Imagine how scary that would be? 'Seven to sickbay! l have brown, foul smelling, partially solid matter evacuating my body . . . l think I'm dying.' Sickbay: "Send the holographic doctor."
Weird, now as a father, I can recognize that the way she's holding the fork is the same as a child first learning to use one. That must have been intentional and is a nice subtle detail. :)
I don’t know if you did but i watched this as a kid. I was about 13. Now as an adult, it’s nice to see the producers and actors put in that much work, it makes this rewatchable, and fun
She is a brilliant actress - the startle response when Neelix moved her chair; her gripping of the fork; her insensitive cataloging of Talaxians; the grimace when swallowing; the dubious looks. Entirely inhabiting her character, I don't think anyone since Spiner exhibited such an amazing performance.
This comment might be a year old, but you're totally spot on. The motion she made when he pushed the chair in was brilliant. Star trek is usually more about the concept than the execution, just look at any given fight scene, but her performance is fantastic
Eh ... I wouldn't compare her to any other actor because I don't think like that but - she did do a good job here and I noted all those things too ... along with how well that costume fit her ... .
Voyager became a far better show when Seven was introduced. Yes, she was HOT beyond reason but Jeri Ryan was incredible in the role. She truely inhabited that character.
@@potaterjim Actually the chair thing she is probably used to. Her reaction is the sour look hot chicks give when they are not happy on their date! lol
Jeri Ryan has said that her son (who was a young child at this time) was a big influence on how she played Seven’s facial and body reactions. The back and forth with Neelix makes this scene so memorable.
@@donlapham1265 The very strong memory recall and negative emotions associated with encounters with several restaurants, chefs and cooks immediately comes to mind!
I always liked how Nelix was concerned about the well being of the crew so much that he even reintroduced 7 to eating. The flower was a very nice touch.
+Dustin Wrye You'll have to queue up behind many others who said that first. Here's your ticket, sir - you are 1,000,000,001. Shame, you just missed out on the billionth-in-line special prize!
I like the fact that Nelix was still curtious and pleasant, even as 7 of 9 Was explaining how the borg had assimilated his people, when he could've been other wise.
Seven of Nine is the ultimate Trek fantasy composite, right? She has the flat affect of Spock and Data. She is a Borg, who, it can be argued are (still) the most elemental threat to and species, and as such serves a foil to the entire Trek philosophical conceit of humanity. And the sex appeal is "set to stun."
Much later, after one of Chakotay and Seven's dates, Chakotay tells Neelix "Thank You!" and walks away. Neelix never figures out what he was being thanked for.
It's generally a bad idea to tell the person whose making your food that your species assimilated his species. It increases the chances that your food might come with that extra saliva spice.
Taken out of context this might sound just a little bit awkward. "That's the way! Right into your mouth... now take it out... keep your mouth closed... and now swallow! You'll get used to it..."
You'd think that the Borg would have assimilated the knowledge of how to eat, even if they weren't using it. They know all sorts of stuff they didn't use.
Okay, I really gotta ask... What is up with the Neelix hate? He's a lovable goof with heroic and selfless qualities that shine through every so often. He's not Jar Jar Binks from Star Wars, who has no redeeming qualities whatsoever, so why is he constantly compared to him?
+Judge Dredd I disagree. Jar Jar Binks had no skills or redeeming qualities (with the possible exception of Fool's Luck). Neelix, while a bit goofy, does have useful skills and knowledge.
Not just cooking, he also has extensive knowledge about the navigation and local cultures of his region of the Delta Quandrant. He can also actually use a weapon instead of just taking out enemies by pure luck like Jar Jar did.
This scene where Neelix is trying to figure out what to prepare for Seven(whom has not eaten in a very long time), reminds me of the "Cogenitor" episode of Enterprise where Trip Tucker is trying to look for a movie for the cogenitor whom has not seen a movie ever.
wait, Neelix has dense musculature? I can't recall an episode of voyager where he demonstrated even moderate 'super strength'. The writers totally missed out on using that.
The fact that Neelix thinks steaming and frying food is the same, explains why everybody hates his cooking. It doesn't explain why they never kicked this conman off their ship
Bet some came back when she had to go to the toilet. You know she had to go to the doctor to ask where to go, and how to go. She got to live it all over again when the children came aboard, except from the other side.
@@billthompson5644 She made some hardcore porn movies before her Voyager role. Look on the net and you'll find them soon enough. They're worth watching, trust me!
I think both actors are much better than they showed in the series. I think the could have shown than i a movie crossover of voyager ds9 and tng. But producers prefered to make bad movies that gone bad in box office.
They should've had a funny French or Italian cook on the Voyager. That would've been interesting. Just some simple Spaghetti and Chocolate Souffles as desert would've been way better than the bullshit Neelix is giving her to eat. Also, the audience could relate.
I've only sporadically seen episodes of VOY, & TNG I saw a long time ago, so I know about the borg, but how did the borg ( in the collective) eat, shower, & use the bathroom? I know they had a large part of them that were artificial, but since part of them was organic, wouldn't they still have certain bodily functions?
They didn't eat, that was outlined in another episode. Nor drink. In which case they didn't use the bathroom, because nothing was ingested. Borg drones are self sustainable as long as they're connected to the collective. As for showering well they never sweated so no need for hygiene either. All biological functions ceased. You have to imagine that they're dead, but the nanoprobes prevent decomposition.
To be fair he built his kitchen from scratch made out of random shit he cobbled together so it’s possible that’s just a downside of not having the proper equipment
Talaxian food is known to be very spicy. I always thought it would be funny if the spice hit her and she pulled the flowers out of the vase to chug the water, lol.
"Just like a little scout ship flying into a shuttle bay". You know, I think I would have saved that analogy for when it was time to introduce Seven to something else.....
tscoffey1 In fact, with a little malice, 7o9 in this early phase could have been easily used as a sex slave... imagine the things that could be thaught her :-D
I would imagine that since she has never eaten before, learning to do it properly is going to be a challenge. I mean, if you do it wrong it can even kill you unless there happens to be someone around to perform the Heimlich Manoeuvre on you.
Obviously your Mother/Wife is a lousy cook.. of course I would. I'm also a good host. Seriously though, they do have bombs that can assimilate entire star systems over night via the air you breathe. So yeah, odds are I would continue eating.
Great now I have an image of Neelix stood outside a bathroom giving Seven advice on how to take a shit whilst you can hear her inside making pained noises in my head
I love how he's trying to help her and make the experience special for her even while she's upsetting him. Thanks for uploading!
That is what I love about him, he always seemed so kind and jovial no matter what.
Every ship needs a good heart.
She's not purposefully trying to upset him.
Neelix always was a kind and great spirit. :) No wonder Janeway talked a lot to him. He did a bit of counselling aswell :D
Neelix was never easy to anger. He's a people person, though with a much more cheerful disposition
Someones gonna have to teach her about the magical wonderland of pooping
I never thought of that! Imagine how weird it would be to have shit (literally) coming out of your rectum for the first time in years!
Imagine how scary that would be? 'Seven to sickbay! l have brown, foul smelling, partially solid matter evacuating my body . . . l think I'm dying.'
Sickbay: "Send the holographic doctor."
CCJJ160Channels Doctor comes in and quietly busts a nut
& the three seashells....
Seven to transporter room ! One poop load to beam out of my rectum !
Weird, now as a father, I can recognize that the way she's holding the fork is the same as a child first learning to use one. That must have been intentional and is a nice subtle detail. :)
Maybe she's a southerner.
That’s awesome. Other shows wouldn’t have put in that much effort to level of detail
I don’t know if you did but i watched this as a kid. I was about 13. Now as an adult, it’s nice to see the producers and actors put in that much work, it makes this rewatchable, and fun
She is a mother. Maybe she used watching her child during their firsts was an inspiration.
I'm a southerner. I've never seen anyone but a small child eat like that. Don't talk about things you know nothing about.@@peter9314

