NO those are just the ones the "fans" say killed Star Trek but we've heard that song before many times over many years

I didn't particularly like Kes. I am on my rewatch of DS9 so I'll come back later & for TNG: I'd say Yar because she wasn't used to her full potential. ENT: I need to rewatch so I can decide. VOY: I hate to say this, but I did not like Harry.
I do think they could have done a lot more with Yar in later seasons. A long term Yar-Data relationship might have been part of it maybe.
Ent: Supposedly there is a character named Mayweather but this has never been proven, to my knowledge.
Who?
Yar was hurt mostly by the crapola writing of S1. I was disappointed when she slipped on that banana peel.
-Cries petulantly like Malcom Reed in any given scene, at what might have been-
Never heard of 'm.
I HATE Harry! It's not a race thing. (I'm Asian.) But what exactly did Harry Kim bring to Voyager? Besides being an insufferable snot? I am okay with Kes. And Yar. As long as you delete Harry and Travis.
Now. I know how this sounds. The one Asian guy and the afro-american. Still. I hate Harry Kim and Travis Mayweather. They did nothing to the story. (Although zero gravity was cool.)
I'm not Trump. I'm Trekkie.
Maybe I've overlooked it, but I've never seen anyone claim J.J. Abrams killed Star Trek. They may not like his movies, but they did good box office and at least somewhat led to Trek coming back in streaming form. I don't think there's any way you could argue he killed the franchise. And I don't think, creatively, he gets the hate that Kurtzman does either.
Now, Kurtzman. That's a different story. Yes, there is tons of hate directed at him and plenty of accusations that he has killed Trek. But Abrams?
Every Trek series has to have at least one insufferable snot. In TOS, it was Spock. In TNG, it was Picard. Etc. Some insufferable snots just get liked by the fans more than others.
Nah Kes was far more useless than Harry.
Harry role was the naive newbie.
Kes didn't add anything except something for nelix to perv over
I don't hate Kes, I liked her more than Harry at any rate. I didn't like what they did to her character in her last episode, I thought she left the show on a good note and they didn't need to bring her back as grumpy/evil Kes.
I'd second every one of these, took the words right out of my mouth. Or keyboard.
To list one character that I do actually hate, I'd say the Borg Queen. The actresses did a fine job, no shade on them, but I hated the very concept of a Borg Queen and felt it undermined the threat and intimidation of the Borg. Their whole point was they had no leaders, no weakpoints to target, no individuals to negotiate with or outsmart, just a hive mind army that wouldn't stop unless they were all taken out. But that made them too hard to write and deal with, so ... Borg Queen. Bleh. She just never compared to that chilling moment in BoBW when those collective voices declare "Self-determination is irrelevant. Death is irrelevant."
I mean I would bet money if I had any that "There's a lid for every pot." is not true, and would offer myself as proof of that. If I live to be a hundred I'll still be single. If anything I find characters that either remain single or only have failed relationships to be relatable and comforting. Yeah I'm a bitter envious person, what of it?

Um...no.
