The location: Paramount's Stage 16, which could double for a wilderness right now given the lush, green landscaping that is today's set. Actress Jeri Ryan looks very un-Seven of Nine-like?she's wearing a terrycloth bathrobe over her Starfleet uniform, and is supporting her weight on a low cane in order to take pressure off of her injured foot. Star Trek: Voyager is just two days away wrapping filming on the season finale, written by series executive producer Brannon Braga and longtime producer Joe Menosky, who left the series this spring. The scene filming is set on a cyberworld that only select Borg drones have access to, Braga explains to Cinescape Online's Melissa J. Perenson. "It's kind of the Borg meets the Matrix," Braga says. "It's cyberspace. When certain drones who have the mutation step into their alcoves to regenerate, they wake up here. They're here for four hours a day. But when they leave, they're mindless drones again.
They don't remember anything. So Janeway is going to give them a way to remember, so they can take action in the real world. "The Collective is getting close to discovering this place, and even though maybe only 20,000 drones come here out of 20 billion, it poses a threat to the Collective. They need someone to help them on the outside, and so they brought Seven of Nine back in, because she has this mutation, she used to come here. And they need her help on the outside to stop the Collective from finding them. Janeway learns of this place?she realizes it has potential to maybe unravel the Borg once and for all. She sees it as a potential resistance movement, and she's going to find a way to let the drones retain their individuality in the real world, and possibly start a Borg revolt. "In the meantime, Seven, who used to come here for years and years, doesn't remember it, but she is gradually starting to remember she had a romantic relationship with this guy; they were in love. So Seven will have her first romance. "This is a cliffhanger. There will be a part two at the beginning of the year. We think of this as part III of the Borg Trilogy. There was 'Scorpion', where Seven of Nine was introduced, there was 'Dark Frontier', where Seven of Nine went back to the Collective, and this is the third and final part of the big Borg two hour things." |
