10 Star Trek Characters That Just VANISHED

This writer wants to share a little bit of guilt here, as some of the comments made on the Ups and Downs episode for Wedding Bell Blues may have played a role in losing someone a job! Ok, that’s very unlikely, as the third season of Strange New Worlds had been produced long before it began airing, so the rants about those ‘pints’ of Guinness probably had nothing to do with her disappearance. 

In saying that, disappear Kelzing did. She was stationed on Starbase One, serving drinks with all three arms, for the wedding reception/centenary celebration that had been hijacked by Trelane. There, she impressed Captain Pike and Number One so much that they both felt she’d be perfect for a posting on the Enterprise. 

The ship was equipped with several galleys and bars (which, by the way, has been one of the best inclusions in this version of the ship), so there was clearly the space for her to do her thing. 

We can only assume that she was always doing her thing in the other room from wherever we were, as she was never seen again. There is of course the possibility that she simply didn’t take Pike up on the offer, and she is still slinging drinks at Starbase One - hopefully Klingon-free these days. 

If she did take them up on the post, perhaps she took a quick break, and may return in the show’s fourth season. We are talking about an alien with three arms and a dazzling smile - anything is possible here.
