Line 219:
** Worst of all, when Kes left the crew, he really didn't have much to do, and while ''every'' member of the cast was overshadowed to some degree when Seven of Nine was introduced, Neelix was pretty much [[Demoted to Extra]].
*** A [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMHzOjggHoA youtube] clip on how Neelix should have been handled in the series.
** Oh, and speaking of Kes... Who in the world thought her up? This was a concept that might look good on paper, but… No, check that, this is a concept that doesn’t even look good on paper. This character couldn’t and ''shouldn’t'' work. A race of sapient and civilized aliens with only a ten-year lifespan pushes the [[Willing Suspension of Disbelief]] (even for Trekkies) far enough as it is, explained through the eyes of a two-year old member of said species, who has two members of the crew competing for her affection, both of which are thirty years older, at least… ''She is a child'', and no amount of “logic” nor character development is going to change that to viewers. While Jennifer Lien does get an A for effort in her attempts to sell Kes as believable and likable,
** Seven of Nine, for the usual [[Die for Our Ship]] reasons and for being [[Ms. Fanservice]]. Kate Mulgrew herself never liked the concept behind this character; her own character - Captain Janeway - was designed to be a [[Deconstruction]] of female characters in science fiction (''not'' a [[Ms. Fanservice]] and ''never'' a [[Damsel in Distress]], but a competent, intelligent leader) and ''it worked'', so she was very cold to the idea of the introduction of a character who clearly ''was'' introduced for sex appeal, so much that she and Jeri Ryan had a lot of trouble getting along on the set.
** Chakotay has this among American Indian Trekkies for [[Ethnic Scrappy]] [[Magical Native American|reasons]].
