The Rock VS The Borg & Seven of Nine

In this corner, let us present a professional wrestler turned actor - Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock.  In the opposite corner, we give you a cyborg torn from her human family - one Seven of  Nine, played by Jeri Ryan.  Who will emerge victorious in this brutal art of unarmed combat? 

These two beautiful people squared off in the action packed episode, Tsunkatse, on Star Trek: Voyager. After their fictitious pugilistic bout, Jeri Ryan continued in television by joining the cast of Boston Public, while The Rock went on to mega movie fame in huge blockbuster movies.

Star Trek Sexy Spotlight - Seven of Nine - Jeri Ryan

Seven of Nine is Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 01.  Well, at least she used to be.  When Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) and her Voyager starship crew encountered the Borg in the Delta Quadrant, 7of9 was employed as a kind of go between to the Starfleet crew to help defeat Species 8472.  Actress Jeri Ryan (Boston Public) then joined the UPN TV show as a regular cast member.

Seven joined the starship on its journey to the Alpha Quadrant - using her enhanced capabilities and wide reaching knowledge she shared while part of the vast Borg collective. Before being just a number, Seven was a little human girl named Annika Hansen.  Her parents, intrepid scientists and explorers, brought her along on a study mission of the rampaging cybernetic race.  This led to her assimilation as a Borg drone.

Though her guarded and outright standoffish behavior made her alienate some, she eventually became an indispensable member of the Voyager crew, and made friends with many, including; Neelix, Naomi Wildman, Doc (Robert Picardo) and even engaged in romantic relations with first officer Chakotay - Robert Beltran.  Seven and Janeway clashed often, but in the end, the conflicts usually led to practical solutions to the struggles the crew faced while warping home to Earth.

Star Trek used the incredible holodeck for fun, exploring, simulation and experimentation.  Now, we have Oculus Rift Virtual Reality Headset to explore Star Trek: Voyager.

Although still not commercially available as a product, the Oculus Rift may also allow users to explore Game Of Thrones or Jerry Seinfeld's apartment.  In the demo available for viewing on YouTube, one can stroll around Captain Janeway's starship bridge - as the ship's various stations blink and beep merrily.  But don't be lulled into a false sense of security - before you know it, Red Alerts sound and a frantic battle scene grips the Intrepid Class Starship.
