The only flaw in your argument, spelling aside , is that ST does kill off characters that they fire. Denise Crosby was fired for racy photos she had taken prior to her getting hired, and they KILLED Tasha Yar for it.

Which is so ironic because Jeri Ryan and Jolene Blalock were hired in part BECAUSE of the prurient interests of a certain demographic. Sure they're good actresses but I'm sure a flat chested Vulcan wouldn't have given rubdowns to Trip.
Now I really wanna know more dish about Jennifer Lien on Voyager. After some interviews with other Trek people where they slip up and spill a bit, it really does look like a 'hey Jeri nothing personal but Jennifer got screwed and we'd rather have been with the same dynamic as before when a female borg wasn't saving us from any and all problems human and mechanical.'
So glad to know Terry's not the one who ended it the way it ended. I was always kind of shocked thinking that she caused it somehow. I maintain she and Bashir should've gotten togetherso not fair. I don't care if she WAS dating Michael Dorn. Bashir/Jadzia was like Kim/Seventhey weren't about to let the guy get the girl in either scenario although they tossed Bashir a bone. -

The thing is, you need chemistry between characters. Kim istoo week for strong Seven. Seven would've been perfect for Tom, but he was already with Bellana. Chakotay on the other hand, was perfect for Janeway. On Voyager, both Kim & Liehn wer4e the weakest characters, because both were boring. Kim was weaker than Kess though. Seven was a good addition to Voyager, as a girl, I liked the concept of a borg reassimilating back into individuality. Ryan was also a very good actress.

To answer your question regarding Jen Lien who played Kes on
Voyager
.
Most people don't realize this but the producers had fully intended to keep her on as a regular beyond season 3. In fact it was Garrett Wang (who played the annoying Harry Kim) who was to get the boot from the show. The season 3 finale saw his character more or less on his deathbed and writers were going to off him in the season 4 premiere. Now, that summer Wang ended up on one of those 'Most Beautiful People In The World' lists. I wanna say it was
Entertainment Weekly
. Anyway, Wang got quite a bit of publicity for appearing on this list and the producers decided it unwise to let him ago amidst all the attention. Thus it was decided rather last minute that Lien would be unceremoniously fired and Wang would get to keep his job. So, by the end of the season 4 premiere, Jeri Ryan was fully installed as a regular, Wang was miraculously resurrected, and in the second episode of the season Lien was sent packing.
When it's all said and done I suppose this is yet another unfortunate tale of a
Trek
actor being removed from a series for all the wrong rea5b4sons.

Denise Crosby decided to quit because they weren't giving her character any good scripts, and she only got out of her contract because Gene Roddenberry went to bat for her. Wherever did you hear that she was fired?

Denise Crosby appeared in Playboy in 1979. When she left Star Trek, Playboy reprinted the pictures with some more recent promo shots to capitalize on her departure.
She never posed nude for Playboy during her time as Tasha Yar. -

They did, dont even try to bring facts to some of these posters. They seem to want to have Paramount fire her, that way, they have someone to blame for "ruining their life", although if a character on a tv show is killed off and that ruins your life, I dont think you had a life to begin with.

Roddenberry, who was very much in control of TNG at the point in which Crosby left, would never have fired her over any published pictures. Roddenberry was very very much liberal in terms of his politics, and his views on sex, and he was very much in charge of the decision-making on the show.
