So I read the article, and I’m not really getting how the headline is intended to align with the content…? The piece is about how Kes’s character was important in the shows initial seasons for helping to develop most of the rest of the cast into something approaching the final forms of their character… but I don’t see anything about how Seven “needed” to be replaced.
I think it's just a poorly constructed sentence - the show needed the important character [that] seven replaced
Your title is much more fitting. I went into the article thinking McNeil was going to be talking bad about Seven as a character or Jeri as an actor. But it was praising Kes and Lein.
