To keep it vague, many actors who liked working on Trek and who the show staff liked working with would often come back as either other characters or their popular characters via various means (time travel eps, dreams, etc). Tasha's actress does make several reappearances and Tasha's story does get some continuation/wrap-up story wise (to effect the character is not forgotten by the other characters or the writers after she dies), but the actress never rejoins the cast as a full-time regular.

Haha I've been outlining a fanfic and having the same thing! I like trying to stick to canon, but at the same time what I'm writing on wasn't addressed much in canon (basically writing a redemption/healing fic too for a villain who may or may not have been brainwashed and if so only at certain points maybe...? His point of view/situation is just totally never addressed lol). So I know I'm getting further and further away from canon as I outline the chapters, but also if I stuck completely to canon this character would be static and this story would go nowhere lol
Oof that's an aye from me then. Thank you for the pics!
Could we have some links to examples so everyone can get an informed view of the kind of content you're talking about? I don't browse that instance normally.
Not sure how it works on Lemmy, but I'd be for this! I'm the same with you with liking to easily find the discussion posts for movies each week. Since this is movies and TV maybe there could be the option for adding posts for new ep discussions for TV shows people want to track.