Preparation is irrelevant, your food will be assimilated.
lol
Damn you, you beat me to it.
😂
Wonder who had to tutor her on how to manage the end result of digestion.
When you hungry but the cook is trying to go all out
Data:"this tastes disgusting"
Guinan:"more?"
Data: "please"
Yes...that is it! I hate this! This is revolting!
@@donlapham1265 The way Spiner delivered that was absolutely brilliant.
Hahah I remember that
That was a great scene
@@donlapham1265 The very strong memory recall and negative emotions
associated with encounters with several restaurants, chefs and cooks immediately comes to mind!
he says he's going to steam it but then he stirfries it wtf
+TheIncredibleD1701 I noticed that as well. Apparently to Neelix, if steam rises from the cooking apparatus, then it's steamed.
+absolutezerok Don't call people stupid or "*******"s, he's a goof, but not unintelligent.
+absolutezerok I'm sensitive, but not overly and no more insulting, please, just live and let live.
I thought maybe what ever it was, was originally steamed and he was just heating it back up again in the wok?
Haven't you ever given children false information which they take as fact?? It messes their mind for years :)). It's very fun :))
I always liked how Nelix was concerned about the well being of the crew so much that he even reintroduced 7 to eating. The flower was a very nice touch.
"I'll steam your food"
> Fucking pan fries it lol
No, that's a steamer
Looks like a wok.
It's funny that she holds the fork just like children do when they 1st start using utensils. Either her or the writers were right on top of that one.
She was 6 when she was assimilated
"We'll go easy on you. Let's try steamed."
(starts stir frying it)
I love the innocence of this scene. It always makes me smile.
2:15 "Scout ship flying into a shuttle bay"...the space version of "landing the plane" for people eating food, I guess
no1reallycaresabout2 I would put my scout ship in her shuttle bay. ;)

