“The scale of the show. The scale of these sets, the costumes, it’s crazy. It’s like you’re doing a feature film every week.” says Ryan of reprising her Star Trek: Voyager Seven of Nine role in this week's episode of the CBS All Access series. “In one of my scenes, where I had to go in and work a console, we go in for the first rehearsal and I had to touch buttons and the screen actually does something! And I totally flipped out, like: ‘Oh my god, actually having buttons that work!” The advancements also include the prosthetics she wears. “What’s funny is that they actually added time to my ready time. They made (Seven’s) prosthetics more complicated to put on," she says. "So now I actually do have prosthetic make-up to add, outside of the full Borg suit and make-up, that I didn’t have on the old show.” Ryan also admits being petrified -- or "Patrick-fied" -- of working with Patrick Stewart for the first time.
