Girls don’t want boys, girls want Seven of Nine in a Starfleet uniform.
She’s a civilian. She never went to the academy. She doesn’t have a rank. And she’s not even a member of the starfleet. Why on earth (or on whatever planet) she should wear a starfleet uniform? She’s not even entitled to wear it. Stop it.
If the Maquis are wearing a Starfleet uniform since season 1, she has the right to wear one as well as a member of the crew.
The only reason she is wearing a tight catsuit with heels is to please the male viewers.
I guess MIles O’Brien isn’t entitled to wear the uniform either then.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but Picard gave Wesley a field promotion to Ensign and let him wear the uniform before he even went to the Academy.
Seven could’ve easily been given a field promotion, or just let her fucking wear a uniform without pips/rank so she would’ve felt included as part of the crew.
It’s so easy to see how they could have given her a uniform for in universe reasons. So many easy ways. Not the least because Voyager has to do a lot of things differently in the Delta Quadrant. Arguing with in universe reasons for her to stay in the catsuit quickly becomes silly becomes we all know nothing within the Star Trek universe demanded Jeri Ryan to wear a suit that literally made it hard for her to breathe. So when I personally say “Give her a starfleet uniform”, I’m actually saying: I really, really wish Jeri Ryan’s health and the integrity of the character had been more important to the creators of Voyager than the idea of a “borg babe” was.
Also? Even if they didn’t give her a Starfleet uniform, there is no damn reason her civilian clothing had to be a catsuit – see the tunics Janeway wears off duty, or B’Elanna’s dresses, or Kes’ every day wear (and also Keiko O’Brien and Kasidy Yates, etc – there are any number of examples) so this argument that ~she’s not a true member of Starfleet~ still does not justify the catsuit at all.
This. Seven deserves the same uniform the Maquis got. A field promotion. Something.
Also, in the one episode where she wear one, she looks amazing.
Miles is entitled to wear the uniform, because he’s enlisted. He talks about how he joined Starfleet. Officers go to the Academy, but there are enlisted ranks who train somewhere else.
Lol I wasn’t actually looking for this exact moment but it fits. The woman saved their asses all the time. Pretty sure a uniform wouldn’t be too much to ask. This one was particularly nice (from Relativity, I believe.)
