I think they were banking on Vader hating the planet so much he'd never willingly return and then later training Luke in the hopes that Vader may hesitate to kill his own kids, because Vader hesitating to kill someone is basically the only way anyone has a hope of beating him.

Vader only starts sensing Luke after he gets some training and goes from being merely Force sensitive to a proper Force adept. Trained adepts are consistently shown in the franchise to be easier to sense than untrained sensitives, like Leia.
Vader only knows Luke is his son after being told his name. He only finds out Luke has a sister after ripping the knowledge from his mind, and it's unclear if he got her name.
All Picards? What about Picards by marriage, because as I get older Marie Picard starts looking better.
They floated it a little with Rutherford in the first episode or two with his Vulcan implant randomly making him act Vulcan, but it was dropped almost immediately.
Hmm, I can recognize Klingon and tengwar, but not the others. I can still read Daedric from when I played Morrowind all the time, but it takes me a while to remember what the individual glyphs mean.
More a product of Berman than of the '90s.
Not technically an alternate universe. Also, the two Voyagers had only deviated from each other by a few hours. O'Brien getting killed off and replaced by his time-displaced future self is weirder, to me.
Because they're more concerned with the Federation continuing to exist as a major player in the galaxy than they are with the timeline remaining unblemished. For whatever reason, Voyager getting home early is better than the alternative.
As an adendum to that guy's post, season 5 is weaker due to production issues, but really picks up in the back half and resolves the G'Kar-Londo plot. That last bit makes it worth watching all on its own, for me.
Michael O'Hare was pretty healthy when they filmed the pilot, but got worse after, which is part of why season 1 was delayed; he took some time for treatment and JMS held off on filming until he was ready to come back. He took a turn while they were filming the season and it affected his acting. He came back for a guest appearance later on when he was feeling better and put in his best performance as the character. He retired shortly after, though.
Wait, Riker played chula?
I feel like the Klingon response to their gods coming back would be something along the lines of, "How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man?"
