@@Trigger200284 News flash, Star Trek was always 'woke' and Roddenberry was one of the original SJWs. American wartime foes on the bridge. First interracial kiss on TV. A gender fluid character in the early 90s. As an older fan I would never expect a franchise like Trek to pander to the worldview I am accustomed to forever.
This interview was way too short. She had a great playful sense of humor that worked well with Conan's comedic talents. I would have loved for her to have been given more time. 😄
7 of 9 must've been such a fantastic character to play, those internal conflicts she had and her journey back to re-discovering her humanity, plus her fondness of Naomi Wildman that she couldn't understand to start with, Jeri played it so well.
Jolene grew into her character quite well. She managed to show a surprising amount of compassion for the humans as a vulcan as she came to know them. I can also appreciate the foil that Seven of Nine represented concerning humanity in Voyager. Having a severely-traumatized victim of the Borg relearn how to be human is a helluva subtext in a Sci-Fi show. In all the Star Trek shows they address this quite often - Data for TNG, Spock for ToS, Odo (and sometimes Quark) in DS9.
Diana Rigg (Emma Peel) on the original Avengers had just as alluring outfit with her leather "catsuits". She was slinky, sexy, and gorgeous. AND she was an excellent actress to boot.
You never made a hot woman laugh have you. I have and yes its very nourishing, highly satisfying and it gives you a sense of glee mixed with a serotonin high.
You know they all wished they could have been Harry when she said to him take off your clothes and they would have said to her you will be (sounds similar to assimilated )
I miss every decade since the early 70s when I was born...something great about each one...life is too short...but it's also hard if you don't have a lot of money.
She was a real double threat on Voyager. Complete knockout but great actress and had some of the best lines and funnier moments on the show. I guess she was kind of a variation of TNG having Worf. She still looks amazing.
More an equivalent of TNG having Data, but whatevs... The whole "exploration of Humanity" arc of her character over the series. Though I guess there's also the "replacement character" aspect of Worf replacing Tasha Yar & 7 of 9 replacing Kes. But as far as the character arc, it was, I think, definitely more Data-like than Worf-like.

IDK if I could help it either, even on national television :P Or there's something about her dress he's pointing out to John Tesh? He later points to something... Maybe that or which chair to sit in?
Jeri as 7 of 9 is for me the best character Star Trek ever made. Pure aesthetics in appearance, posture and intellectual brilliance..... always a delight to watch. Such an amazing incoporation of that role ❤
Both her and Jolene Blaylock were acting so hard in their roles regardless of whether they were added as nerd eye-candy, which for some reason Star Trek did a lot (which, TBF, women probably also though about some of the male characters). I rewatched Voyager from start to finish a few years ago and 7of9 is probably the strongest character on the show. It's especially interesting when you realize theat neither of the actors' personalities are like the characters at all.
such a 90's--early 2000s time capsule. her outfit, the hairdo, the choker necklace. hell even Tesh's boxy suit. the upholstery of the couches/chairs. so fucking 90's
Between Judy Robinson from “Lost in Space” and Mrs. Emma Peel from “The Avengers”, I didn’t bat an eye when 7 of 9 first donned the silver skin tights; I was mostly knocked out by Jeri’s performance, in which her great beauty only enhanced the tragedy of her Borg experience. She had great writing, and really good storylines - she saved the show for me.
They did not forget. I recall the Dr saying something made custom for her - when he explains Janeway how he was removing her Borg implants and creating a “treatment” to make her as human as possible. There was something about her skin. Not explicit, but in line with what she said.
The Doctor briefly mentioned it once while the camera zoomed in onto Ryan's breasts in order to show how the outfit medically fused to her skin to begin the 4 year regeneration sequence. Thankfully, they continued to remind us all each episode with more zooming and closeups. This is because the writers understand it is better to show the science, rather than just talk about it.
