No. They could've kept Kes and introduced Seven. Give Seven a bit less screentime and a decent uniform rather than the catsuit...

Didn't she need the catsuit for some technobabble reason? :rolleyes:

I think they should have let her have a uniform towards the end when she was getting more human.
 
Not forgetting the Datesque period of adjustment where she insists clothing is irrelevant while she's in an environmentally controlled environment.

This is of course, a notion of which Tom Paris would be responsible for seeding in her well groomed head.

No, barely, a little, not for very long after, but the doctor thought of himself as a fashion designer guru genius.
 
The catsuit also established her individuality because she didn't dress like everyone else.
She was never going to be like everyone else.
Seven will never be fully human.
She'll always be and be seen as part Borg.
It's the whole point of her keeping the name Seven of Nine and not going back to being Annika Hansen.

Well, if she was chosing costumes/clothing herself, that would be truish and sad, but since she was just wearing whatever the doctor provided for her like she was his life sized barbie doll, that makes him an ass if it's true. Spending so much time with Kes you would have thought that that little sprites tastes would have flavoured his designs? And given how his personality worked, you would have to further conclude that the Doctor would have been schilling his "collection" to the entire female crew, and Kim too who he would convince that he attire was unisex. Was the Doctor insulted his vision never took off, or did we just never see all the other crew who dressed exactly like Seven of Nine on their off hours because the Doctor's "line" was eminently popular below decks?

Janeway: ...Perhaps by your given name?
Seven: I have been Seven of Nine for as long as I can remember...

Do you recall Corrin "Parker Lewis" Nemic in the abduction/recovery miniseries "I know my first name is Steven"?

The term "slavename" is of common enough practice in the 20th century, my friend I live with his, his discount card from the local shopping centre chain claims that his real name is "Kunta Kinta" like from Roots.

She did seem to be looking forward to being more "human" in the one where she was boinking the Chakotay Hologram once all her implants had been removed.

I'm sorry, did you just call Seven a slave?

If so, are you implying she was Janeway's slave?

Back when white people used to own black people, some were fresh off the boat, and their new masters thought the names of their property, which they were born with back in Africa, were funny, and sometimes rude because of the coincidence that sounds in some languages are expletives in some that aren't in others... Kunta Kinta for instance as i already "put into evidence".

The term "slavename" has been used to address the notion that many black people in the modern day continue to carry the surnames white people forced on them hundreds of years ago as a yoke that they will continue to be subservient to the white agenda.

Seven of Nine is Anika's Borg Slave Name. It's how they branded her, one of the several ways they branded her, and she can't quite shake it.
