did you somehow forget 7 of 9?

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (12 children)

Whose whole character arc is about the female trauma of losing control of ones body and having it occasionally violated?...

....with a large dose of how to connect with your mother figures, even when one is being a bit of a Borg queen?

No, I didn't forget, and it's great that Voyager hit some gender specific trauma stuff consistently with 7 of 9.

That may be how it turned out in the end, but that story arc is absolutely not why 7 of 9 was added as a character on the show.

Some impressive gymnastics going on with the guy you're replying to...

What I remember people saying about Enterprise at the time was along the lines of "hadn't they learned their lesson with Voyager?" 7 of 9's outfit was an embarrassing thing non-trekkies would point to when characterizing Trek fans as "virgin nerds".
