'assets' that I think in some ways got in the way of telling her story.  Then again, Voyager's cast never seemed to gel the way the others did.And I do regret not keeping up with DS9.  It seems that near the end, they finally got it in there head that ongoing storylines that change things over time is a GOOD thing, but by then, I could never catch it regularly and I was missing a ton of backstory. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
