I mean in other series they killed Jadiza Dax, Task Yar, and finally Tucker in Enterprise.
Why didn't they kill off Kes?
- Thread starter SailorLadyGaga
- Start date
Maybe it had to do with the actors. Denise and Teri had both asked to leave their shows. Jennifer Lien didn't ask to leave they just didn't renew her contract.
They were going to kill Harry off.

Well, they did assassinate her character in "Fury." Close enough?
^ Same could be said of Chakotay and Kim, not to mention Archer.
I would say the same about Kes
In my opinion the first season of TNG on the whole was cringe worthy
I saw 'twisted' a few days ago. In it, Kes gets to blow out the candles on her birthday cake and do a wish, though she is warned to no one tell anyone what that wish is.
With the events of Fury in mind, I had this involuntary dark fantasy of her doing a wish involving the Vidiians harvesting the crew's organs, and her eyes gleaming red for just an instant, only to be missed by the people around her ...
But yeah, supernatural or dead doesn't really matter, it's about the same in Trek. Both mean the character won't be a regular anymore, but still can show up every now and then (Kes, Tasha, Wesley, Seska).
If only they hadn't make her show up the way they did in Fury, I would have been happier about the matter. At least, when "Tasha" returned as antagonist, it wasn't really her, but her daughter that was half-Romulan.

True, didn't think about that.
Still, the character Tasha didn't become "corrupted" by that retcon like the Kes character did, she merely met a very bad fate (if I were given the choice of either becoming a sex slave or death on the spot, I might have chosen the first as well, even though it isn't consistent with her heroic choice earlier. Come to think of it, it isn't particularly consistent with the events of Tash' own earlier life... didn't she grow up on a planet with rape gangs, so that she'd probably rather would have chosen death? )

Oh yes, so true (a finger proudly made to fans)! :-(
They shouldn't have killed of Tasha Yar.
They shouldn't have killed off Jadzia Dax
And they should't neithe have killed of Kes, nor ruined her as they did in that insulting s**t episode in season 6.
However, if I really have to give those in charge some credit after all, then it is for not killing off Kes, thus giving constructive people like me a possibility to explain and re-edit certain things and keep the character alive for new adventures!

Keep in mind that she made that deal because a Romulan General became enamored with her and offered her to spare the other survivors in exchange for being his consort. She basically surrendered herself to a fate she thought would be worse than death because of what she saw during her childhood in order to save other lives.
Her character wasn't further 'corrupted'. Her heroism was reinforced.
Blackmail, bondage and sexual assault
My words were what Sela used when she was explaining her backstory to Picard in "Redemption II".
I just watched that episode. Very odd. Where did this idea come from that Voyager's crew "abandoned" Kes? As I recall, when Kes leaves it's her decision. She then shows up in a small ship a few years later, beams over to Voyager, goes on a rampage, etc, etc. No explanation at all of how and why Kes changed and decided to take revenge on Voyager.
