4. First gay Klingon, Jay-Den Kraag
From the start of Starfleet Academy, Star Trek's first gay Klingon, Jay-Den Kraag, was unlike other Klingons. Rather than coming in boasting, prone to violence and short-tempered, Jay-Den was more reserved, even nervous at times.
Then there was how Jay-Den wanted to be a medic, not a warrior, as healing others seems to go against the Klingon mantra. Karim Diane was a fine choice for the role, putting a different spin on a classic Klingon performance that made the character resonate.
It deepened with Jay-Den’s relationship with the War College's Kyle Jokovich, which was wonderfully written and acted. The fact that some just took this romance for granted ties into Trek’s classic takes on acceptance. Jay-Den gave us a new look at Klingon culture, and that alone makes SFA a memorable series.
