Seven of Nine

Currently at the Star Trek convention in Las Vegas and I bought this Seven of Nine doll :))

The picture is rotated on its side, but oh well :P

Which species make the best borg drones, and why? What qualities make them good borg drones?

For example, in VOY the raven, seven mentioned that talaxians' dense musculature, and vulcans' enlarged neocortex which produces superior analytical abilities made them excellent borg drones, so clearly some species are better suited to being borg drones than others.

With the reformed Borg Collective and Starfleet's vessels harmonizing their respective deflector shields together to fend off the neutrino beam from the mysterious transwarp conduit, and Jurati's Borg Queen requesting provisional membership to monitor it, it kinda makes one wonder who's on its other side. While it was great to see The Next Generation crew reunite and work alongside both Seven of Nine and Raffi Musiker, a small part of me was kind of somewhat disappointed that season 3 didn't at all delve into the nature of the conduit and who built it. Because Borg Agnes believed the conduit to constitute a potential threat, it made me scratch my head wondering who or what it could be, and what its ramifications could be. If anything, I'd like to see the potential Star Trek: Legacy series delve into it since season 3 of Picard did not.

Who are some star trek characters that you think were miscast?

As good as they were, I think sisko, jake, archer, yar, dax, ezri, mayweather, seven, t'pol, and hoshi were all miscast.

Which are all the PIC episodes with legacy characters in them? (Other than picard.)

So I posted a poll about who's better seven or kes and a discussion spawned "is seven only considered a good character because of her looks" (the person who said that sevenwas only a good characterbecauseof looks also brought up troi, t'pol and others). I say no because her development is interesting and reminds me of data. I would like to hear others opinions on seven and some other characters that could be seen as "popular because of looks".

I was watching episodes of VOY tonight and realized that, obviously, Seven of Nine still needed to periodically to undergo a typical Borg regeneration cycle so to keep her implants healthy and working after leaving the Collective. However, in PIC, she's never shown to do anything of the such even once, nor is it mentioned or alluded to.

So...does she still need to do it? Or, after Voyager's return to Federation space, did they figure out a way to wean her off of that need finally? Or did they maybe find a more miniaturized or portable way of doing it, eliminating the need for the whole Borg alcove and instead using something smaller, like a handheld device you can just carry in a bag or pocket or something?

…the birth of the Space Jellyfish that we first encounter at (as, really) Farpoint Station?!?

Pretty dang cool, if you ask me.

The changeling’s pot that Seven finds in the alert window reminds me of “Conscience of the King” (1x12).

Speaking of pot…I believe this is the first time (at least in canon) that Trek has referenced cannabis…though I could be wrong.

Another terrific offering! I picked up a few tidbits on my second viewing…

Titus Rikka is portrayed by Thomas Dekker, ‘Thomas Picard’ in “Generations” & Henry, young Lord Burleigh, in VOY (“Learning Curve”, 1x17, & “Persistence of Vision”, 2x8).

And Seven of Nine has a chrome model of the USS Voyager in her quarters.

I was also a bit surprised that Seven is listening to “Ave Verum” in her quarters…perhaps Mozart’s most sacred work…
