You'd better be careful here, friend. You could become the next victim of
the American Justice system saying this kind of stuff. I do not really
care if it's the case, but it's far better in being careful how you word
things. People, especially actors sue for defamation of character, libel,
slander, etc all the time. You chose to speak in authoratative terms
rather than a supposed theoretical.

I believe that she was sacked due to character development. The writers
wrote themselves into a corner when they said Kes was going to live for
8-9 years. Besides, they never seemed to really know what to do with her
character. I agree that her character was one of the more interesting
ones on that show, but obviously the 'writers' didn't know what to do
with her. I really enjoyed the episode where Kes traveled back in time
from the future and she warns the captain about the Krenim, yet in the
Year of Hell, no one seems to remember her warnings when she's gone.

BTW, how far away are these people? I remember that they were 80,000
lights years away. And Kes moved them 10,000 lights years closer and
with all their travelling, they should be what, 50,000 lights years away
from Federation space? Does this mean they can only travel 1,000 lights
years a year? I thought that they could travel faster; didn't the
Enterprise travel that distance in a couple of months?

Actually no, that's merely the excuses they used to "persuade" her to go
quietly. Garrett's the one who was always late and never learned his lines.

Jennifer, I've subsequently discovered, almost certainly got picked for
having turned down Alexander Enberg's sexual advances. Enberg then runs off
to Mommy (Jeri Taylor) and the rest is history...

^ Just for the record: as the top indicates, I didn't write this part. In
your reply you left it off. Some people may get the wrong idea if I don't
clarify that and they don't bother to properly read things fully :P

How does one address that subject? Something similar to this perhaps?

[Enberg]: Jeri, I'm really pissed off with Jennifer Lien. I've got it bad
for her, but she won't in any way/shape/or form give it up :(

[Taylor]: That's ok, Alex; I've got some unresolved issues with people here
trying to usurp my authoritarian power-hungry self. That's not my
character, but by me ordering her removal it will serve to hurt
one of my detractors.

[Enberg]: You're the greatest, Jeri!


BTW, the name of Alexander Enberg doesn't ring bells here. What role does
he have in Voyager's power heirarchy?

Indeed not, but I have contributed to the show during season three, and
know several members of the cast and crew. This one is actually true.

Ah... That one I can't answer, because I have no intention of getting

The accused, "Dangermouse" <mas...@sol.co.ukDEATH-TO-SPAMMERS>, is charged
with the possession of illegal thoughts, according to article
<01bd9c19$4b4d1420$LocalHost@lgwujvnl>. I present exhibit A:

>Jennifer, I've subsequently discovered, almost certainly got picked for

If this is true, it's even more nausiating than what we knew so far. Her
being a victim of the ratings war shows that the producers care more about
money than art; not that surprising. Her being a victim of petty squabbles
between producers is worse; they're a fact of life but the show should have
been more important than their ego's. But firing Jennifer because she
wouldn't sleep with the producer's son (if true) is, well, I just don't have
any words for it. It's bad. It's about as far away as you can get from
artistic integrity, viewer respect, etc. And isn't it illegal?

It is, but I'm sure he came up with some other excuse to get her fired. he
probably reported every little thing she did, and since he knew his own
mother wasn't going to fire him for pestering her, she fired Jennifer.

Well, yes. But consider the humongous uphill battle she'd have to wage to win,
especially if the rumors of her onset and/or offset behavior had any amount of
truth to them.

Most of the nonHollywood world sees actors as whiny spoiled kids who bawl over
any slight, real or imagined, due to their massive egos. True, not a valid
characterization, but it would make it difficult for Ms. Lien to prevail in
making such a charge.

And win or lose she would no longer have a career in mainstream Hollywood.

Side note: I liked Kes and Jennifer's portrayal of her. Her lacks, I felt,
were due to poor scripts and poor character development by TPTB, not due to Ms
Lien's abilities.

Yes, as I said, Jeri was never that fond of her anyway, and there are
several other reasons (she was late for shooting on one occassion that I
know of - compared to Garrett who was late every week - and that Jeri
didn't find the character very interesting is also true.)

But investigations have shown that this was part of why she got picked over
Neelix, once Garrett was reprieved.

