History Recap / StarTrekVoyagerS3E9Warlord

* DiscountLesbians: Tieran ''almost'' kisses Nori in Kes's body and still behaves as if he has romantic interest in her even though he is a man's mind inside of a woman's body. Nori admits that his new body really complicates her feelings about their marriage.

* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: Tieran rants over how he was abandoned on the streets by his mother because he was assumed to be too sickly to survive.

%%* GetOut

* LastSecondWordSwap: Kes Tieran re [[ShipperOnDeck Tuvok/Kes]].

* ShipSinking: Kes breaks up with Neelix, but because it happened under Tieran's influence, it took several episodes before the audience realised they were no longer an OfficialCouple. Given that this is ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'', neither character hooked up with anyone else (despite some Kes/Tuvok ShipTease in this very episode).

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Which is hardly worth mentioning in sci-fi terms, but to Kes, who hasn't reached her third birthday, Tieran is ''ancient'' which makes him even more frightening.

* AlmostKiss: Tieran/Kes is interrupted just as s/he's about to kiss 'his' wife. [[GirlOnGirlIsHot Come on]], if [=DS9=] can do it in "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS04E06Rejoined Rejoined"]], why not Voyager?
* AmbiguouslyBi: Tieran/Kes takes to flirting with and kissing other men ''very'' quickly.

* [[PresidentForLife Autarch For Life]]: Tieran started off as a great military leader who brought stability to a troubled world. Unfortunately, he not only refused to relinquish this power, but he also tried to [[MortalityPhobia achieve immortality]] due to the belief that he was the only man capable of ruling the planet.

* BigNo: Tieran/Kes breaking free of Tuvok's MindMeld.

* DiscountLesbians: Tieran/Kes ''almost'' kisses Nori, and still behaves as if he has romantic interest in her even though he is a man's mind inside of a woman's body.

* EvilSoundsDeep: When Tieran is in control, Kes' voice is ''noticeably'' deeper.

%%* FightingFromTheInside: Kes, and ''what a fight!''

** Not just Kes -- Neelix insists on going on the mission to free her.

* OneManArmy: When launching his coup d'etat, Tieran!Kes bursts into the Imperial Hall and guns down three bodyguards [[KickTheDog plus a couple of servants]].

* WhyDontYouJustShootHim:
** Demmas has little patience with Captain Janeway's attempts to drive Tieran out of Kes with the synaptic stimulator, which has to be pressed against the skin to work. "If I could get anywhere near her, I'd use a thoron rifle [[ItsTheOnlyWayToBeSure to be absolutely sure]]."
** Tieran averts this trope by shooting the previous Autarch without wasting time on EvilGloating.

* AlmostKiss: Tieran Kes is interrupted just as s/he's about to kiss 'his' wife. [[GirlOnGirlIsHot Come on]], if [=DS9=] can do it in "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS04E06Rejoined Rejoined"]], why not Voyager?
* AmbiguouslyBi: Tieran takes to flirting with and kissing other men ''very'' quickly.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Tieran tells Ameron he's taking over as Autarch. When Ameron says that his elder brother is the rightful heir, Tieran asks, "How many times have people said the very same thing to you?"
* [[PresidentForLife Autarch For Life]]: Tieran started off as a great military leader who brought stability to a troubled world. Unfortunately he not only refused to relinquish this power, he tried to [[MortalityPhobia achieve immortality]] in the belief that he was the only man capable of ruling the planet.

* BattleDiscretionShot: The offscreen battle between ''Voyager'' in alliance with Demmas' forces, vs the forces supporting Tieran. We only see the action once Janeway and the others beam into the Imperial Hall.
* BeneathTheMask: Given that Kes breaks up with Neelix permanently, the implication is that Kes Tieran was saying what Kes was secretly thinking about their relationship.

* BigNo: Tieran breaking free of Tuvok's MindMeld.

* CurbStompBattle: Offscreen. With ''Voyager'' assisting Demmas' fleet, Tieran's own ships are hopelessly outmatched. ''Voyager'' is able to smash through them and start landing troops within ''minutes'' of the battle beginning.

* DiscountLesbians: Tieran Kes ''almost'' kisses Nori, and still behaves as if he has romantic interest in her even though he is a man's mind inside of a woman's body.
* DressingAsTheEnemy: Tuvok tries to get close to Tieran by dressing as one of his FacelessGoons, but Kes Tieran recognises his thoughts from their sessions on ''Voyager''.
* DutchAngle: During the Kes/Tieran mental-battle.

* {{Fanservice}}: ''Chez Sandrine'' is replaced by Neelix's ''Paxau Resort'' program (with HotterAndSexier modifications by Tom, Harry and B'Elanna), all so the audience can see the cast in speedos, plus some gratuitous {{Fanservice Extra}}s.
* FemaleGaze: Neelix worries that B'Elanna might not like his new holodeck program. what with all the babes Harry and Tom added. She replies that she's made her own additions, whereupon a handsome, well-muscled masseur in [[BriefsBoasting tiny shorts]] [[YouMustBeCold drapes a towel around her neck]].

* ForcefulKiss: After taunting Tuvok over his desires for Kes, Tieran Kes grabs him for a passionate snog, which is a mistake because it enables Tuvok to MindMeld with Kes.

