    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”.

      you and @[email protected] are correct, though i consider that part of the triumph of 7. the writing and acting elevated that character way beyond the box they tried to put her in.

      Even with the backroom politics of 90s TV, they still cooked with the ingredients they were given.

      Where as Enterprise thinks of its self as (according to the article) “a man’s man’s Star Trek”… and seems scared of the Me Too movement.

      So yeah Voyager played the hand they were dealt, and surpassed Enterprise by far.
