Puberty hit hard for some of us, when STV introduced this endearing yet aloof ex-borg.

    Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix Zero One. Annika Hansen.

    I loved Voyager before she showed up but after she showed up it cemented Voyager as my favorite Trek until Lower Decks came out. She is such a great actor and the way she gains her humanity back is such a treat to watch. And now with her in Picard we get to see her being even more human and I just love it. Hope we get more of her in one of the new shows but none are in her timeframe right now.

      Yes! I’m not a huge Trek fan, but Seven’s origin story and coming to terms is a huge motivating factor for my plans to rewatch the series soon.

      I can’t point to anything specific but wanted to add I’m fairly certain she gave a ton of Borg lore which I’m sure we mostly appreciated. Not all the Borg lore is great but they were pretty unknown outside Voyager and First Contact. I can see why some fans didn’t like that (unknown always makes for an interesting foe), but lore is fun to get into. Personally Next Generation is my favorite and they ended up doing a lot of Borg stuff during their run, but still a great character and enjoyed the Borg stuff in Star Trek Online (not cannon I know).

        Glad you asked. Jeri Ryan was married to John Ryan, a well known Illinois politician running for Senate. In fact, he was such a shoe in that Democrats ran a big ear fella in his first state wide race.

        Then they got divorced, and it got messy. Seems like he was forcing her to go to sex clubs. This was before Trump and right before the election. With this news, the voters decided to put the big eared fella in the Senate seat. Which he soon turned into the Presidency. Jeri went to Hollywood and got a TV gig.

        A good story.

          geezes, in today’s political environment that “scandal” would not even hit the top ten :)

    Seven is fine, but I was way way way more interested in B’elanna Torres. Probably because Roxanne Dawson was a better actor, and because the character had a lot more heart and depth, and was still smokin

    I really did not like how Kes (Jennifer Lien) was written out so they could have a Borg Character. Nothing against Jeri Ryan, but the idea of Kes type Alien was intriguing. Then when they brought her back as a god like character even made the concept for Kes worse.
