Overview
- Ryan told fans at ST: CHI that Seven was added to push Star Trek into mainstream media, with a sexy catsuit central to the publicity campaign.
- She said she participated in the costume decisions and accepted them in the 1990s context, though she would not agree to the same approach today.
- Ryan criticized an early “you wish to copulate” scene as moving Seven’s humanity too quickly, prompting a deliberate reset to slow her development.
- She credited Brannon Braga with shaping Seven’s voice, saying he wrote or rewrote essentially all of her dialogue on Voyager.
- After a candid conversation with Kate Mulgrew, she said she better understands how the rollout was handled, and she noted that returning on Picard initially required recalibrating the character’s voice with producers’ input.
