The "black McKay" thread got me to post this one.
After what happened to Ford (a dead-end role for Francks, & bad writing IMO), I wondered why a better role hadn't been created. Why couldn't a black actor have been cast as Shepperd? (It's not like race made a difference, though I really liked Flanigan in the role.)
So, what would have been the effect? Who might have been cast?
