“I’ve seen them all, for sure,” Phia Saban said. “I mean, sometimes Ewan [and I] will be doing a scene and we’ll be like, ‘Do it for Helaemond.’ And he’s like, ‘You know what the people want.'”
Ewan Mitchell confirmed this later that same day in another roundtable interview Decider attended with him.
“I think it’s nice to leave, you know, little seeds out there for the audience to kind of create their own theories on things,” Mitchell said.
“I mean, Targaryen-ism is known for that,” he said, referring to the incestuous nature of such a romance. “And so it’s not entirely out of the question. But I mean, I don’t know, it’s an interesting theory for sure.”
Phia Saban revealed that what the pair of them love about Helaemond is that their characters’ chemistry “didn’t come from the script at all.”

In terms of [French] soldiers, the habit of being tattooed appears to have been well established by the time of the Revolution. […] Another veteran of the [First French] Empire, with twelve campaigns and fifteen wounds to his name, was given a medical examination and was found to have VIVE LE ROI (’Long live the king’) tattooed on his right forearm. For political expediency, the veteran quickly had this tattoo amended to read VIVE LE RÔTI (’Long live roast meat’).

A Betazoid character who isn't in a nurturing profession, but is a tactical officer.
"Captain, I sense they know they're about to get their asses handed to them"
Also, a Klingon character who is in a nuturing profession instead of tactical.
"You are a true child of Kahless for confronting your fears and I am honoured to have helped you."
Klingon therapist: the battle against mental illness cannot be won decisively. It is a long campaign against an enemy who never tires, whose forces swell to twice their size whenever you look away. Battle against a foe of such magnitude, who occupies your very mind… every moment you survive is a triumph against all odds. There is no more honorable combat.
No joking, but the best RPG I was ever apart of was the first one, a Star Trek-themed one. I was the ship’s half Orion doctor and my most stalwart nurse was a Klingon named T'Ka. Per the DM, he became a nurse to fight the most glorious enemy there was: death itself.
