    I believe she was added just because some executive producer (no idea who that could have been) wanted to add a “sexy Borg babe”. But as you said, she ended up doing such a great job that she became one of the highlights of the series.

      Whereas Jolene Blalock was a fine actor, but never really rose much more above ‘sexy Vulcan’ in terms of writing. She had the good episode here and there, but they never really wrote her out of the ‘decontamination gel’ hole they put her in.

      And that’s why people remember Seven fondly and are relatively ambivalent about T’Pol.

        That’s not entirely accurate. They did put her in the captain’s chair in one episode…but also made her wear a crop-top uniform. Yeah, your point stands.
