:eek: Brannon Braga wanted to kill Star Trek: Voyager’s Seven Of Nine :eek:
Writer/producer Brannon Braga is one of the more controversial figures in Star Trek. (Hey, the guy actually received death threats after killing off Capt. Kirk in Generations.) But if he’d had his way—metaphorically speaking, of course—with Jeri Ryan’s Star Trek: Voyager character Seven of Nine, believe us, things would have gotten even WORSE.
The best thing that happened to Enterprise was when Braga & Berman went hands-off for Season 4 and put Cotto in charge. Considering the quality of show direction B&B consistently displayed, killing off 7o’9 seems pretty consistent.
MISSING OPPORTUNITY, however, was the huge lesbian space orgy her arrival promised. Too bad Cotto wasn’t given the helm of Voyager too.
I couldn’t see that website, but i don’t think it’d be all bad if they decided to go more edgey at the end of voyager. if they have to stick to the finale, to have Seven of Nine actually die, especially if she is killed by the borg queen, then I can see that pushing Janeway over the edge to throw away her principles and go straight home.
The problem is if Braga and Berman wanted a edgy show, they should have went with it right out the gate and push the maquis federation conflict, and hardship of deep space travel without logistical support a bit more.
And didn’t Braga have his way with Jeri Ryan anyway?
Thanks, now i have that image in my head for the rest of the day and not a cot to be found. Argh!
of Janeway, Belana and Seven? i am not sure i want to see that…
thank you very much.
yeah, so just in the finale. if they wrote it as Janeway decides to throw away her ethics and morals for no reason and follow her future self, and Seven of Nine dies in the process of them attacking the borg, the finale would have sucked even more.
but if they wrote it as present Janeway told future Janeway to frak off, and tries to go the diplomacy route with the Borg Queen, going to see the queen with Seven and plea for a path home, and the Borg Queen ends up screwing her over and killing Seven of Nine, causing present Janeway to flip out, works with her future self and destroys the borg out of spite. This finale might have made more sense to me.
huge lesbian space orgy…four great words that go great together
I could see the Belanna and Seven…time travel in some T’Pol and it’s a damn party!
I’ll be in my bunk
can we throw in Intendant (mirror Kira), and Jadzia (first network TV lesbian kiss)?
I never hated Braga…I have always thought he just wasn’t that great as a show runner. As an idea man I think he was cool, he just always needed to be like number 3 or 4 on the totem pole and have his ideas vetted and crafted better.
The question isn’t “Can we?” It’s “How can we NOT???”
If wishes were horses, then Troi should join as well.
Have leave out Tasha because that would be necrophilia. Too bad because she could confirm whether everyone was fully functional.
I like where this thread is going!
I have done my good deed for the day. 
My ideal Trek sandwich would be Seven, Beverly Crusher, and Uhura. Or sub any one of them for me.
Also, for those of you who agree with David, check out this real comic:
I’ve read a few issues. It’s… mediocre. But what a great concept!
I agree.
I really don’t think Seven’s death is a make or break for the series. Like anything, if done right it’ll work. It’s an interesting direction for the character but very bleak. Star Trek has always been about hope and change. Seven is battered and damage, but she fights that adversity everyday and that’s inspiring.
I would like to hear more of Braga’s justification for killing off Seven. It just feels like a gimmick.
Star Trek has killed off other main characters for good. Yar from TNG, Jadzia in DS9, they killed Spock and Kirk in the movies. Though some of them because the actors wanted out, or contract issues, and most of them were done poorly in my opinion, but I thought the Spock one was done pretty well.
Braga actually wrote one of my favorite episodes of TNG believe it or not. I loved Cause and Effect, where the enterprise blew up every 12 min or so. I was just a kid when it first aired but I thought the network screwed up airing the show at first.
aka When Frasiers Attack!
I would have like to seen some sort of mayjor sacerfice at the end of the series. I’ve always thought that the impact is greater if there’s a loss. Nothing like walking away from the last episode of a really good series and having that heavy, bitter sweet feeling in your heart.