+Dustin Wrye what can you sign that i can read and bang on this thing look me smart too
Ya dont say
Love seeing the little Snippets from Star Trek. Brings back some great memories!
That guy is so nice.
Talaxians are a very hospitable and generous species. One thing I always respected about them
Seven: Curious sensation.
Neelix: Wait til it comes out later.
Poor girl hasn't eaten in twenty years, and for her first meal, she is at the mercy of Neelix's culinary skill. :(
At least she won't know it is horrible.
and here I am thinking the Federalation had outlawed Torture.
It was this sort of thing that I liked about star trek. Making something as simple as eating into an exploration of what we take for granted.
I like the fact that Nelix was still curtious and pleasant, even as 7 of 9

Jeri is so great, you know she's a huge foodie and is married to a French chef now! 😘

IKR such cheerful dinner conversation.
She’s lucky she didn’t do this with a less good hearted chef
"Preperation is irrelevant" i love how neelix says it
Goodness her awkwardness is so adorable
Jeri Ryan had it all, good looks, incredible acting talent. She took to playing Seven of Nine like a duck to water.
Love how seven is adjusting to food
“Their dense musculature made them excellent drones.”
Compliments from the Borg; now that’s a rare sight.
Taken out of context this might sound just a little bit awkward.
"That's the way! Right into your mouth... now take it out... keep your mouth closed... and now swallow! You'll get used to it..."
no. no meat in my mouth; I'm a vegetarian.
What about the chew chew chew chew part? That's not good! 😂😂😂
Kaiser Emile, how many times did I say that!!
Hahaha v gud
No...no...wait...there's......ughhh gravy.........
“They were easily assimilated”. That line always* cracks me up
God bless Nelix he is one of my favourite characters a blessing too have on any ship and I would totally be his best friend after Tuvok of course
"Borg do not sit."
No wonder they're so cranky
Alex Kurtsman: "But where are the pew-pew shooty explosions?"
I love Nelix...suck a wonderful person...so humble and kind.
Man, Jeri Ryan was such a knock out.
+CCJJ160Channels She still is, even at 48.
***** - I haven't seen her recently in anything, but I'll have to check her out, thanks!
Was!? Was? She still is! Some women become more desirable with the passing of time. She is one of them.
She still is, remember she's not old right now folks.
Never found her good looking, but nowadays she looks awful
Seven later discovered the wonders of cheesecake.
Though the doctor seemed to appreciate it more than her xD
@@erinocelotl3578 Isn't that just how everyone reacts to cheesecake?
Jeri Ryan still has it going on. I mean, set phasers to stunning! She done gave me the pon farr!
This seen does kind of highlight how awkward eating is, if you break it down to a technical exercise.
You'd think that the Borg would have assimilated the knowledge of how to eat, even if they weren't using it.
They know all sorts of stuff they didn't use.
They knew how to eat.. it was just irrelevant to them
They don't ingest food, so such things for them are irrelevant
Okay, I really gotta ask... What is up with the Neelix hate? He's a lovable goof with heroic and selfless qualities that shine through every so often. He's not Jar Jar Binks from Star Wars, who has no redeeming qualities whatsoever, so why is he constantly compared to him?

