Inspired by a Facebook post...
PNQ: What character from the episode "Lower Decks" would've worked best as a main character in Voyager, like some of the rumors said?
Exclude Taurik/Vorik, of course.
I liked Ogawa, but Kes and Doc had the medical aspect locked down. Sure, Ogawa would've been useful as a recurring character but would the actress have agreed to continue for seven more years as only a recurring character?
Lavelle and Paris would've been redundant. Then again, it would've been a useful growing experience for Tom to see the younger, more immature version of himself.
Ben and Neelix wouldn't have meshed well, plus I'm sure Voyager is too small to need a waiter. Then again, it would've been interesting to see the perspective of a non-Starfleet Federation citizen. Would the Maquis have tried to sway him, would the memory of Sito have colored his opinion?
Sito would've been very useful. How betrayed would she feel learning that Seska was really a Cardassian?
