Harsh realities of rewatching Star Trek Voyager

[Michael Two Wolves]

…Seven, Kes, and Harry. Can you imagine if they had taken all three of those kids on a journey of growth like Seven's?

That would have been awesome.

I would have liked to have seen more of Borg space itself. The few glimpses we saw looked really cool.

I don't get the whole issue with Seven of Nine's suit. Who tf cares? Omg, so what you can see her curves? Have you seen what Kirk was doing? I'm amazed the next Star Trek series isn't titled, The Search For Kirk's Kids.

Because it served the purpose of saying "this character is for looks alone." That the character grew is an amazing feat, but how she was initially presented was severely off putting and made me less likely to watch.

Precisely.

That the character grew is an amazing feat,

Especially on Voyager, where character growth was hard to come by.

Yes. DS9 had two very attractive women in its cast, but it didn't need to package them in outfits that looked spray-painted on. VOY and ENT were one giant step backward for womankind.

I didn't really care for Seven at first, or whatever she was wearing--I thought she was a Borg plant who was going to deliberately sabotage Voyager, and even after she was cut off, I wasn't too sure the Queen hadn't just planted something in her to go off in a kamikaze mission. It took me several episodes to warm up to her, and by then, they'd already switched the uniform. Besides, I always thought Janeway was better looking. lmao Very Katherine Hepburn-esque.

I just wish we could have seen more of the actual removal of implants and what happened to the stuff they took out of her. I love seeing all the techy greebles. That to me is the true nerd-porn. Yeah, I know, it's a PITA to sit in the makeup chair for eighthours getting all that stuff put on you, but it looks so freakin' cool.
