There's a scene in very early 60's Doctor Who where a character falls into a swamp, I think, and they throw not a rag doll, but a card board cut out of the actor. 10/10 they don't make 'em like this no more

Those certainly are some words that could be used to describe Arsenic and Old Lace. Not well, mind you, but certainly a collection of words.
For those who haven’t seen the movie, that description is the *background detail* for the main character.
What the movie is *about* is that on the day of his elopement, he discovers that the sweet, elderly maiden aunts who raised him are Angel of Death-style serial killers and he has to run around trying to make the killings stop without getting his aunts caught and keeping it a secret from his new wife while he’s supposed to be packing for his honeymoon.
It’s a dark comedy.

In Star Trek, Earth is the capital of a large multi-ethnic federation, and has been for over a hundred years by the time of TOS and even longer for the later series
And yet, whenever we see a scene on Earth, outside of Starfleet Academy or Starfleet headquarters, we only see humans (or at least, I'm not aware of any, though to be fair there are some series I haven't seen yet)
By this point in Star Trek's history, there should've been a good deal of immigration, plus also tourism. We should see non-human tourists and immigrant communities
Worf grew up on Earth, but we don't get to see his childhood, only a handful of references
I would love to see characters who are immigrants to Earth, or the descendant of immigrants. And in the present political climate, I think it would be very powerful to show non-human immigrant communities living in harmony with the human majority of Earth. Say, a Vulcan restaurant owner whose grandparents immigrated to Earth, or a 1st generation Klingon or Romulan immigrant. A Starfleet officer who's Andorian, who grew up in Siberia. Or even, what if it turns out that there's an Aenar community in Antarctica, descended from refugees from Andoria
And maybe they've assimilated to Earth culture, or maybe they hold to old-world (literally in this case!) traditions. Or a mixture as is common with the descendants of immigrants. You see a scene where a character's visiting their family on Earth, and in the background you see storefronts with Vulcan language signs or Klingon or Andorian or Bajoran or whatever. A sign proclaiming Best Plomeek Soup On Earth. A character code-switching between Federation Standard and their heritage language
I've been watching The Night Manager recently and it's got me thinking that Babylon 5 must be an absolute hotbed of spies. Just constant bugging, honeytraps, double agents, disinformation, all that kind of thing.
I'm imagining a storyline where one Friday night, Sheridan and Ivanova are at a bustling bar, and Sheridan pulls a listening device out of the ice in his drink. That's it, he's had enough. There's going to be a crackdown on espionage. All the ambassadors have to approve in public, but of course they complain bitterly in private. Still, Sheridan insists: anyone caught spying will be barred from the station for a year, no exceptions. Ivanova gets stuck into enforcement with gusto.
At the end, she and Sheridan go back to the bar. It's a week later, another Friday night, and it's completely empty.
