I wish no specific ill will, but, yeah. It mostly boils down to his fuckery as it was in Enterprise with Jolene’s T’Pol.
“They’re little footballs…!”
As always, FUCK 👏 RICK 👏 BERMAN 👏

Seven of Nine was created by Star Trek: Voyager executive producers Brannon Braga and Joe Menosky; Braga became fascinated with the idea of a Borg character coming aboard the Captain Kathryn Janeway’s (Kate Mulgrew) starship, but it was producer Rick Berman who suggested they make their creation into “a Borg babe.” While Braga’s vision of Seven of Nine was “a wild child… a girl raised by wolves” who would inject conflict into the U.S.S. Voyager, the producers agreed with Berman that Seven would also inject some sex appeal into the series […]
Ryan wore the silver suit for a few episodes, but it was retired because of the many issues it caused for the actress. The catsuit, with its corset complete with molded breasts, was so restrictively tight that Ryan had trouble breathing. In fact, nurses with oxygen tanks were present on the set and Ryan passed out four times during production. In addition, not only did the corset prevent Ryan from bending but it took her 20 minutes to go to the bathroom, and production would need to be halted just so the actress could relieve herself.
Update: Jeri Ryan contacted Screen Rant with the correction that the problems she encountered involved her Borg drone costume and not her catsuit. The original article is as follows.
You just going to ignore the very first thing in that article?

I would have volunteered to help her.
I want to talk about Picard’s TNG S1 body suit!
Tbf, TNG uniforms were merciless.
I don’t think seven’s suit would have stuck out so much if they didn’t absolutely neuter the rest of the crew with the uniforms. The man in the dress should have been more prominent, and there should have been some women who chose to wear that too. Before next-gen got pants, I bet the dress would have actually been a very popular option for both genders.
FABULOUS!!
I too would love to be followed around by yellow pajama wearing girls.
I mean it’s really dumb and incongruous but truth be told, it was hot. I just wasn’t really looking for hot. I was looking for good sci-fi drama. That, unfortunately, was in short supply.
We all need a good sci fi bodysuit once in awhile
There’s 2 kinds of people in Trek fandom:
- The sane people who know Berman sucks and her outfit is a known unfortunate symptom - we just pretend Seven had real clothes.
- “I liiiike Seven of Nine” - creepy gen X white guys who just watch Trek for boobs and lasers.
Wow. You’re just going to exclude creepy boomers like that?
Oops.
- “I liiiike Seven of Nine” - creepy gen X white guys who just watch Trek for boobs and lasers.
Omfg that is so bigoted!!!
I’m not even white!
Ummm… actshually they are called “phasers” in the Star Trek universe. You see… the difference is that…
That is correct. That is a point for @OpenStars@piefed.social
It was actually an attempt to use indirect characterization - by using “lasers” instead of “phasers”, it shows that the demographic I am describing only pays attention to the superficial aesthetic of Star Trek rather than its meaning or even common technical terms in the show.
But still, I derive quite a bit of humor from your comment.

I feel seen.
Option 2 was known even at the time and appears as a joke in the dilbert cartoon.

This is a clip of dilbert waking to a 7-of-9 alarm clock which proceeds to roast him.
I mean, the creator of Dilbert is basically option 2 incarnate in the most terrifying way possible, so it makes sense.
Come for the boobies and phasers (and the rare shots of female bare feet, nudity, and women kissing women), stay for the well-written hardcore sci-fi.
Option number 2 describes my ex-wife. Generalizing to “creepy gen x white guys” is your own bias. The most lecherous comments I have heard about seven in real life have come from the mouth of a female scientist.
Under the age of about 20 you enjoy the sex appeal of Star Trek
But beyond that you enjoy it for the scifi … because if you want sex … there’s like 10 billion hours of free porn online … and before the internet, you could fill the ancient halls of the library of Alexandria ten times over with the amount of porn mags that were available back then.
I bet the Library of Alexandria had so much porn.
“NOOOOO, all the porn!!!”
It was good, but it wasn’t that great, I give it 7/9
See what you did there, and because I’m in a different space right now, trying to be a better person, I forgive you.
Interesting, a tread about 7 of 9 without one image of her.
