I'd say the Fed has a few too many, but in general I'd agree.

98% of aliens being not only humonoid, but easliy mistakable for human. At least the Orions are green.

Well they made up a semi plausable excuse for that in "The Chase"

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

But even the (what were they called) Providers couldn't have seeded as much of the galaxy as they did. Look at the Breen. They don't even come from a class M world and they still are built right

Sure they could have. As soon as they develope transwarp they can move all over the place throwing geneti material down on every planet they see.

Troi's moodiness. I find her incredibly offputting at least 1/4 of the episodes.

Teaos: even if you assume they did seed every planet in the AQ, the resultant races should have turned out far different from each other. And they certainly should not have been able to reproduce.

They said they engineered the DNA to force life forms to evolve into beings like them. Thus you would expect them to be as similar as possible.

Then why do we not look like them? Or Klingons? The only real similarities is that we're all humanoid.

Humanoid with two eyes, two ears, a nose, a mouth. The same reproductive systems basically.

The only thing different is slight cosmetic ones. Just like forced evolution would predict.

And all the internal differences that the various races have? Such as the Klingons and Vulcans (and thus, presumably, Romulans)?

There arent that much differences. Everyone has pretty much the same organs, just different configurations and sometimes redundent organs.

Yes, exactly. Look at terrestrial organisms and you'll see that the majority of creatures are much the same in the general layout of internal organs.
And need I bring up the Vulcan's blood?

Could it be that those minor differences such as blood and cosmetics are due to the enviroment and such, the planted DNA pushed evolution in a certain way but they still had to live in different enviroments.

Considering the massive differences there could be in life forms the small differences that we see are pretty much nothing.

And you'll notice the species with planets the closest to Earth are the ones that look the most like humans.

I find it annoying how almost EVERYONE, apart from picard, has an american accent.
