VOY - Virtuoso

This forum is for discussing Chuck's videos as they are publicly released. And for bashing Neelix, but that's just repeating what I already said.

He was voted into the 50 Most Beautiful People by the People Magazine in 1997. When the producers decided to axe a character, Wang being voted into that list made the difference between him and Jennifer Lien.

Honestly though, cutting Wang is generally a bad idea, no matter the circumstances.
He is so bland and if fans put with all that bad VOY they would have watched it no matter what.

What difference would cutting him make? Beltran was more charismatic anyways. Give him Wang's screentime.

Humans weren't allowed to be charismatic or interesting on that show.

It was a state law.

80's in tone though. I'll accept that it is a precursor to the 90's with her being a prostitute. Like a cousin to Working Girl. It's as if the 80's produced it and let the 90's direct it.

Bull. Harry as presented added nothing to the show. I'm not saying he couldn't have been done differently or that Wang is inherently bad, but Kes had far more potential as a character and I personally liked her a lot more.

Damn People magazine....

Well I read on Quora that they officially made decisions to give the show more sex appeal. Thinking about what's being said here, that's consistent. Though either way I think we can all consider Quora as legitimate authority on topics.

I think Jennifer added more sex appeal, especially in Season 3.

I'll allow it, though there's room for debate as far as conventions hold.
