They all got paid the same no matter how little or much they had to do as long as they were there.
Creatively though it had to hurt their vanity that their T-Shirts and action figures sold poorly.

I wonder if its kind of an out-of-body experience to see yourself as an action figure. Surreal.
I don't even have a Voyager t-shirt, I've NEVER had one. This seems wrong.
eBay!
Actually, I have a poster, a cut-away view of both Voyager and the Delta Flyer with Borg cubes firing at them from behind. My mother bought it for me when I was 11, I think for my birthday. 15 years later, it's still on my bedroom wall. But that's the only merchandise I have.

I have enough boxy man fandom shirts to last me rather a long time though. I'm wearing one with the original Enterprise on it right now. It's pretty great but would be pretty more great if it actually was female flattering shaped.
Here it is. It looks better IRL becaues the space colours are all blue and green.
This is LIVE ACTION POSTING folks.

Mow your freaking lawns woman!
Those are edible native plants.
Well intentioned lies are worth a great deal.
Actually they are edible, I just found out, but it's not possible to eat them in bulk the way you would, say, spinach. Because they are onions.
I'm waiting to get the most out of the lawn guy like stretching a haircut out another 3 weeks.

I'd laugh if the fact that all grass is edible was suppressed by the evil lawnmowing industrial complex.
It is really inconvenient of God that it is not.
Well, they did get a post-breakup reconcilement scene in Fair Trade where they apparently came to terms. But, it just didn't make the final cut.
I know it's an opinion that appears to be only slightly held, but I think the sweet, dainty, delicate image and persona usually ascribed to Kes is simply inaccurate, even in a surface perception kind of sense. From the beginning she displayed an unwavering strength of conviction and purpose. Her determination was nigh to indomitable even if expressed quietly and without dramatic animation.
Her fixedness on a goal was unerring even if she might not have known how it was going to be ultimately reached. Even when she was out of her depth in technical knowledge of the specifics of a situation, she was able to make compelling arguments that influenced others, as on the Doctor's behalf in Eye of the Needle and the Swarm. To say nothing of the job she did on Tuvix in Resolutions. She displayed fearlessness and focus in what to me is an intriguing passage when she is reasoning with the Doc as Hyde, in Darkling.
No, I think she was extremely tough and resourceful as things were. It just seems that the combination of Jennifer Lien's appearance, presence, and mien, amongst other factors, made it easy for people to fail to see it.
I thought you could eat it but don't really digest it? It's not like anyone has come up with juicing it either.
Onion grass, though edible, has a kind of pongy element to it that you don't get in shallots etc.. But it's nice to know that if I ever was stranded on a desert island with no other onion or garlic sources I could use it.
As to Kes and the whole tougher than she looks thing.. sure. Technically this is true. But for some reason it just didn't turn her into an awesome character.
It put her in the upper echelon on Voyager. With better writing, great things were possible. I can't say the same for the likes of Kim, Chakotay, Neelix... but I'm starting to sound like a broken record there.
Hurray for the Doctor/Robert Picardo! He shines all the brighter for all the dullness around him.

Some of it does come down to personal taste. Kes is not the kind of character I like, so I don't like her 
My favorites are Janeway, 7 of 9 and the EMH. But the only one I actually dislike is Kes and repeat viewings have raised her from 2nd least favorite Trek character to "meh" which is quite a rise in esteem.
I'm neutral on Tuvok and Torres. Neither has ever made much of an impression on me, though in both cases I chalk that more up to the writing than the acting. Neelix and Seven I have found alternately endearing and enraging. I don't think I've liked Harry Kim or Chakotay, though both have had good or half-decent episodes built around ("Timeless" and "Ashes to Ashes" aren't bad for the former, "Initiations" and... "Timeless" again, I guess, for the latter).
