I'm sure you'll find something, people ususally do.Darn you, Exodus, how dare you write a post that I cannot disagree with?
I guess I could try, but I'd have to work at it pretty hard.
Seven of Nine
- Thread starter Praetor
- Start date
Most of the time found I her interesting, and a few times, not so much, so I voted the third option. I do see Seven as more than a catsuit and breasts, though. I saw her a commentary on how people can become too attached to technology (PCs, cell phones), and how she eventually asserted her human qualities against her more mechanistic qualities. I do think she would have been more interesting if she decided not to reject her Borg implants and remained looking like a drone -- the juxtaposition of her beauty with her ugly mechanistic qualites would have made her Beauty and the Beast rolled into one! -- RR
The word you're looking for is "objectionable", the ability to understand and relate to others points of view even though you don't share them yourself.
Besides, I politely told you these weren't my opinions. Please return that by not continuing to insist that I do.Tells not turn this hostile, ok.
Don't you mean "objective," big fella? -- RR
I think, at the very least, a more gradual de-assimilation process would have greatly aided the drama of the character, and maybe nix the Barbie of Borg bit to boot.
It's hardly a crime to notice what TPTB are practically mushing into our faces in every episode to insure we watch their adverts.
It might seem like a fair trade?
But in every sense of the word, her chest was the "enemy".
Her chest emptied our bank accounts and forced our lives into a back alley detour of spurious scifi memorabilia, media and collectibility deviancy and obsessiveness when there are so many more worthwhile proquirements (I invented a word. HA!) we could, nay SHOULD have made the focus of our personal universes.
Her chest stopped us from being decent people.
Of course, you know, this means war.
Well it would, if there weren't a whole lot of better chests out there doing worse damage to my character I should deal to first.
Priorities.

Even though they over did the Borg in voyager, Seven was still an interesting character.
Oops, why yes I do.The word you're looking for is "objectionable", the ability to understand and relate to others points of view even though you don't share them yourself.

Dingo, Seven & those other 3 ruined millions of lives as Borg. The other 3 weren't innocent either.
So you would have preferred that she send 'em back to the Borg?
One consistent theme through Voyager was, as Seven said, "survival is insufficient." From "Death Wish" to "Latent Image" to "Survival Instinct" (as well as other episodes), the message was it's not enough to be alive, one has to have a life worth living.
I agree with that, and I agreed with her decision to separate the three.
As did they.
No, I didn't want her to send them back to the Borg, I found what she did to them in the first place to be reprehensible. Had she not re-assimilated them into that triad link then they wouldn't have been damned to a terminal existance. I viewed her as a Borg Collective equivalent to a Hitler jugend for re-assimilating those three into a collective.
I agree with the decision to separate the three, but I disagree with Seven's reprehensible actions responsible for their condition in the first place.

She did it because she was afraid.
The other 3 had been assimilated as adults, they started to remember who they were. Seven doesn't have very many memories because for well over half her life she's been Borg. When they started to remember, she was afraid they'd leave her, much like how a child reacts. So she did what she did out of fear.
Who would know years down the road those same 3 would be free again and what she did was cause the damage it did. Nobody but nobody could predict the probablitity of those events. That's a million to one shot.
Maybe, but that episode still meant that I dislike Seven of Nine (I never was a fan of her to begin with), and fear did not excuse what she did. I was still horrified by what she did to them and what happened. My sympathies were with Marika Wilkarah's husband who would never know his wife's fate, and the other two.
