"Kate Confides", Interview with Kate Mulgrew by Lou Anders, Star Trek Monthly # 46, Nov -98. (British Star Trek magazine.)by Lou Anders.

There is no denying that season four was the season of Seven of Nine. In fact, it's astonishing how far the character has come in just under 26 episodes. "I think those were the orders from UPN," says Mulgrew. "It was an attempt to boost the ratings, and I think it was successful, although I don't follow the numbers. She was certainly given a great deal of attention and a great deal of press, and that was beneficial to the show."
Seven also seems to have shed some light on Janeway's character. In issue 44 of Star Trek Monthly, newly appointed Executive Producer Brannon Braga told readers that he felt Seven was the foil and partner Janeway had been lacking - the Spock to her Kirk, as it were. Does Mulgrew agree with this assessment? "I do, although we also have a warm relationship, she and I, which Jeri and I share. I think there's much to be explored here. I think I know what Brannon's saying. He's talking about a screen chemistry , and I'm all for that. I certainly think Seven has a wonderful and cruious strength on camera, which stimulates Janeway. There's something sort of physical about both of us that works in a challenging way, so I'd love to see that continue, but not to the exclusion of the other regular characaters. Brannon and I have talked about this at lenghth. I think the beauty of Start Trek: Voyager is this family, and no one should suffer. No one shoud be lost."
While their characters often sspark on stage, behind the camera it is a different story. "Jeri's a good ol' gal from Chicago, you know, and I'm an Iowa girl, so we laugh together and she's a sport. I think she had a tough year. She has a lot on her plate, and I think she does very well with Seven, and I like her."

I know the interview is outdated, but I found this intriguing and quite refreshing to read. Your opinion, good people of the message board? :-)
