Kes Star Trek was a threat to the ocampa way of life who rebelled against their god and society so that they could leave the garden of Eden that they had been trapped in for hundreds of years. She wanted excitement, freedom, and knowledge more than anything else and then she became trapped on a ship with a bunch of people who also refused to acknowledge her agency as a person because her life span was shorter than theirs. This is what her episodes should have been about, about the dissonance between being an incredibly competent person and her perceived innocence, but nooooo they had to make all her episodes be about how boys are fighting over her.

And I do think a main problem is that it is hard to write an episode for a character who has already achieved her main goal by the end of the first episode, and it is only compacted by the fact that no matter how many times they decided to go with a “beautiful young woman wise beyond her years” character they didn’t know how to actually portray what that would be like since it is so alien most people have no frame of reference for what that would be. AND I don’t think they ever got to the point where they were writing her like a person and not like a ~woman~ before they wrote her off. But WHATEVER

tma is a show which spends the first 100 episodes going "look at these monsters. aren't they fucked up. yeah and they're all so happy being monsters who hurt people monstrously" and then the protagonist who you've spent hours listening to at this point becomes one of those fucked up monsters, forcing you to either dismiss him as evil or you have to fully change how you view all the previous monsters. and then they spend the next 100 episodes dealing with that

nothing provides more relief then finding out that Tuvix isn't the ship tuvok x neelix that is somehow popular enough that everyone talks about, but is instead an episode demonstrating that everything that includes neelix ends up being horrible.

went on a long walk outside the other day and i carry acorns with me for the express purpose of feeding squirrels and on the way back a squirrel bounded up to me and stopped in front of me waiting for an acorn. 10/10 would recommend taking walks and feeding squirrels, watching them eat them is also adorable.
