Kes (Jennifer Lien) could have been an awesome Star Trek: Voyager character if Jennifer Lien hadn’t left the show in season 4. True, Kes has a reputation as an underwhelming character whose 9-year lifespan trapped Voyager writers in a narrative corner, but there are hints in Voyager‘s early seasons that there was more to Kes than what we saw. And what we saw wasn’t all bad, either: Kes was kind, curious, and eager to spend her short life exploring the galaxy with the USS Voyager crew. Most interestingly, Kes’ burgeoning telepathic ability promised a darker side to the young Ocampa.
