oooovverrr
board.
Crusher, Tasha, Troi, Dax, Kira, Ezri, Janeway and Kes all were well-rounded characters. They didnt need to overplay them. They were all pretty, yes, but they had OTHER TALENTS which were MUCH MORE IMPORTANT than their looks. Hoshie seems like an attempt to do this again, but instead she's simply recieved a lack of air time. Hoshi's the sweet, cute girl next door, and for reason, that no longer cuts it on Trek. She was an interesting character, but like Mayweather, she's now more of a set dressing. At least she isnt a prop, being used by other characeters...
At least Hoshi gets to have decendants, unlike Reed...[/color
