Jeri Ryan Movies
Jeri Lynn Ryan is the stunning actress adored by science fiction fans for her portrayal of the Borg-human Seven of Nine on Star Trek: Voyager. She was born in Munich, Germany, but was raised on several military bases all over the world. Settling on Illinois for college, she joined a sorority and competed in beauty pageants, making it all the way to the Miss America Pageant in 1990. She started her acting career with TV movies (Co-Ed Call Girl) and made several guest appearances on shows like Matlock and Melrose Place. In 1997, she gained a reoccurring role on the short-lived NBC series Dark Skies and joined the cast of Voyager. She has since gained a loyal fan base for this role, which requires a costume so tight it takes nearly an hour to get into it. In 2001, she moved on to the role of Ronnie Cooke on the Fox drama Boston Public. She made her feature film breakthrough in Men Cry Bullets, followed by starring roles in The Last Man and Down With Love. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide
Somehow the entire population of the Earth has been obliterated, leaving the buildings standing and the preserved food intact. The environment seems to be OK, too. From the emptiness of the planet emerges Alan (David Arnott), a nebbishy anthropology graduate student who is coming to terms with his fate as the last man on Earth -- until he discovers Sarah (Jeri Ryan), a beautiful, intelligent woman who can't stand the idea that neurotic, portly Alan is the last man she'll ever be near. They make an encampment in a desert and begin their lives together -- him, delirious; her reluctant -- until they encounter Raphael (Dan Montgomery) hitchhiking along the road. Raphael, although a bit dim, is tall, handsome and fun-loving, and Alan finds that he has to change in order to compete for Sarah's affection, or spend his life without a woman. But nature is full of surprises. ~ Buzz McClain, All Movie Guide

As the crew of the Voyager eagerly looks forward to their imminent return to their home base in the Alpha Quadrant, the fifth-season opener of Star Trek: Voyager finds the ship's captain, Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew), in seclusion, grimly questioning her past judgments of command. As it turns out, the ship is not quite back on its own turf, meaning that more adventures must come to pass before the Voyager's lengthy space odyssey can be resolved. Of the many plot developments transpiring during season five, several stand out: Lt. Tom Paris' (Robert Duncan McNeill) humiliating demotion after refusing to obey an order he cannot justify to himself; the near-reassimilation of Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) into her old Borg Collective; the bleak future envisioned by crew members Chakotay (Robert Beltran) and Kim (Garrett Wang) unless they are able to turn back the clock some 15 years; the marriage of Paris and B'Elanna (Roxann Biggs-Dawson), and their subsequent holographic honeymoon; and a foray into chaotic space, where absolutely none of the usual rules of physics apply. Elsewhere, Voyager's holographic Doctor (Robert Picardo) continues his efforts to become more human; and in the episode "11:59," Janeway flashes back to the time when her 20th century ancestor saved the world on the brink of the millennium. And yes, season five ends on a cliffhanger. This time out, the Voyager's technology is captured by a hostile force, leaving everyone's fate in the balance. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Originally telecast as a two-hour "special" episode on February 17, 1999, the Star Trek: Voyager adventure "Dark Frontier" has since been telecast as two separate hour-long installments, and accordingly has been assigned two different episode numbers (it also boasted two different directors: Cliff Bole for Part I, Terry Windell for Part II). Highlighting the second half is the special effects department's visualization of the Borg City, which as much as anything else earned "Dark Frontier" an Emmy award. As for the plot: When the Borg realize that Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) intends to steal a piece of advanced technology in order to bring Voyager safely home to Earth, they threaten to destroy everyone involved unless their hostage, Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan), agrees to help squash Janeway's plan. Part II climaxes by Janeway's attempt to rescue her comrade, bringing her virtually face to face with the dreaded Borg Queen (here played by Susanna Thompson). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In a huge rolling energy ball called the Graviton Ellipse, Janeway and the crew try to rescue a trapped U.S. spacecraft. Originally the vanguard of the first manned mission to Mars, the American vessel -- and its skipper, Lt. John Kelly (Phil Morris) -- has been in a state of suspended animation since the year 2032. Janeway's (Kate Mulgrew) efforts to shepherd Kelly to safety end up having disastrous effects on her crew -- especially Chakotay (Robert Beltran). Written by Mike Wollaeger, Jessica Scott, Bryan Fuller, and Michael Taylor from a story by Wollaeger and Scott, "One Small Step" made its network TV bow on November 17, 1999. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Under attack from the hostile Turei race, Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) and the crew take refuge on a war-ravaged planet. Here they find the ruins of the Vaadwar civilization, whose surviving warriors slumber in biopods, awaiting reanimation so that they may wreak vengeance upon their enemies. Electing to align herself with the awakened Vaadwar, Janeway soon has cause to regret her decision. First telecast November 10, 1999, "Dragon's Teeth" was written by Michael Taylor, Brannon Braga, and Joe Menosky, from a story by Taylor. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
