7 Of 9's Implants?

[Guy Gardener]

Men what to be him, women want to do him, and vice versus works as well.

Uhura doesn't ring my bell.

Carol has a square jaw like Batman animated.

Seriously, you could crack walnuts with her chin.

Oh.

There was a green girl in there for all or 5 seconds.

So?

Are there Orion Slave Girls?

Who broke the back of the Orion Syndicate that what came after joined the Federation by 2267?

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

I totally agree.

NuSpock.

I want to do NuSpock and I want to watch men do NuSpock.

The rest are preludes and dressing and fanfare.

I can see either the Orion Syndicate or the Ferengi Alliance becoming a subsidiary of the other.

And yes, Jeri Ryan deserves the bulk of the credit for helping save VOY. Braga gets credit for the Borg crewmember idea. Berman gets credit for the Borg Babe crewmember idea. Any properly pneumatic actress could have provided a bombshell shape, but the bonus was Ryan's acting chops and concept she had for the character. Performance in Star Trek is always more stylized than a contemporary drama, and not every actor is successful at achieving it. Ryan's interpretation was good enough it inspired the writers to explore the character further. It's much like what happened when Picardo's EMH became popular.

Pneumatic?!!!

 

[Taylirious]

It was like they thought; This show needs a hero!

Too late for Kes & her mysterious mental abilities...

We are Borg.

OOoooooooo

you gave me chills with that

Well, imagine if Seven had been played by an actress who could only do airheads.

7 of Nine did not save the show.

Ratings continued to decline despite her invention.

And ratings continued to decline on Enterprise until it's cancellation when it dipped under 1 million viewers and decided to live there. Ratings were at 4 million before Seven showed up, went up to 5.3 million with Scorpion, then straight back down to 4, and declining till Season Seven when 2 million viewers per episode was seen as a victory.

What they try to make us believe is a possibility that Seven of Nine lessened and slowed the decline and demise of Star Trek.

You can't prove that.

Well.

Demographics.

X type of viewers increased as Y type of viewers decreased.

(I mean it seems grand that X was increasing to slow the dirge, but if Y was not decreasing, then the ratings at worst would have stayed stable. Was Seven as responsible for the decrease of Y as she was for the increase of X?)

You can prove anything by asking the right questions, but I can't be bothered swimming through the numbers available.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Actresses who can "do" airheads are usually very nuanced.

Imagine a Legally Blonde Borg. This would have upcamped VOY, it would have been awesome.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

I exist in another century from most of Voyager so I don't care about any of this stuff.

[Taylirious]

At the time the show was pretty boring until they added Seven. IMHO. I can re-watch S1 - 3 & appreciate a handful of EPs but S4 - 7 just clicked for me(Because of Seven). YMMV.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

I like it all because of Janeway but season 4 was.. OMG!

 

[Makarov]

I'm up to episode 15 in season 4 and I'm hoping Jellico shows up and asks her to wear a standard issue uniform when she's on duty. Maybe he could send her the order over one of those messages from home.

 

[Guy Gardener]

There's at least two episodes where she wears Science Blue.

It looked like this...



Please attempt to control yourself.

 

[F. King Daniel]

Ooooh, I thought this was about Seven's implants.

 

[Guy Gardener]

It is about Seven's implants.

Don't you see what Guy is trying to get at?

Dolls.

 

[Vandervecken]

She must have had various implants left untouched that enabled her to use a Borg regeneration alcove, since as far as I know she never stopped using it. I would think there'd have to be more than just brain and one or two other implants to make that work.

 

[Guy Gardener]

You got it the wrong way around.

She needed regeneration because she had implants, not x number of implants means that she can regenerate.

As she becomes more human, she'll need to regenerate and sleep, but maybe not at the same time.

In Timeless we saw inside her skull, under Seven's face and it was mostly metal.

That would be one of the reasons she (and all other Borg) had implants from assimilation, but after she was severed from the Collective, she would need those implants to continue to use regen, and there would be some minimum working system of implants required for that. Also, I don't recall anyone ever stating that only the implants in 7--or any Borg--would benefit from regen. That really wouldn't make any sense; the whole drone needs to regen, not simply the artificial parts. Regen is for the whole Borg drone, biological parts as well as implants, but the implants would absolutely be required to make the regen work (someone with ut implants would derive no benefit from a Borg regen alcove).
