The Untold Truth Of Seven Of Nine

We're sorry about our repeated mispronunciation of the name "Chakotay." That's an error we didn't catch until after the video went live. We'll make sure we do better next time!

[@lynnquin8565]

As a huge fan of 'Voyager' I noticed that right away. Clearly the narrator isn't familiar with the series at all. Edit: Just noticed that 'Too-VAK is being pronounced as 'T'vac. Some familiarization of the pronunciation of characters' names should be mandatory. I'm not singling out this channel-- many channels make the same errors in pronunciation.

[@darquequeen2323]

Yes, that’s rather unfortunate.

[@Sjrick]

Its pretty obvious Kate was threatened by Jeris presence. Jeri kind of took over and took the limelight away from Kate. Its all about ego.

[@daydreamer226]

Though Kate is an accomplished actress, the character of Janeway never resonated with me. Yes Jeri is smoking hot, but at least they made Seven into an able member of the crew with frailties. Janeway vacillated morals according to the situation.

[@johnarmenta2199]

Yeah, some hot girl-on-girl action would have done the series some good. . . . . "Where no one has gone before". . .

[@lwells3937]

Ditto. They were amazing together. Both had strong personalities that didn't seem to clash but did seem to learn from each other and grow

[@Gmon750]

I remembered many years ago reading a behind-the-scenes story about how Jeri Ryan was brought on to Voyager because ratings were dropping and the cast became stale. When she came on board, the ratings - for better or for worst - went off the chart. I think 7of9 was one of the best characters of Voyager. It says a lot about her eventual return on "Picard". Great to see Jeri Ryan back on the screen. She has aged beautifully.

[@mikereger1186]

Gmon750 - agree that the first few seasons of Voyager were not massively inspiring especially when compared to TNG or DS9, both of which were heavily character driven. It seemed bland, and driven by what we would nowadays call SJW or feminist casting and writing. Shifting thins up a notch with a new character and more action was the right thing to do. It worked for DS9 when Warf joined the cast and the Dominion War started to ramp up, and for Farscape when Chiana joined the show. Both the above also went for a darker approach to the feel of the show at the same time. You can even point to the third season of Babylon 5 being its breakout, where the action goes up a gear. Yeah. This was the right thing for Voyager, it probably saved it.

[@candacebordelonph.d.8890]

The characters were stale because the writing for them was stale. It’s a shame that the brilliant writing that revolved around the Seven of Nine character couldn’t be applied to the others.

[@Jealod24]

Yea, she’s is one of the only non cringey aspects of Picard... every time I hear that woman call Picard “JL” I throw up a little. And the pointless swearing... and then the “Vulcan” commodore wearing sunglasses, and not even futuristic ones, just like the vaping. I mean, I watch it because..: but Christ it’s hard to see how they are trashing it

[@kevinreamore7374]

Aged Beautifully? Ryan, is akin to a "Fine Wine". The 7 of 9 character is perhaps the best part of this series. How the character has developed, and become more comfortable & confident in herself, is indeed noteworthy. I hope to learn more about her journey, and life after Voyager.

To be honest I think she is one of the most overrated characters in Star Trek history, The Doctor, Tuvak and Janeway were all much more interesting leads and could act circles around Jeri.

The problem with Janeway was they stripped her of her femininty. Except for her hair. Just as feminine men don't cut it (remember Enterprise ), macho women are fake too. That and she lived out the 'bad girl' personal where she threw out one liners that levelled the audience.

I remember one of Seven's problems when she was first disconnected from the Borg was that she was unused to the quiet. She needed to hear the constant chatter of the rest of the collective. I often wondered why the crew didn't connect her via audio only to the ship's computer. That way she could have continually listened in on life support, stellar cartography, navigation, maintenance, and a few hundred other communication routines. This could easily have led to episodes of her either causing problems or rescues from literal inside information.

Jeri Ryan knocked it out of the Park👍👍👍👍 all hail the queen 👑

[@larrymiller4]

The thing about Jeri Ryan is that she plays 7 of 9 so consistently and convincingly well.. Every gesture, every eye movement reveals the conflict and complexity going on within her character. And you don't sit there and think this is an actress playing a part, but somehow you're also thinking, "Wow, is she ever good at this." Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) is the ideal ship captain and always played an essential role in the show, and I can see where there might be friction between Mulgrew and Ryan, because, let's face it, Ryan (no doubt unintentionally) upstaged her, and with Ryan's attributes, who can blame Mulgrew?

[@someone13211]

I’m so thankful that Seven had the opportunity to share more of her story

[@JJRIKER2]

I’m surprised that Kate Mulgrew didn’t like Jeri Ryan. That’s really mind blowing being that the two working together on Voyager were phenomenal actors in their own right. I loved the series and enjoyed their 7 year story. I’m also shocked that Robert Beltran held some resentment towards Jeri for being the new kid on the block. They had some great stories for all the characters involved and you could never tell that there was some angst between any of the actors. Even so, kudos for Jeri Ryan because her character Seven of Nine has been and will always be a favorite of mine in this franchise.

