I love Claudia Black, too, at least as much as Fillion, if not moreso. Her appearance in Stargate was basically the only thing keeping me watching the show at that point. Tess Everis was removed to make features that fans have been requesting for ever. She wasn't removed because she was a woman; she was removed because of necessity and because Tess would be redundant with the new collection systems.

The kiosk features and Tess' character have got nothing whatsoever to do with one another. If anything perhaps the mistake was casting her in such a minor, menial role in the first place, but as I'm suggesting-- that's actually part of the problem!

How can you say that the two have nothing to do with one another? You don't know that. In fact, given the situation of extremely tight resources and the need to add more memory using features the most logical answer is to remove something. The removal of Tess was the most logical answer as the role she served was handled by some of the replacing features.
