Brannon Braga Wanted Seven of Nine to Sacrifice Herself in Voyager's Finale

One fact about Seven of Nine would have changed Voyager forever: Brannon Braga wanted Seven to sacrifice herself to get Voyager's crew home in the finale. He lost that argument. So that captain's chair on the Enterprise G is something we almost never got anywhere near.

Seven nearly didn't happen at all. Jeri Ryan originally turned down the role because she worried Star Trek would get her typecast. An audition scene about Seven remembering laughter helped change her mind. So imagine losing Seven before she even stepped onto the ship.

Her demanding way of talking was deliberate, too. Braga's writing rule was to give her commands instead of questions, like "Explain" and "state your demand." And apparently even her grammar had been assimilated.

How many of these Seven of Nine facts did you already know?