He was worried about her not having a microphone and microphone transmitter. The transmitter usually is lockated in the small of woman's back and clipped to a belt or the top of the skirt or sometimes to underwear. Her pack and lav mic were waiting for her on the couch she clipped the mic right after she sat down. Source I did sound, had to clip transmitter pacs to plenty of attractive women without making them uncomfortable while sitting or moving around. Talkshows are much easier than movies or tv shows since on talk shows the gear can be in plain sight. Now I am paying attention to how mics and speakers are set up, can't help it at this point.
Beauty apart, Jeri Ryan did a remarkable job as an actress to give 7of9 the right mood, the right soul, sometimes even fixing the tone of scripts that in certain moments were not stellar... Epic character, one of the best in the StarTrek saga.
I was like every other doofus admirer of hers in Voyager but after seeing this all these years later, I wish her character had been allowed to smile. What a babe.
Met Jeri a few years ago at a uk Star Trek convention. She's incredibly beautiful and really lovely. Have a signed 7of9 picture that she signed at the convention framed and hung up on my living room at home
I watched all the previous Treks religiously, but Voyager was bad. They brought Jeri Ryan on save it, but her talent and beauty could mitigate the extreme suckiness of the show.
@@michaelbayer5094 Voyager was not good compared to the other Trek shows of the 90’s & 2000’s, but it’s a Masterpiece compared to JJ Abrams films and Alex Kurtzman Trek like Discovery.
@@goldenshark3182 Never watched Discovery. I wasn't paying CBS for a show whose look I didn't like even in the ads. Considering it picked up on the silly Temporal War storyline, I don't think I missed anything. The movies were one-shot deals. Whatever one thought, they were 90 minutes and done. Voyager required a weekly commitment, which I gave the first season. TNG 1st season was horrible, and DS9 took a few episodes to get better. However, before even following the Voyager's plot (the premise relies on the deus ex machina "Caretaker") and series arc, the characters were terrible. Janeway--Mulgrew's voice affectation was irritating. Also, another great captain, but why exactly? Yes, the audience immediately accepts the gravitas of an English accent, but a rhetorical nasal drone? Tuvok- -- mini-Spock rip=off Neelix- total rip-off of Quark, but not funny or well acted Kes - just weird concept Paris - spoiled bad-boy, rich kid of space. Chandler Bing but not funny. Harry Kim - combo of Chekov (esp. Kelvin one) and Wesley Crusher but just bland Chakotay - tried and failed to introduce a new dimension, a Native American character, but that was just a fact but poorly developed. Then there's the "I'm Maquis, but in my heart really a Starfleet purist", which is a rip-off of both Hutchinson and Eddington from DS9. B'Elanna -there's more to being Klingon than anger, shouting, and distemper. Seska - revealed as a Cardassian spy had potential, but Chakotay doesn't know his lover is a Cardi spy, and Tuvok, another spy on the Val Jean, does not know either? Also, 2 spies on Chakotay's ship? A former instructor in Advanced Tactical Training can't unmask either? Asking way too much of "suspension of disbelief". Sorry for the long rant, but I guess I still really hate this show. LOL
I was treating a young boy in my clinic and we were talking about star trek. His mother said what is interesting about star trek . He looked at me and I looked at him and in unison we said seven of nine. His mother said what is a seven of nine? We just smiled .
i am a normal guy and like pretty Women as much as anybody, but the bodysuit used to irritate the hell out of me because it was SO blatantly a sex appeal ratings grab and not what i watch Star Trek for. they did the same thing with T'Pol on Enterprise, there were so many episodes where she ended up in just panties and thin midriff top and no bra. and she CLEARLY had a boob job. used to irritate the crap out of me, why the hell would a Vulcan have a boob job but she clearly does. if you insist on trying to cash in on sex appeal i am sure you can find a lovely actress with real boobs at least to play a Vulcan. Christ i watch star Trek for Star Trek, if i want to watch porn then i will watch porn. you know something i have NEVER watched a single episode of?

such a 90's--early 2000s time capsule. her outfit, the hairdo, the choker necklace. hell even Tesh's boxy suit. the upholstery of the couches/chairs. so fucking 90's
A far superior time in every way
Possibly my favorite Star Trek character of all time!
