Seven of Nine

Holy SHIT the ability to connect with a character after 20 YEARS like this is INSANE

I watched an interview with Jeri Ryan where she talked about how difficult it was finding Seven’s voice in the Picard script. She said she “started to panic” but then she called Jonathan del Arco and he said the “What if she talks differently because she had to?”. 

And that’s so powerful to me. Because Jeri can obviously find Seven in her movements and in the way she speaks but she also considers how Seven faced a society that wasn’t accepting of her, where people might even have feared her. So Seven had to change parts of herself to conform. Jeri gives us something that is both so clearly Seven and is also changed in ways that is grounded in an understanding of what her character must have lived through for 20 years and how that affected her.
