People I Miss... (Part 1)

I miss Peter Grodin. He was only in a handful of episodes in the first season, but he made a huge impression on me. He had a wonderful screen presence and good chemistry with the other characters. The industry learned that you couldn't just kill off random red shirts and expect it to have an emotional impact with the audience but I really wish they hadn't killed off Grodin. It would have been interesting to see how his character would have developed.

There was quite a shake up at the beginning of season 2. They had to make room for the incoming characters from Earth and that meant some of the season 1 characters had to go. The writers may not have seen it as changing the diversity of the characters but we the viewers certainly did. It could have been handled much better.