Admiral Janeway knew her younger self well. Her previous attempts to get her younger self on board with the idea of using the Borg's trans warp technology to get home were failing. But, then the Admiral Janeway said the one thing that triggered Captain Janeway to change her mind. She said "SEVEN OF NINE IS GOING TO DIE" And then, Bam! Captain Janeway went into full protective mom mode. Legal consequences of violating the temporal prime directive be damned. She would go through hell and back to save Seven, as she had proven in previous episodes, often putting the lives of her crew in jeopardy to save Seven.

Also note that Seven was in love with Cheqotay and he with her. She didn't abandon all hops of being with any of the crew, the two of them were very clearly in love with each other (I've watch the whole series many times over as it is my favourite). Just something to keep in mind... she likes men.

He was able to help her find peace after Icheb's death. Captain Janeway gave Seven back her humanity. The Doctor taught Seven how to embrace it. But forgiving oneself for past trauma, is the most important part of being human....and that lesson came from Picard. Because only he could truly understand the suffering she felt.

Same as when they have musical stars of today pass judgement on shows like "I Love the 80s." F**K their opinions. They weren't even alive then. They really ought to have another narrator re-record the audio. It would probably take about half an hour and it's fixed.

[@phdtobe]

Chris Bailey Exactly!

[@mug9468]

Sounds to me like there was a lot of envy going on aboard the Voyager

[@candacebordelonph.d.8890]

MU G I think a lot of the “envy was really worry about becoming superfluous as a character, or even worse, eliminated like Kes. Very few Star Trek characters were able to move on in their careers once the show was over. A bit like being a child actor.

[@isaned]

Also the fact that the showrunner Brannon Bragga was tapping da Borg ass didn't help

[@b-radg916]

One of my favorite episodes involving Seven was when something triggered multiple personalities to be displayed from her. It was awesome to see Jeri Ryan getting to do other characters that were so unlike Seven!

[@tiptapkey]

Jeri Ryan is 52. That blows my mind. She's ageless.

[@sergiolobato1798]

7 of 9 was the only reason I started watching Voyager!

[@jnunya3833]

There resentment of her on a personal level actually made the show better because they were always kind of suspicious of her

[@newlenmedia]

The biggest issue with the 7 of 9 character for me was the fact that her parents went out to study the Borg race before humans actually knew about them in the Star Trek timeline. There were a lot of inconsistencies on the show Voyager, particularly with Janeway's character. Though 7 of 9 was very consistent. Her character was also developed properly, as was the doctor's character. Everyone else was either cardboard or inconsistent, save a few. I honestly think without 7 of 9, this show wouldn't have made it past 4 or 5 seasons. Jeri Ryan's entry not only saved the show, but made it worthwhile.

[@davidvarnes7708]

Chuck O'Tay... in a non-filmed episode, he sat in Engineering and sang "I'll take you home again, Kathleeeeeeen...." over and over

[@lorensims4846]

I think Mulgrew was exactly right about why the character of Seven of Nine was so popular. ...And she was the new kid. Me, I stilll missed Kes. I was surprised you didn't mention how she got her name. Perhaps tellingly, the character was named after the android robot played by Julie Numar in the mid-'60s sitcom "My Living Doll". The robot was referred to in public as "Rhoda," a relative of Bob Cumming's character, but her official designation was AF-709.

[@trafficsignal101]

7 of 9's popularity is because Jeri Ryan is a great actress and beautiful.

[@brynstarkiller7419]

It’s hilarious how fickle actors egos are that Ryan’s appearance ruffled them then and now

[@thetayterminator1436]

[@yapdog]

@@thetayterminator1436 Was that a valid reason to treat her like shit?

[@Voodoowolfe]

@@yapdog Well when you bust your ass in acting and proving yourself. Then as the series declines a young hot sexdoll is brought in to boost ratings. Yeah you get a little jealous, resentful towards fans, and your screen time and character development is sidelined. Anyone would feel the same. Should they have continued once she showed some acting talent? No, of course not. Be professional and help teach her would have been better all the way around for the show.

[@yapdog]

@@Voodoowolfe Still not a valid reason to treat her like shit. Even less so if she had no talent. She didn't write the show. She didn't run the show. She didn't produce the show. She didn't cast the show. She wasn't millions of viewers. Mistreating her because of her popularity and appeal was misguided and immature. Showing her respect and compassion could possibly have created a better situation for all, even beyond Voyager.