MiSt 526 Well he has a lot of knowledge of the delta quardrant but that doesn't forgive him for being annoying.
Ethan Phillips does a great acting job here, one of the best scene in Voyager.
God shes a amazing woman!
LOL gotta give credit to Neelix for not freaking out.
This scene where Neelix is trying to figure out what to prepare for Seven(whom has not eaten in a very long time), reminds me of the "Cogenitor" episode of Enterprise where Trip Tucker is trying to look for a movie for the cogenitor whom has not seen a movie ever.
2:55 She even looks up... she'll do just fine 😉😁
When I first saw Voyager, I was too young to realize how hot Seven is.
Jesus.
Jeri Ryan is up there with Brent Spiner for best Trek actor.
There were times when Jeri Ryan was an outstanding actress and quite lovely as Seven. Too bad no body else in Hollywierd thought so
That Jeri Ryan was such a sweetheart back then, what a looker.
wait, Neelix has dense musculature? I can't recall an episode of voyager where he demonstrated even moderate 'super strength'. The writers totally missed out on using that.
The fact that Neelix thinks steaming and frying food is the same, explains why everybody hates his cooking. It doesn't explain why they never kicked this conman off their ship
Being a Borg for a very long time must have affected her memory. She must have forgotten certain human behaviors.
Bet some came back when she had to go to the toilet. You know she had to go to the doctor to ask where to go, and how to go.
She got to live it all over again when the children came aboard, except from the other side.
Even tough she cannot handle a fork and eating, She is one sexy ex-borg.
Neelix: Swallow.
Seven: Swallow? I know all about that. Lieutenant Paris taught me that last night.
Neelix:................
Say what you want about the borg...but they do good breast enhancements.
Well they are simply attempting to reach perfection, after all...
BORG "IMPLANTS" ;)
Too bad we didn't get to see up close and personal
@@billthompson5644 She made some hardcore porn movies before her Voyager role. Look on the net and you'll find them soon enough. They're worth watching, trust me!

I think I'd rather plug into the wall like Hugh than eat something prepared by Neelix.
Swallow swallow swallow .. is what I would say
LOL don't think it would really be TV friendly, love the comment, funniest one yet.

Neelix is so cute in this scene 😍😍
he says "steamed" and proceeded to wok.
Man...some Borg are really beautiful! :)
Never understood why Neelix's wok is right up in his face
maybe because starfleet standart equipment isn´t made for smaller people.
try to work in a RL kitchen if you´re only 1,64m. ;)
its good for the pores innit
To be fair he built his kitchen from scratch made out of random shit he cobbled together so it’s possible that’s just a downside of not having the proper equipment
I wonder which crew member she consulted when it was time to take a dump?
Paris of course. He has an entire holodeck library dealing with the subject.
Love the raised eyebrow. . . . 😆

Luv the thought of Seven swallowing!
One of my favorite Q scenes is when he calls Nelix "Bar Rodent".
Here for the comments.
I want to eat 7 of 9's pie 🥧 😋.
I would imagine that since she has never eaten before, learning to do it properly is going to be a challenge. I mean, if you do it wrong it can even kill you unless there happens to be someone around to perform the Heimlich Manoeuvre on you.
I wonder if her and Data would get along....
'keep your mouth closed'....
"I'll steam it for you." [puts food in wok]
0:13 did he just say...steamed?
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... Jerrrriiiii Ryyyaannn!!
Neelix - The Thalaxian Jar Jar Binks.
Your food will adapt and service us!
Jeri Ryan plays her role so fabulous.
Without Seven, Star Trek Voyager would have been only half that good.
The next morning - 'No.. The food was fine. Just use the toilet if ...'
"You'll get used to it...seeing as you'll *die* otherwise."
Neelix giving Seven instructions on swallowing...really makes you think...
Ships cook is a cornerstone of any good ship. Replicators be damned.
I some how doubt that the Borg, in all their time assimilating thousands of cultures, never assimilated anyone at dinner time.
Would you stay eating your dinner when surrounded and pursued by a bunch of drones?
Obviously your Mother/Wife is a lousy cook.. of course I would. I'm also a good host.
Seriously though, they do have bombs that can assimilate entire star systems over night via the air you breathe. So yeah, odds are I would continue eating.
I can only imagine the lingering smell in that lounge
An A+ SUPURB Rack......
Thats my Kentucky gal!
Imagine finding one of his hairs in it.
Haha Neelix's expression at 2:39
LOL! :)
It's amazing how long it took for humans to invent utensils.
wait til she deals with the other end of the process 🤣