Wish they’d make Star Trek Legacy, we need more Jeri Ryan!
Between Judy Robinson from “Lost in Space” and Mrs. Emma Peel from “The Avengers”, I didn’t bat an eye when 7 of 9 first donned the silver skin tights; I was mostly knocked out by Jeri’s performance, in which her great beauty only enhanced the tragedy of her Borg experience. She had great writing, and really good storylines - she saved the show for me.
He never shuts up and lets the guests speak!!! Jeri is magnificent
But he does make everyone laugh unlike other talk show hosts.
Conan was great in this one. And she's a real doll, nice person
The regenerative properties of the catsuits were so important, they forgot to mention them on the show 😂
They did not forget. I recall the Dr saying something made custom for her - when he explains Janeway how he was removing her Borg implants and creating a “treatment” to make her as human as possible. There was something about her skin. Not explicit, but in line with what she said.
It was one line after they introduced her in the catsuit after removing all of the Borg stuff.
The Doctor briefly mentioned it once while the camera zoomed in onto Ryan's breasts in order to show how the outfit medically fused to her skin to begin the 4 year regeneration sequence. Thankfully, they continued to remind us all each episode with more zooming and closeups. This is because the writers understand it is better to show the science, rather than just talk about it.
The only one not noticing was you
Seven of nines suit was well ahead of its time, the regenerative suits of today are made of botox and silicone!
so so attractive and a great actress, still love what you brought jeri
0:22 dude admiring her…. calves.
He was worried about her not having a microphone and microphone transmitter. The transmitter usually is lockated in the small of woman's back and clipped to a belt or the top of the skirt or sometimes to underwear. Her pack and lav mic were waiting for her on the couch she clipped the mic right after she sat down. Source I did sound, had to clip transmitter pacs to plenty of attractive women without making them uncomfortable while sitting or moving around. Talkshows are much easier than movies or tv shows since on talk shows the gear can be in plain sight. Now I am paying attention to how mics and speakers are set up, can't help it at this point.
Beauty apart, Jeri Ryan did a remarkable job as an actress to give 7of9 the right mood, the right soul, sometimes even fixing the tone of scripts that in certain moments were not stellar... Epic character, one of the best in the StarTrek saga.
Someone who plays an alien sitting next to an alien
Jeri Ryan was best as 7 of 9, she was excellent! She's so talented she earned a Saturn Award. Very beautiful Ryan is.🥰💜💜💜💜
5:03 now that's was a good joke... her laugh was quite authentic there.
You've got to love Conan's self-deprecating humor.
amazing run on that show...she absolutely made the show better
I was like every other doofus admirer of hers in Voyager but after seeing this all these years later, I wish her character had been allowed to smile. What a babe.

I've watched her so much in Voyager, it's strange to see her as a normal person.
Lovely indeed.

Resistance was futile for Harry Kim!!
Met Jeri a few years ago at a uk Star Trek convention. She's incredibly beautiful and really lovely. Have a signed 7of9 picture that she signed at the convention framed and hung up on my living room at home
I should watch this star trek probably ❤
I watched all the previous Treks religiously, but Voyager was bad. They brought Jeri Ryan on save it, but her talent and beauty could mitigate the extreme suckiness of the show.
@@michaelbayer5094 I see, maybe 1 season then
@@michaelbayer5094 Voyager was not good compared to the other Trek shows of the 90’s & 2000’s, but it’s a Masterpiece compared to JJ Abrams films and Alex Kurtzman Trek like Discovery.
@@goldenshark3182 Never watched Discovery. I wasn't paying CBS for a show whose look I didn't like even in the ads. Considering it picked up on the silly Temporal War storyline, I don't think I missed anything. The movies were one-shot deals. Whatever one thought, they were 90 minutes and done. Voyager required a weekly commitment, which I gave the first season. TNG 1st season was horrible, and DS9 took a few episodes to get better. However, before even following the Voyager's plot (the premise relies on the deus ex machina "Caretaker") and series arc, the characters were terrible.
