How will the show treat Seven?

[Danja]

They were assimilated quite a few years before, I would think. Wolf 359 would've been what, 8 years before Seven showed up on Voyager?

Seven was a drone for twenty years.

 

[Blooded]

Wait a second... Are you hinting at something here??

No. Not at all! Honest!

 

[Agony_Boothb]

No. Not at all! Honest!

This is how suspicious I am:

Ha! No, genuinely just something I was wondering. Could ask the same question about any other main cast member we know from the other 24th century shows, in truth.

 

[Noname Given]

They could just rename it Star Trek: Seven of Nine and keep the remainder of the main cast with her taking over as captain.

If the show is a smash hit, I don't think they'll let a little thing like Sir Patrick's death dissuade them from finding some way to continue the existing story as much as is feasible.

A bit morbid - but should he pass DURING the production of a season, I could see them retooling and continuing on to finish said season. If it's between seasons in pre-production of a new season, out of respect, they'd close up shop on STP.

 

[STEPhon IT]

Y'know, one thing I'd never really considered, and upon some thought appears to have been overlooked by mostly everyone since the end of VOY: what if Seven stayed out of the limelight completely? What if, upon Voyager's return and the media storm and Starfleet debriefings that followed, Seven wanted to stay as low key as possible, and got out of town as soon as she could?

That would explain no meeting with Picard prior to this show, for one.

Seven acknowledges Picard by his first name and appeared as if she knows him. I don't think Seven would acknowledge him that way if she didn't know him. I would think she would call him by his title or have a completely didn't response when she sees him. Meh, your point is possible.

She calls him "picard" in the trailer....

Jeri Ryan has confirmed that they have never met before.

 

[Commander Richard]

Funnily enough, I’ve been wondering about Janeway’s role in this world a lot this morning.

I've been wondering the same for a while now. I hope we see her at some point.

I'm curious as to why TPTB have always been so in love with Seven of Nine. She was designed to be hot-as-hell eyecandy all those years ago and she did that quite well. She even ended up being a decent character, played by a good actress. But geez, she's not even in the Top 50 best Trek characters. Yet they keep trying to shoehorn her into TNG stories that don't concern her. They tried to do it in Nemesis back in the day and now they're still at it.

Because she is still eye-candy.

Also, Jeri Ryan is a good actress who can bring a lot of ability to the role. But, eye candy is up on my list of reasons why...

Merely being eye candy won't get you very far (look what happened to T'Pol).

Seven is a complicated character with a dark past.

 

[slappy]

One thing is for sure. No matter how they treat or develop the character....approximately 50% of the fans will lose their minds and hate it.

Do you know how many hot women there are in this world? Subjectively hotter than Jeri Ryan? How many have appeared on Trek alone? Why her?

You don't see them bending over backwards to bring back T'Pol

Edit: Danja beat me to it!

She is a complicated character with a dark past...I'm still not convinced that was the only reason they brought her back.

Regardless, hopefully she brings the same level of character development as before. Because, frankly, Seven isn't enough to get me in to a show. In fact, it stacks against for me. Borg, Seven, are not huge interests for me.

Why not her? Hotness is subjective as taste and acting like she is some how no longer attractive is odd, to say the least.

I'm glad she's free of that ridiculous catsuit.

She has a following (almost on a par with Picard's).

She's flawed. She's a misfit. She resonates with people in a way that someone like Torres, Janeway, or Riker can't.

That was good news indeed.

 

[Commander Richard]

Maybe she has the catsuit on under her clothes.

I'm not sure "why not her" works here.

It's not my question to my answer. By itself, it wouldn't be particularly suspicious. It's the fact that she popped up as a "fix" for a show that had its own thing going over 20 years ago, nearly replaced Troi in the movies in a story that had nothing to do with her, and pops up yet again in a story about Picard in a story that has nothing to do with her. So why HER?

And yeah hotness is subjective....to a point. If you can find as many people that call Kate Mulgrew as gorgeous as Jeri Ryan, I'll buy you a plane. I brought up T'Pol, who does nothing for me personally, because alot of OTHER people think of her as attractive.

I'm not against Jeri Ryan OR the character. I think Jeri is fantastic. Just wondering....why Seven?
