VOY: The Gift

[Graham Kennedy]

I vaguely recall they referred to it by some techno-name... "Dermal coating" or some damn thing, rather than just calling them clothes.

Of course we did see her skin once, and she does have normal Human-looking skin underneath it. So there's little justification for it being anything technobabblish.

Was any reason given for those spine breaker high-heels?

Um... they made her ass look good?

[Tyyr]

As a card carrying ass man I'd like to categorically state that her ass needs no help.

[Lazar]

Now this is a topic I can get behind.

[Mikey]

Was any reason given for those spine breaker high-heels?

To make me continue to watch VOY in order to keep pondering what those heels would feel like on my spine?

[Tyyr]

And you learn something new every day. Not always something you'd like to know, but something every day.

[Mikey]

Hey - I shoot straight. Take the message, discard it, whatever.

[SomosFuga]

And what? Promoting the guy is just a band-aid solution to the problem that there isn't anything else for the guy to do. What other responsibilities is the guy going to get? What prospects are there for him?

The answer of course is nothing. The guy hasn't a hope in hell of advancing unless they get home or through attrition. That's the result of being stuck 70 years from home and none of the senior officers dying.

It's prety much the same for everybody on Voyager.

Seven's left arm and left eye are prosthesis right? I think its a nice touch in the middle of a mediocre show, they should have done the same with Picard after The Best of Both Worlds, i don't know why they didn't, it would shown some scars from the (probably) most traumatic event on his life, something we never saw until FC.

[Mikey]

I think the disparity between Picard's recovery and Seven's was fine. Picard was treated by one of the finest doctors in the fleet aboard the most well-equipped ship, while Seven was treated by an EMH. Seven was also a Borg a lot longer than Picard.

Ok i guess I never saw it in that way.
But if the borg take everybody's arm and eye why didn't they took Picard's arm and eye? OOU because the producers/writers didn't want to have a captain armless and eyeless, IU i can't imagine a better expanation than the one given by you:

Seven was also a Borg a lot longer than Picard.

Then what, wasn't Locutus a "full" borg? In any case the producers should have done as they did with Seven, IMO of course.

[Nickswitz]

No, Locutus was the Borg's spokesperson to humanity, that's why, the queen wanted him to look like the rest of humanity so they would respect him as a spokesperson...

[Mikey]

Good point, Nick. In addition, they seemed to be willing to skip some of the assimilation process in order to put Locutus to work right away.

[Sonic Glitch]

It could also be that, since wasn't as with the Borg as long, his body/natural immune system was less dependent on Borg Technology.

No, Locutus was the Borg's spokesperson to humanity, that's why, the queen wanted him to look like the rest of humanity so they would respect him as a spokesperson...

"You wanted more than just another Borg Drone, you wanted a human being with a mind of his own who could bridge the gulf between Humanity and the Borg -- You wanted a Counterpart"

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

Locutus was a spokesman. Seven was a drone.

[SomosFuga]

No, Locutus was the Borg's spokesperson to humanity, that's why, the queen wanted him to look like the rest of humanity so they would respect him as a spokesperson...

Ok, good point.
