    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.

    As always, FUCK 👏 RICK 👏 BERMAN 👏

    https://screenrant.com/star-trek-voyager-bodysuit-costume-change-why/

    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.

    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.

    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.

    There’s 2 kinds of people in Trek fandom:

    1. The sane people who know Berman sucks and her outfit is a known unfortunate symptom - we just pretend Seven had real clothes.
    2. “I liiiike Seven of Nine” - creepy gen X white guys who just watch Trek for boobs and lasers.

    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.

      See what you did there, and because I’m in a different space right now, trying to be a better person, I forgive you.
