Anagram 01/17/20 9:23:27 PM #93:	46. Kes Why yes, porcupine-headed idiots are my type, how did you know? The most important thing to know about Kes is that she was going to stay on the show for its full run, but the producers demanded a character be cut for financial reasons after they brought on Seven of Nine. This character was going to be Harry Kim, which is why the last episode of season 3 has the Borg Queen directly address him through Voyagers bridge screen. But between seasons, Time Magazine did a 100 Sexiest Men list, and Garret Wang (Harrys actor) was on it. https://c8.alamy.com/comp/D7KH2W/duesseldorf-germany-09-may-2013-actor-garrett-wang-star-trek-voyager-D7KH2W.jpg This man was declared too sexy to let go of, and thats why Kes was written out of the show. This character has some potential if you look at things from a purely premise perspective. All of the humans are from a spacefaring civilization, so they cant really be wowed by the wacky space shenanigans they find. Solution? Introduce a primitive alien girl in the first episode. As they go along, they discover that shes not completely what she seems, and that a dark power nests within her. If youve ever watched Voyager, you know both that I just made Kes sound way more interesting than she really is and that the writers were capable of two good episodes per season, max. The writers never had any idea what to do with the Kes has super strong psychic powers storyline. Writing her out of the show might have been a blessing in disguise. I guess I should also address the whole Neelix thing. So if you have a race of aliens who die in nine years and have no understanding of anything beyond a redressed factory set I mean the underground civilization theyve lived in for generations, then youve effectively made them kind of childlike? So it doesnt feel like Kes relationship with Neelix is really on equal terms here, but this never gets brought up. Aside from all of that, Kes is a perfectly fine premise ruined by Voyagers garbage execution. --- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig.
