To The Journey 135: Nerd Herd Immunity

The Season Four "Replacement." In the summer hiatus of 1997, fans were on edge after viewing part one of the explosive "Scorpion" cliffhanger. With the news of a main cast member making an exit, fans did not know what to think. It was not known who was leaving until Season Four drew closer and Paramount revealed that Jennifer Lien (Kes) was being replaced by another actress.  Picture yourself in the writer's room and you are creating the new character who will debut in Season Four. What sort of character do you create? Char and Tristan play with this hypothetical scenario in this episode of To The Journey.   Hosts Tristan Riddell and Charlynn Schmiedt   Editor Tristan Riddell   Producer Charlynn Schmiedt   Executive Producers Norman C.
