Jennifer on Voyager?

[RobertScorpio]

I always thought VOYAGER would have come across Jennifer Sisko somehow. I know, had she been assimiated, she would have been on the Borg cube that Locutus was on, and ultimately it was destroyed.

But they could have said something like a few support ships were sent back to the Delta Quadrant or something like that...but I think Voyager's coming across Jennifer (maybe it should have been her instead of Jeri Ryan) would have done two things; created a tie-in between DS9 and Voyager..and brought back that actress who played Jennifer, who I thought was hot in a bikini!!!

What do you think..Jennifer Sisko on Voyager

It would make sense. We didn't really get to know her then in the end, she was turned into a stay at home Mom for Jake so he-man Sisko could run off and save the universe.

Braga seems to have had big issues with women and stereotypes.

She was killed, not assimilated.

I dont know DS9 well enough to know if she was killed or not.

Supposing she was assimilated, then it would be interesting to see her briefly in Voyager, but not to replace my beloved Jeri

So I vote No (but also mean yes in a way, if you get my drift)

 

[RobertScorpio]

She was killed, not assimilated.

How do we know? The Officer who convinced Sisko may have just said that, believing she was going to die anyway, just to get Sisko out of there...

Had she been assimilated it would have opened up so much story possibilities...especially if she had been the Borg character instead of Jeri Ryan.

I'm not sure it would have worked, especially with the un-even writing for Voyager...but you never know. And what would have happened when Voyager made contact with Earth, and Sisko found out Jennifer was still alive, or heck, what would have Jake done? And what about Kassidy? Yes, I know, too much soap opera stuff..but who cares..I LIKE that kind of stuff..

Even if she wasn't dead when the Bolian tactical officer hauled Sisko away from her, the ship was vaporized a couple of minutes later, anyway.

Not a whole lot of time for assimilation.

As to the poll question: no fucking way. ST has enough problems with bringing people back from the dead as it is.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

There's no way Jennifer could have been assimilated. Sisko surely knew she was dead when he went into their quarters; he had time to check for a pulse. If she'd been alive, they could have carried her out - the Bolian could have taken one (either Jennifer or Jake) and Sisko could have carried the other.

Besides, why would the Borg bother assimilating people from a ship they were actively trying to destroy? The risk of the ship's explosion robbing them of the newly minted drones would be too great.

Even so, having Jennifer show up on Voyager as a drone would be pointless anyway, as her character is meaningless without Sisko to relate to her. Nobody from Voyager would recognize her, so dramatically speaking, she'd be useless there.

 

[Navaros]

Jennifer was never much of a character in the first place. Don't really know hardly anything about her as a person other than that she looks good. That's not enough to make a character worthwhile. Given how DS9 hardly did anything with her, putting her on Voyager wouldn't have had much point.

How do we know?

The Bolian scanned her with a tricorder. It gave off that long sound that a tricorder gives when someone is dead.

 

[Starbreaker]

Here comes the bad fan-fic.

 

[DanCPA]

Heck, why not... Couldn't really have hurt Voyager!

 

[doubleohfive]

Christ no.

The Trek universe was small enough as is. Bringing her back in the mirror universe episodes was enough and even then the writers had the good sense to not milk it dry.

Jennifer Sisko would have been a better character than Seven of Nine (although that doesn't say much), but it stretches plausibility well past the breaking point.

Even if she had been assimilated how would she have gotten to the DQ in five years? Plus, wasn't that cube destroyed?

 

[Mr. Fergy]

Uh, why?

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Even if she had been assimilated how would she have gotten to the DQ in five years? Plus, wasn't that cube destroyed?

Other drones assimilated at Wolf 359 managed to make it out of there. Presumably the Borg got them out via some kind of escape capsule (like we saw in ST:FC) or just beamed them directly away.

 

[Starbreaker]

I always liked the idea from the novel The Return that there were emergency transporters.

 

[Turtletrekker]

Here comes the bad fan-fic.

Actually, novelist Robert Simpson pitched this idea for a book, and it was shot down by TPTB. He eventually used the idea in the DS9 novel Mission Gamma: Lesser Evil, replacing Ben and Jen with new station XO Elias Vaughn and his wife, Ruriko.

 

[Starbreaker]

That's next on Relaunch reading... I'll have to check that out.

That's right, I forgot about that. Now that you say that I remember hearing a theory that the cube at Wolf 359 may not have been the cube that the E-D destroyed. It all would have been much tidier if Voyager had just left it alone and not shown any drones from Wolf 359.
