I think another part of me wishes that they kept more implants on Seven before removing all of it (Sorry, Jeri, I know you hated the whole makeup thing).
I wish they played up more about how truly dangerous it was to have Seven of Nine aboard before she acclimated to the Voyager way of life. Seven says that most of the crew are afraid of her and Tom concurred but we didn't really see it.
The showrunners were so overeager for Sexy Borg Lady that they skipped through a really great narrative about how scary and dangerous it was to have a barely reformed Borg onboard.
Having a Borg aboard should have been like a livewire situation. Handled with extreme care.
Unfortunately, it seems the network and Berman only allowed up to three episodes of continuity. Seven being in her partial Borg get up in The Gift (4x02) was already pushing it.
Seven is friendly (for a newly severed Borg) but don't think for one second she's not dangerous.
I wish Voyager leaned more into Seven as the most dangerous entity on that ship next to Janeway.
Just like in Killjoys how no one ever forgot in the show and in the overall narrative that the most dangerous person in Team Awesome Force was Dutch.
Or how Buffy is the thing monsters are afraid of.
Seven was quite literally part of the galactic boogeyman.
Also, who else has had such a metal introduction?
