fWotD Episode 2662: Kes (Star Trek) Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 18 August 2024 is Kes (Star Trek).Kes is a fictional character played by Jennifer Lien on the American science fiction television show Star Trek: Voyager. The series follows the crew of the starship USS Voyager, stranded far from home and struggling to get back to Earth. Kes joins the crew in the pilot episode "Caretaker", opening an aeroponics garden and working as the medical assistant to the artificial intelligence known as the Doctor. She is a member of a telepathic alien species known as the Ocampa who have latent psychic abilities and a life span of only nine years. Her storylines focus on encouraging the Doctor to develop his humanity and dealing with her Talaxian boyfriend Neelix's jealousy. She also seeks to expand upon her mental capabilities, leaving in the fourth season after her powers threaten to destroy the ship. She reappears in a season six episode and features in Star Trek: Voyager novels and short stories. Voyager's creators Rick Berman, Michael Piller, and Jeri Taylor designed Kes to be a rapidly-aging character who would provide audiences with a different perspective on time. Although Kes is portrayed as fragile and innocent, she is also shown as having hidden strength and maturity. Voyager's producers reluctantly fired Lien after her personal issues affected her reliability on set. At the time, this was not openly discussed and her departure was attributed to other reasons; these ranged from Lien voluntarily leaving to pursue other roles to her being removed to make room for Jeri Ryan's introduction as Seven of Nine.Kes was a fan favorite character while Voyager was airing, although critics reacted more negatively, finding her boring and without a clear purpose. Lien was praised for her performance, which was highlighted in reviews of individual episodes. Kes's age was the subject of critical discussion, questioning if she was too young to be dating Neelix. Lien's removal from Voyager received mixed reviews from critics; some preferred the addition of Seven of Nine while others were disappointed by this casting change. Reviewers and fans disliked her return in the season six episode "Fury", which some media outlets called one of the worst moments in the Star Trek franchise. Academics have analyzed Kes's representation of femininity, her relationship with Captain Kathryn Janeway, and her mental abilities.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:37 UTC on Sunday, 18 August 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Kes (Star Trek) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Stephen.

When Burlap Kes shows back up on Voyager, time travel is her motivation for a trip down memory lane. But when Prime Kes convinces herself that she wasn't groomed by Captain Janeway, she finally warms up to the idea of returning home. Which planet has the slowest orbit around its star? Why aren't Vidiians interested in Ocampa guts? What do plants in the airponics bay crave? It's the episode that has a few new security measures to suggest.Support the production of The Greatest Generation.Friends of DeSoto for Democracy.Friends of DeSoto for Justice.

It's two time travel stories this week where a lot of stuff doesn't actually make a lot of sense. But it really doesn't matter in "Parallax", since it's really about Janeway and Torres becoming best friends. And it doesn't matter in "Time and Again" because ultimately the episode never happened! Also this week: Ocampa issues, inexplicable Arabic numerals, and kerning!

