I know that canonically, Jankom is a Tellarite and not a Talaxian, but I feel that his story’s justification has a Tom Paris/Nick Locarno vibe, but I haven’t been able to find any relationship on Google. There’s a lot on Jankom that reminds me of Neelix:

  • Delta quadrant
  • Split nose
  • Hair, sideburns and eyebrows
  • Ears somewhat
  • Spots

Also, I thought that Tellarites would look closer to what the doctor on Janeway’s crew looked like.

Is some writer not being paid for the creation of Talaxian on Prodigy?

    It’s weird, he doesn’t really look like a Tellarite, but he doesn’t really look like a Talaxian, either.

    I will concede he looks more like a Talaxian than a Tellarite, but still, very different.
