/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I believe she was added just because some executive producer (no idea who that could have been) wanted to add a "sexy Borg babe". But as you said, she ended up doing such a great job that she became one of the highlights of the series.
Really wish I Could Know who to BlamE foR MAking womeN uncomfortable.
Whereas Jolene Blalock was a fine actor, but never really rose much more above 'sexy Vulcan' in terms of writing. She had the good episode here and there, but they never really wrote her out of the 'decontamination gel' hole they put her in.
And that's why people remember Seven fondly and are relatively ambivalent about T'Pol.
That's not entirely accurate. They did put her in the captain's chair in one episode....but also made her wear a crop-top uniform. Yeah, your point stands.
Stupid sexy Terran Empire...