Janeway--Mulgrew's voice affectation was irritating. Also, another great captain, but why exactly? Yes, the audience immediately accepts the gravitas of an English accent, but a rhetorical nasal drone?
Tuvok- -- mini-Spock rip=off
Neelix- total rip-off of Quark, but not funny or well acted
Kes - just weird concept
Paris - spoiled bad-boy, rich kid of space. Chandler Bing but not funny.
Harry Kim - combo of Chekov (esp. Kelvin one) and Wesley Crusher but just bland
Chakotay - tried and failed to introduce a new dimension, a Native American character, but that was just a fact but poorly developed. Then there's the "I'm Maquis, but in my heart really a Starfleet purist", which is a rip-off of both Hutchinson and Eddington from DS9.
B'Elanna -there's more to being Klingon than anger, shouting, and distemper.
Seska - revealed as a Cardassian spy had potential, but Chakotay doesn't know his lover is a Cardi spy, and Tuvok, another spy on the Val Jean, does not know either? Also, 2 spies on Chakotay's ship? A former instructor in Advanced Tactical Training can't unmask either? Asking way too much of "suspension of disbelief".
Sorry for the long rant, but I guess I still really hate this show. LOL
One of my favorites. Said with respect .... she's amazingly beautiful, both inside and out.
25 years ago! Jeez! 😮
I like that they brought her in for picard and you could tell she had fully embraced her humanity
@ 2:46 Love Conan's hand gesture when questioning the 7 of 9 outfit.
As a Brit she is gorgeous, her designation should be 10 of 10 !!!!
I was treating a young boy in my clinic and we were talking about star trek. His mother said what is interesting about star trek . He looked at me and I looked at him and in unison we said seven of nine. His mother said what is a seven of nine? We just smiled .
John Tesh….when Teshies attack !
oh yeah that's who that dude was/is (/was? I'm not googling someone I never cared about 20 years ago)
@@withershin He played a holographic Klingon on one episode of TNG
Jeri Ryan has been my crush since voyager was airing and will always be my crush. Such an beautiful and talented woman.
Red is truly her color! Wow.
Not convinced that someone this delicate can make a living as an elite athlete.
she's so beautiful
Jeri Ryan is a "number ten" in all repects, is totally under-rated and is an incredable human.
And she looked best in her dresses in the holodeck. Never needed the silly body suit.
i am a normal guy and like pretty Women as much as anybody, but the bodysuit used to irritate the hell out of me because it was SO blatantly a sex appeal ratings grab and not what i watch Star Trek for.
they did the same thing with T'Pol on Enterprise, there were so many episodes where she ended up in just panties and thin midriff top and no bra. and she CLEARLY had a boob job. used to irritate the crap out of me, why the hell would a Vulcan have a boob job but she clearly does. if you insist on trying to cash in on sex appeal i am sure you can find a lovely actress with real boobs at least to play a Vulcan. Christ i watch star Trek for Star Trek, if i want to watch porn then i will watch porn. you know something i have NEVER watched a single episode of? Bay Watch. you can go watch hot girls without watching tripe.
@@KingValisFelixyou are wrong. Then you are wrong some more. Then you are wrong one last time.
@@KingValisFelix that it was a show for teenage boys in the 90's. It's always been mostly violence and sex for males of all ages.
I was a teenage boy in the 90s and believe me. We had porn.
@@kraglord1997 I lived in Arkansas in the 90's...all we could get was so called "soft porn", but there was a bunch of it!!
Best character arc in Star Trek.
11 of 10
Her character was so successful because she's a brilliant actor, many have tried and failed
She has some of the nicest not-elbows anywhere! Funny that John Tesh was there before her, as he played a Klingon in an episode of Next Generation once. He got to jab Worf with a pain stick!!
Great to see her laugh.
Seven of Mine ! 🥰
I have now watched the first thirty seconds of this video an abnormal amount of times.