[@Xeranx]

When a young woman comes in to revitalize your show and comes into conflict with your Feminist ideals (Kate Mulgrew), there's going to be some ruffled feathers. As for the sidelining of characters, I think they did what they could. I like that Seven's observation of B'Elanna and Tom bothered the former. A human/Klingon pairing was already weighing heavily on B'Elanna despite Tom's reassurances (if I remember correctly) to deal with a former Borg member living on the ship and taking notes on how interspecies relationships work. The doctor's emerging interest in Seven, I think, was a nod to Data being interested in human emotion and showing that even a hologram could start to have an approximation of feeling towards another individual. Going back to Kate Mulgrew, I think it's funny that she probably didn't realize that as Borg, Seven would probably have the most physical coordination of most on the ship and would wear the least impactful clothing she could to keep up appearances while not encumbering her movements.

[@SuperCarrona]

She was always one of my favorite character, I'm glad she is back in star trek Picard.

[@brentglittle]

"Why did she become so popular"? Maybe because she's $%^&* HOT.

[@OneCupOfCoffee204]

The focus on 7 was warranted because she is a former Borg and was a very interesting character to explore not because she was beautiful. Like any team, everyone should know their roles.

[@northperuvianchile8581]

Seven of Nine made voyager much better and more enjoyable, love the concept of her character and those curves!!!! I 'finished' every episode with my nacelles fully charged

[@alfrede.neuman8611]

Lot of sour grapes from many of the cast members regarding Jeri Ryan's character. Realistically, the show actually got interesting again after her introduction and likely wouldn't have made it past the 4th season without her.

[@DBoyTommie]

Jeri Ryan is a great actress..and I'm shocked by the B.S. the other cast members put her through. And it's not just the sexiness. The Borg character was just so damned interesting and she brought a whole new interpretation of the Borg into the Star Trek universe. Her performance was ICONIC and no one can take that away from her.

[@UsedBrain4U]

25 years later and Jeri Ryan is still smoke'n amazing!

[@James-zh8lc]

Seven saved voyager, and the actors on the show were bitter 😂

[@KasaiWolf07]

What drew me for Seven was her becoming Human. Her episodes with her awkwardness (such as breaking her dates arm) or her one liners "There isn't anyone on deck....that doesn't know when you are having intimate relations"

[@Amberscion]

The pronunciation of Chakotay as "Chuck-o-tay," a pronunciation that was never to my knowledge used on Voyager, evokes for me Peppermint Patty, who always called Charley Brown "Chuck."

[@jtjones73]

30 seconds in and a main character's name is mispronounced. Cannot continue with garbage content pumped out just for the sake of revenue.

I'll be honest, I loved her return to Star Trek, through Picard. I was giddy for Locutus and Seven to interact, and share their struggle to get back their humanity. I can't wait for Season 2.

[@areyouready22]

I think jealousy and pride gets in the way with actors. Yes, Seven is incredibly beautiful and that alone was going to raise their rating but honestly, Jeri Ryan is so talented and her character, beautiful or not, brought a lot of depth and interest to the show. She added years to their run.

[@IzzySoDope]

[@adrianvanleeuwen]

Bad pronunciation of a favorite character on Voyager ("Chuck O. Tay?" ), suggests the narrator might never have watched an episode of Voyager. I find it humorous! LOL

[@kjackers5710]

Without 7 of 9 Voyager may not have lasted 7 seasons. Janeway was an ok character but not strong enough to carry the show herself. Jeri Ryan was the perfect foil Kate Mulgrew. Kirk had Spock, Picard had Data. Of course her costumes were an added bonus ;)

[@SgtDreTecKeGamer]

If memory serves, Voyager was starting to drop in the ratings and "7 of 9" was created and "Jeri Ryan" was put in that role, I remember seeing petitions on line to help keep the show going, as well as "enterprise with Scott Bakula" yes a bit off topic, but just looking at how they costumed up "Jeri Ryan - aka 7 of 9" it was meant to draw attention to her. They did what they could to try and develop the other main characters with their own little stories, but it was "Jeri Ryan - aka 7 of 9" that helped save the show, again it's been a long time.

[@mierbeuker8148]

Fun fact: Seven of Nine is actually 4 of nine, but was switched one night with one of her siblings, by one of the Borgs in the maternity ward that lost a bet. Which proves again the old adage, don't drink and gamble in space. The Borgs are known as prolific gamblers, that's why their ship looks like a big dice.

[@paulgibbons2320]

I personally hated seeing a poor Borg get assimilated by the federation. A terrifying threat reduced to a bridge pet. The guy who painted on her suite sure had a plumb job though.

[@_Yep_Yep_]

7 of 9 was one of the best written character in the Star Trek Universe. Its unfortunate Ryan was poorly received. She certainly was helped by being beautiful, but i think it made her character more interesting, particularly through her suffering. I make no knocks on other actors with more tenure or ostensibly talent, but you really plum the depths of humanity when you see someone beautiful twisted in agony. You can still see this develop in Picard, the suffering and the failure to come to grips with life...and a good amount of just human darkness forged from a place that few people come back from. And..i know this wont win me any points with the Trekkers, but if Ryan took screen time away from the Neelix character then that alone justifies her presence.