* HighCollarOfDoom: The Autarch's symbol of office is a metal collar. Immediately after gunning down the previous Autarch, Tieran Kes takes the collar from his corpse and puts it around her own throat, bringing this trope into play.

* EvilCostumeSwitch: Once Tieran takes power, Kes changes into a [[EvilWearsBlack black]] [[EvilIsSexy catsuit]] that would make MirrorUniverse Kira proud.

* EvilIsHammy + EvilIsSexy: OhMyGods yes -- Jennifier Lien swaggers, vamps and rants at everyone in sight.

* FightingFromTheInside: Kes, and ''what a fight!''

* GetOut

* BloodFromEveryOrifice: And given that the Ilarians have more than the usual number of nasal orifices for a PsychicNosebleed, it can get rather messy.

* EvilIsHammy / EvilIsSexy: OhMyGods yes -- Jennifier Lien swaggers, vamps and rants at everyone in sight.

* CallBack: Tom says "Some day you're going to show me how to do that" after watching Tuvok give the [[PressurePoint Vulcan nerve-pinch]] to a guard. The same comment was made by Kirk to Spock in "The Omega Glory". Their [[SaltAndPepper working together]] is also a CallBack to "Future's End".

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Neelix on the holodeck. And what big spotted feet he has, grandma!

* YouGotSpunk
-->'''Kes Tieran:''' I can feel her in the back of my mind somewhere like a trapped animal, rattling her cage. She's a lot of spirit. It's invigorating.

* ShipSinking: Kes breaks up with Neelix, but because it happened under Tieran's influence, it [[RelationshipWritingFumble took several episodes before the audience realised]] they were no longer an OfficialCouple. Given that this is ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'', neither character hooked up with anyone else (despite some Kes/Tuvok ShipTease in this very episode).

[[caption-width-right:350:Hell yeah, Evil!Kes. Actually, it's a BodySnatcher, and a male one at that.]]

* AlmostKiss: Tieran!Kes is interrupted just as s/he's about to kiss 'his' wife. [[GirlOnGirlIsHot Come on]], if [=DS9=] can do it in "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS04E06Rejoined Rejoined"]], why not Voyager?

* LastSecondWordSwap: Kes!Tieran re [[ShipperOnDeck Tuvok/Kes]].

** And with Tieran!Kes himself; s/he's going around the Imperial Hall [[EvilIsHammy tearing down wall hangings and smashing vases]]...until s/he comes to a flower vase. As Kes keeps FightingFromTheInside, these lapses in behaviour become more obvious.

* NotSoStoic: Tieran!Kes is able to slip past Tuvok's mental barriers and read the emotions beneath his urbane Vulcan exterior -- embarrassment over having failed his mission, concern about her advanced mental powers, anger (which she identifies as Tuvok's FatalFlaw), and (she suggests) [[HotForStudent desire for her]].

-->'''Kes!Tieran:''' You and I haven't had a chance to get acquainted. I'm Tieran.\\

'''Kes!Tieran:''' ''(smirks)'' I like the way you say that.

* [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld Really Over Two Hundred Years Old]]: Which is hardly worth mentioning in sci-fi terms, but to Kes, who hasn't reached her third birthday, Tieran is ''ancient'' which makes him even more frightening.
* RedShirt: The transporter chief is killed by Tieran!Kes during her escape.

* ShipTease: Tieran!Kes tries to seduce Tuvok, suggesting that with all those times sharing Kes' mind in their private sessions, [[TeacherStudentRomance he must have come to desire her]].

-->'''Kes!Tieran:''' You'd be surprised how often I've heard that.

-->'''Kes!Tieran:''' [[NotHimself Let them go.]]

-->'''Kes!Tieran:''' I can feel her in the back of my mind somewhere like a trapped animal, rattling her cage. She's a lot of spirit. It's invigorating.

* CurbStompBattle: Offscreen. With ''Voyager'' assisting Demmas' fleet, Tieran's out ships are hopelessly outmatched. ''Voyager'' is able to smash through them and start landing troops within ''minutes'' of the battle beginning.

* DecapitatedArmy: Why Janeway wants to concentrate her efforts on removing Tieran from Kes; it will avoid ''Voyager'' having to take sides in a CivilWar (Voyager takes sides anyway, but the producers keep that [[BattleDiscretionShot carefully offscreen]]).

* TheDeterminator: Kes. Not even a BodySnatcher can stop Kes from being a BadassAdorable.

* [[PresidentForLife Autarch For Life]]: Tieran started off as a great military leader who brought stability to a troubled world. Unfortunately he not only refused to relinquish this power, he tried to achieve immortality in the belief that he was the only man capable of ruling the planet.

** And with Tieran!Kes himself; s/he's [[EvilIsHammy going around his the Imperial Hall tearing down wall hangings and smashing vases]]...until s/he comes to a flower vase. As Kes keeps FightingFromTheInside, these lapses in behaviour become more obvious.

* SecondLawOfGenderBending: Tieran finds that possessing an attractive female body gives him a useful weapon in the struggle for power. He even announces a political marriage to Ameron, then strongly implies to his {{squicked}}-out wife Nori that he'd be [[AThreesomeIsHot quite interested in a threesome]].
