nature and community to overcome oppression were very satisfying.

@Anaphory @solarpunk great book!

@sem Neelix is my nine-year-old's favorite character.

@amelore @CommunityLinkFixer is it kind to ask a bot about whether it needs to exist any more? :)
