Alien Warrior = Dark Skin?
June 6, 2014 at 10:48 pm
I've noticed a peculiar trend in sci fi shows set in space. The character in the staring crew that is of the "honorable warrior" type often has dark skin. In several cases, the character is even played by a black actor.

Some examples that come to my mind (are there more?):

D'Argo from Farscape:

Worf from Star Trek TNG and DS9

Teal'c from Stargate SG-1

Ronon from Stargate Atlantis

And maybe this is a bit of a stretch but I think Chewbacca fits into this pattern

My ignore list
