Why was Kes written off the show?

Because he was a white male between 18 and 49.

He was about as white as Idris Elba.

Is Garrett Wang white then?

Okay I'll bite. What colour d'you want to tell Garrett Wang he is?

[Guy Gardener]

you know how sometimes you're reading a thread and you don't notice that they've sent you to a page behind every one else, so that when you think you're answering to something pertinent and in context, it's actually a comment targeted to what was said on the last page, and bares no actual relevance to the post directly above where you're typing?

The board can be a dick some times.

Paris. Much to the EMH's annoyance, IIRC.

Paris actually had the job before Kes. But generally after Kes left, the Doctor normally worked without an assistant always at his side.

Of course it was a catsuit. Don't be silly.

Nah, calling that a catsuit is silly because you might as well say every woman in VOY wore a catsuit then.

[Sandoval]

It's clearly a catsuit.

[Guy Gardener]

A cat suit does not a vava voom make.

Sevens "costume" was two sizes to small.

3?

Her ass and her boobs were both trying to escape from either end.

What Jennifer is wearing I can imagine crawling in there with her like it were a sleeping bag made for two.

It's a cat-suit. Lien just didn't have that gudunkgudunk that Ryan had.

I hardly think conventions matter in the overall scheme of things, the percentage of people watching Voyager on TV who actually went to conventions or knew anything about how the people acted in real life really would have been miniscule.

The drug-use rumours (whether true or not), set off by her bizarre public appearances were quite rampant at the time. Sure, only a tiny percentage of viewers actually attend conventions, but the negative publicity for the Star Trek brand was potentially just as wide-spreading in the media as the more positive one of Kim being named as one of 50 Beautiful People.

TPTB were smoking crack! Kes, Yes! Seven(as played by Jeri Ryan), Yes! No Wang!!!

[Sandoval]

Plus Jeri Ryan's catsuits had built in corsets.

Jennifer Lien's catsuit didn't.

Then every woman wore a catsuit between TNG and ENT then if a catsuit is any one-piece outfit.

If you say so. Although we both know you're being silly.

Nope, I'm being factual. Take a look at the standard female Starfleet uniforms beginning with the first episode of TNG to Nemesis. Have you ever noticed how tight all of them are? They're catsuits by your definition.

[Sandoval]

Kes is still wearing a catsuit in that picture.

You just need to face up to that fact.
