You forgot the tertiary.

I'm not Trekkie enough to remember her whole Borg name.

Now let's see about you. Her whole human name is?

The sad truth is that I stopped watching Voyager around season 4, explicitly because of Seven of Nine. I was offended at the use of blatant sex appeal to boost their otherwise sagging ratings, although I think it worked - they made it the full 7 seasons. I was pretty young around this time, and I'm surprised that my hormones didn't kick in and override the logical part of my brain. Actually I remember looking at plenty of pictures of Jeri Ryan on the internet, so I guess the hormones were doing their job :).

The preceding paragraph was kind of stalling, as I'm blanking on her last name. I know her first name was Ana or Anna...can't for the life of me remember her last name or her parents'. Their ship had something to do with a raven though...

Dang, didn't even get that one right! Close though.

Annika.

I don't recall her last name, or much about her parents. But taking your daughter along on an expedition to study the Borg should qualify as child abuse.

I'm not a fan of Voyager, but most series can't help to have a few good episodes. So I kept watching it. I was more upset at how often they missed the boat, than about the technobabble to justify dressing Jeri Ryan in a skintight outfit and heels.

Yeah, I feel like the quality episode ratio was pretty low on Voyager, compared to DS9 or TNG (which were both excellent start-to-finish IMO). That also had a part in my decision, to be honest.

Oh, absolutely. The show's premise was flawed, too, which helped keep the quality low. I could go on about it, but I won't. I'll just say they took their time finding the Borg, and then spoiled the notion of the Borg as a major threat. Hint: a villain that destroys a big chunk of Starfleet cannot be a regular opponent for a single starship with limited resources.

But there were a few good eps, like the first Borg episodes, "The Year of Hell," and the Flash Gordon rip-off inside the holodeck with the "photonic" lifeforms. The whole idea for that one was ridiculous, of course, but you have to love a B&W spoof of bad pulp-heavy B movies of the past. Besides, in that one Seven amkes a joke and even chuckles: "Think of it as Starfleet's first contact with Planet X." :)

Most of my memories of sci fi women are about those I saw in the Chiller Theater features, 11:30 Saturday night.

There's always Susan Sarandon

Er, ...I was imaging the science fiction story where I discover this "Lucky You" Horseshoe tattoo on Scarlet Johansson. (yeah, that's how this fits here)
