* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: He is seemingly expected to have answers to any conceivable scientific or philosophical question.

to:

* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: He is seemingly expected to have answers to any conceivable scientific or philosophical question. He can almost always provide one as well, and if he can't, he will normally make an informed guess.


Added DiffLines:

* MsFanservice: She has quite a few fight scenes where she performs high kicks while wearing a skirt, showing a lot of leg and just barely avoiding outright upskirt shots. She also wears a dress with a NavelDeepNeckline in her first appearance. Once she joins the crew she wears the same uniform as everybody else, of course.
* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: Takes over this role from Prof. Bergman, but she usually limits herself to scientific questions and questions about other cultures. This is justified by her coming from an old, advanced civilization with a large knowledge base, and being much more intelligent than a typical human.


Added DiffLines:

* RaceLift: An unusual case. Although she's played by Creator/ZieniaMerton in both seasons, she looks much more Asian in the second season (Merton was of mixed race and could pass as both European and Asian). In later episodes, her name has also changed from the Hungarian-sounding Sandra Benes to just Sahn.
* SuddenNameChange: She goes by the name Sandra Benes for the entire first season and the first episodes of the second season. After her absence from the cast for part of the second season, she is renamed to Sahn, with no explanation given. This could simply be a pet name for "Sandra", but in late season two episodes her name tag says "Sahn", with no surname. A possible explanation is that the producers wanted to portray her as an Asian rather than a European (Zienia Merton was half English, half Burmese and could pass as both).


Added DiffLines:

* BlackAndNerdy: Played by the Jamaican-born Clifton Jones, he's Alpha's foremost expert on all things computer-related during the first season.


Added DiffLines:

* TokenMinority: Mostly {{averted|Trope}} by the standards of a '70s series. He certainly gets a lot more to do per episode than, say, [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Lt. Uhura]].


Added DiffLines:

* TokenMinority: Largely {{averted|Trope}}; he has an important role in many episodes, being one of only two doctors on the base. Unlike Kano he returns for season two, although he only appears in two episodes of the final season before being replaced by the aforementioned substitute characters.

* DemotedToExtra: Over the course of the second season, she slowly fades from the limelight until she's eventually replaced by the {{suspiciously similar|Substitute}} character [[TheDanza Yasko]] (Yasuko Nagazumi).



* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Disappears without explanation in the second season, though a deleted scene implies that he and Morrow are killed in an Eagle crash.



%%* RememberTheNewGuy

to:

%%* RememberTheNewGuy* RememberTheNewGuy: Despite never being seen or even alluded to in the first season, he's treated as a familiar presence throughout the second.



* MsFanservice: Fills this role on occasion, most notably in "Force of Life" during the scene in the base solarium.

Making IP-decided changes + removed IP tag for Helena because that's not a thread link (and I can't find the thread link) + commented out blank ZC Es, removed Cool Old Guy ZCE (the trope is in TRS). Hopefully Creator/ redlinks are acceptable.
