no one would really care if her character was gone anyways
Really? So the character doesn't have any fans out there? None? That's incredibly dismissive.
And I would argue that it does have everything to do with her being female. The whole reason the show is in this position is for treating its female characters like interchangeable crap. While it's fine to shrug it off by saying that we are a sexist society, I'd bet a significant part of why the women (including Seaver) had such low Q scores in the first place is because they were given fuck-all to do by the writers.
