I think it's silly that the star trek future is still so same-with-same when it comes to alien species. I think a Klingon vessel should comm the enterprise and a random human ensign should go "Oh my god wait are you from the House of Ragh-Tul? No way! That's my cousin's house!" because they recognize the dialect. Like, we're all neighbors in the universe. That Vulcan is your primary school teacher's daughter. You're an Andorian but you have a human name because your dad thought it sounded pretty. This random alien knows how to make kimchi without ever having seen a human because the recipe was part of a trade made decades ago. C'mon man, love thy neighbor with your whole heart!
