I know the answer...

...for her apparent "weight gain problems".

Have you seen Woody Allen's Zelig? The title character is a "human chameleon" who always adapts to his surroundings. When among Jews, he becomes Jewish, among African Americans, he becomes black, etc.

Now, what if Jennifer Lien is a similar "human chameleon"? We've only seen photographs of her being fat on STAR TREK CONVENTIONS. When she is among STAR TREK FANS...

(Okay, of course just joking. Otherwise, I'm a huge admirer of Ms. Lien both as a woman and as an actress. I always thought it was a huge pity to let her go and replace her with Jeri Ryan. And I always prefered Kes over 7 of 9 in every term. My young adolescent years conincided with her appearance on Voyager. I consider myself lucky... )
