Mortal Coil

[The_Baroness]

So...in mortal coil Seven drops the bombshell that can reanimate the dead..apparently this is because the borg possess "superior medical knowledge"

..so why not just let her work in sickbay instead of Paris who didn't want to be there anyway and was only a field medic...

 

[Jetfire]

Janeway was scared of her wicked cool Borg magic. Actually she should have been in sickbay & astrometrics...didn't they assigned people to work with her there? It isn't like she had to be stuck in one place all the time...she IS Borg.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

Her bedside manner, however, would make the EMH look like Mr. Rogers.

 

[CaptainMatt]

I never knew what to make of the Borg's superior medical knowledge that could revive the dead. Seemed far fetched at the time and only there to serve the episode's needs.

 

[You_Will_Fail]

Just because I guess.
It was just one of those things created for a plot for an episode, and forgotten about afterwards.

 

[The Dominion]

They were afraid Kim would die and Seven would revive him.

Besides, it opens up the whole new door of weather performing Borg Necromancy on a patient without their consent is ethical.

 

[Jetfire]

Every Star Fleet ship should have a Borg necromancer.

Neelix's near suicide in the end probably put an end to any idea of Seven of Nine bringin' back anyone else in the crew.

That's a WEAK explanation. Most of the crewmembers aboard Voyager were not going to have an existential crisis since most would be atheist.

Ya don't think a crewman who lost someone at Wolf 359 or some other encounter with the Borg would react well to wakin' up to Borg nanaprobes in their body?

Remember how that Bajoran technician lost his shit over the hologram of a Cardassian? Not to mention B'Elanna's own reaction, and she was the one on the table!!!

 

[You_Will_Fail]

I highly doubt the crew would care if nanoprobes was used on them if it meant living. I dont think the situation is comparable to "nothing human"

 

[od0_ital]

^

B'Elanna didn't even want the hologram of a Cardassian advisin' about her situation and she was dyin', slowly!

A person dies, their gone, no choice in whether Seven nanaprobes 'em or not, but if it works (keep in mind, Seven bringin' Neelix back had a deadline to it), ya don't think someone is goin' to be pissed off about it? 'cause they're not just livin' again - they're livin' than thanks to the Borg!

 

[You_Will_Fail]

No, I don't think at all. The Borg are basically a faceless enemy.
Besides "Nothing Human" was complete claptrap anyway.

The Borg Queen gave the Borg a face, and for the last several seasons, they were a recurrin' threat to the ship.

And I don't disagree about 'Being Human,' but it does show the illogical reactions the crew can have when it comes to medical care.

I've heard this argument made a LOT, but can you actually point to a subsequent episode in the series where a crewmember had just died and he was in a position to be resuscitated? Remember, Neelix died of a specific cause, and was revived within a specific time period. Just because we didn't get the specifics of why this was doesn't mean that Seven had unlimited resurrection power- she did state that it was a risky procedure that was not guaranteed to work. Maybe she HAS resuscitated crewmembers, we just didn't see it because it was not germane to the stories we saw.

So before we proceed with the argument, can you find a time when the procedure could have been used (Latent Image springs to mind), but wasn't?

 

[You_Will_Fail]

Seven wasn't on the ship in Latent Image.

Exactly!

 

[The Dominion]

Poor guy, first B'Elanna breaks his face and steals his promotion, then he disappears into obscurity for several years and when he's finally given attention again, he gets killed and no one bothers to bring him back. Didn't he have family as well?

 

[JB2005]

Yup, wife and kids...all of whom will rightly blame Janeway for Joe's death
