Totally agree with your take on wanting a spinoff for characters like Daryl from “The Walking Dead”! I remember when they hinted at a standalone series for him—I was ready to binge-watch his survival skills and road adventures. It’s like, sometimes those side characters have so much depth that it feels wrong not to explore their stories more. It reminds me of how much I loved the dynamic between him and Carol; I’d watch them tackle new challenges Snow Rider 3D together any day! Who knew a zombie apocalypse could lead to such compelling storytelling?

Fitch and Hayes (Isaac Hayes and Louis Gossett Jr) from The Rockford Files.

I’d vote for Kalinda Sharma from Goodwife.

You can always spinoff an investigator and after not getting along with the lead in real life… they wrote her out of the show, so the character wasn’t vital.

Still Kalinda was a great character and the actress did a nice job with the role.

I would have missed the dynamic between Data and LaForge, but I would have loved a Riker spinoff. It never made sense that he stayed first officer for so very long.

LaForge. Never well used in TNG, could easily have been its Frasier.