Liz and Anika talk about Kes, a character we loved more than Voyager's writers did. Kes did not even get an entry in her own right in the Voyager character bible We swore we weren't going to use Kes's episode to talk about Neelix, but seriously: why is Neelix? In fact, why are all Kes's stories about men? Anika's home for wayward narratives How Soji is Kes 2.0 Everyone is wrong about Elogium except Liz (okay, and Anika) We had to cut a long discussion about how great Tuvok is because THIS IS NOT AN EPISODE ABOUT THE MEN IN KES'S LIFE Any situation which can be compared with the end of Breaking Dawn is probably bad Fury hits REALLY differently now we know more about Lien's departure COSTUMING, including our '90s aesthetics and a terrible quote from costumer Robert Blackman Episodes to watch: Elogium (an episode about Neelix deciding if he's ready for Kes to have a baby) Cold Fire (an episode about a guy recruiting Kes for his cult) Warlord (a man possesses Kes's body) Darkling (the Doctor is very concerned about Kes falling in love) Before and After (it's actually about Kes! Just don't think too much about Ocampa and human co-existence…) The Gift (an episode about Seven of Nine where Kes decides it's time to leave Voyager) Fury (but don't feel like you actually have to watch it to listen to this episode, Liz certainly didn't bother)
This week, we revisit Star Trek! We made our way from the newest Star Trek series, Lower Decks, and have worked our way back to this week's episode, Voyager. Riker, our resident Trekkie, introduces Schmee to Star Trek: Voyager (Netflix/Paramount+) with just the pilot episode, "Caretaker" (technically a two-parter). We discuss how effectively the pilot established the genre for the show, introduced the characters, presented the plot for the season/series to come, and hooked us to watch more. Live long and prosper! Twitter: @PilotsThePod | Facebook: www.facebook.com/PilotsThePodcast | Instagram: www.instagram.com/pilotsthepodcast/ Check out our website at www.PilotsThePodcast.com.
The Trekkie gals are back on Voyager, this time with an injured Neelix having to cope with the possibility of being bed-bound for the rest of his life. Erin wonders how Neelix can live with an Ocampa lung that's only viable for eight years, Magen wonders how a disease can go uncurred by a medically advanced species for 2,000 years, and Sarah realizes that Neelix and Kes are a couple for the first time.To leave comments/feedback, use one of these links:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tribblesandtransportersInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tribblesandtransporterspodcastTwitter: https://twitter.com/tribblespodcastGMail: tribblesandtransporters@gmail.comEpisode timestamps:00:01:38 - Intro00:03:49 - Podcast episode breakdown00:04:26 - Star Trek music challenge00:06:50 - "Phage" recap00:07:07 - What do you think?00:09:59 - Quiz time!00:24:22 - "Phage" production details00:28:54 - "Phage" guest stars00:30:27 - "Phage" episode discussion01:12:57 - Listener Feedback01:13:45 - On the next episode...You can also listen here:Website: tribblespodcast.comThanks for listening!

I need to start editing and uploading these the same day as when we record them because I have no real memory of what this episode was about.... I think it was about Kes becoming a mind demon and there's another Ocampa doing stuff and a space witch.... sure, that sounds about right! Also, there is definitely 10 minutes of Rupaul's Drag Race UK talk at the beginning.... so.... enjoy that! I haven't listened back to the episode because I want it to be a surprise.... I do this for me!

Mosaic. When it comes to Star Trek books, few fans consider them canon. It’s understandable, especially with novels written during the run of a series on television. But sometimes a book comes along that almost has to be taken as canon because of who wrote it. During Voyager’s third season, series co-creator Jeri Taylor penned the back story of Captain Janeway in Mosaic. As the creator of the character, no one was more qualified to tell us how Kathryn went from a child in Bloomington, Indiana, to captain of a starship lost in the Delta Quadrant. In this episode of Literary Treks, hosts Matthew Rushing and Christopher Jones are joined by Charlynn Schmiedt of To The Journey to discuss Mosaic, the portrayal of Janeway as a child, student, and young woman, what drives her to help the Ocampa and protect her crew at all costs, and, of course, Jeri Taylor’s obsession with hair. In our news segment we take a look at new blurbs for Sacraments of Fire and Seekers 3, and we judge John Jackson Miller’s Takedown by its cover.

Kes. Our next character analysis takes us to the lovely underground home of the Ocampa and its gift to Voyager, Kes. In this episode of To The Journey as we explore the pixie’s life from her introduction in “Caretaker” to her departure in “The Gift.” All of us agree we love her spirit and taste for exploration, and that the writers of Voyager should have used her more often. Char loves her dishing out the snark to the Doctor, Tristan loves her backwards kangaroo maternity clothes, and Lorrie thinks her telekinetic powers should have been used to do cooler things that just melting Tuvok’s face. What did you like about Kes?
Fury Rewrite. Kes was a sweet, kindhearted, loving little sprite when she left Voyager—and then came the episode “Fury.” We couldn’t let our girl go out like that, so this week we each salvage or totally rewrite the agony we saw onscreen. Char decides Kes needs to go all Al Gore in Ocampa, Tristan hooks her up with “man unknown,” and Lorrie uses the “Bob Newhart” approach. What would you have done with the hot mess that was “Fury”?
While attempting to make contact with the Caretaker’s mate (who may have the ability to send Voyager home), the crew discovers a colony of Ocampa whose representative has an interest in Kes and helping her explore her telepathic powers.