As I understand it, once Garrett was reprieved, John - Ethan Phillips - was
very afraid for his job, because his character wasn't (and isn't) popular
with the viewers or the rest of the producers, and even within the context
of the show he's outlived his usefulness when they passed beyond the region
of space that Neelix knows. (in fact that may have been laying the
groundwork to get rid of him)

But when they reported back for work for season 4, it emerged that Jeri had
pulled her co-creator's rank to get Jennifer picked. (They didn't actually
tell her until she returned to work after the hiatus, apparently).

Obviously there were other reasons as well (Jeri never liked her that much
- Janeway was her sole interest among the females), but this was a part of
it.

I seriously don't think that these people would like what you are saying
about these people behind their backs. It may be the truth -- but you
need not broadcast it and go public. Everybody has a vice -- but the
vices of normal people are seldom known. Therefore you must realize that
these people are still, deep down, perfectly normal, and you must strive
to treat them as normal people. Thus if somebody has an addiction or a
problem, broadcasting it in that light is injustly tarnishing their
reputations.

You have a serious issue with fully reading and comprehending posts and
the relevant material to be garnered out of them. Run along now... or try
to post something *PROLIFIC* for once in your life.

*I* wasn't the source of that information, I merely replied to it. As for
veracity, the original poster was Gabriel C. Koerner (don't know him), but
this has been admitted and acknowledged by a some-time contributor to the
Trek universe (Dangermouse).

No, he's not. He left the group. He deleted it from his reader. This, I know.
He's not back. He is gone for good. I would know if he were back, and trust
me, I'd try to stop him from coming back if he were thinking about it. I
don't want the flame wars to start again.

You know - you can't say that everyone that bothers you is Tom in disguise. No

And yet Miss Parker, if he were gone, why did he respond to my post asking a
technical question?

I did not submit the idea that Tom and Mr Fraser were the same. I admit that
two (2) people posted that speculation, at which point Tom just jumped in and
mocked and belittled everyone in the newsgroup, including those who may have
joined since he "left" the newsgroup.

He may have told you that he left, but he obviously still lurks here and
intends to keep posting. Apparently Tom is not listening to your request that
he not be in this newsgroup.

Perhaps this time you can ask him to promise you to leave, since he won't honor
any statements to the newsgroup or the chat group to stay away.

Or it could be something mundane like an attitude problem, contract
dispute, or decision by TPTB to clear some deadwood out of the way
before Jeri's entrance. The latter is my guess: four female "babe
factors" on the show would be a bit much. Further, they could always
recycle her in guest episodes: there are rumors of an "evil Kes" episode
coming up.

I remember the Love Boat (dumb show I know but I had the hots for Lauren Tewes
{Julie the cruise director})

For the first 2 years they couldn't find a tight enough pullover shirt to put
on that woman. Suddenly, the last few seasons she was on, she was always in
frump suits and her face wasn't as thin as before either.

Then I found out she had been doing coke for years. They canned her "after"
she quit doing coke and her weight zoomed up. TPTB knew all along about her
problem; its just that when it affected her appearance due to her quitting
using it, then they canned her "due to a drug related problem."

So, I can believe a young attractive woman in Hollywood could be using drugs;
it is apparently as common at parties as Perrier viss a tvist dahling.

But I find the sexual harrassment angle a more plausible reason and a more
likely story than that she used drugs.

For one thing, it's uncivil to believe nasty, anonomous, and unfounded
rumors about someone.

Personally, I find all the conjecture pretty pointless. It's easy to believe the
worst in people, so why is it so hard to believe anything good? If she has an
addiction problem, she is to be pitied.....if not, all the discussion is
meaningless. In either case, gossip hurts all it touches - those who are its
subject, and those who spread it.

I think Lien was let go simply because there wasn't very much they could
do with Kes. She was part Deanna Troi, part Spock, but, if nothing else,
her short life span pretty much put the kiss of death on the character.
VOYAGER needed someone aboard who wasn't " Starfleet issue ", who would
basically follow her own directives at times, instead of Janeway's. You
would think the Maqui crew members, especially Torres, would have fit that
bill, but they all eventually fell into line.

So out with Kes, in with Seven of Nine and it seems to have worked. I
waited a long time for someone to tell Janeway, as Seven did last week,
that following Starfleet directives isn't always the answer.

No, but again, I'm sure TPTB will thank you for believing their excuses.

Except that Before And After was designed to address that very problem...
