Yeah, it really should’ve read “Levar Burton - The New Scotty?” To which people would’ve been like “a black Scotty, WTF?” It’s kind of interesting how much the original dynamic was broken apart with the TNG crew, and glad they tried doing something different instead of just a carbon copy reboot. Some just don’t translate or were completely new “roles” that just didn’t exist in TOS.
Also, Levar Burton as the new Spock?

So, so, so many gold shirts :(
I guess they didn’t expect comedic actor Brent Spiner to be the emotionless Spock-analogue.
