Star Trek Evolution

Just watched Ensign Ro from season 5 of Star Trek: The Next Generation. This is the first appearance of the Bajoran, a group of aliens who play an important role in Deep Space Nine.

Wonks Anonymous notes that the rather prominent facial ridges that made Kira such a heart throb for geeks and geekettes everywhere were considerably attenuated in this first contact. He notes that a similar thing happened to the Klingons between the original Star Trek and the later shows.

Do alien races evolve ridges in response to the threat of human bacteria?

Meanwhile Wonks Anonymous is trying to slog through Wyden-Bennett. why does the Library of Congress not have a simple system to link to a bill? Why this Thomas search stuff?
