The Jeri Ryan Fan Club

Has anyone reading this ever joined a fan club? I was doing a search on Jeri Ryan at the office (purely work related, I assure you) and the first site that popped up was her official fan club site. Not surprising. But when I opened the site there was only a letter saying that due to career and personal commitments, the founders and runners of the site no longer can longer continue their work.

Now, I am not trying to make fun of anyone. But what causes people to think, "Hey let's start a fan club." And why Jeri Ryan? Was she even on Star Trek Voyager (a magnet for fanatics no doubt) five years ago when this club started? I read somewhere else that she was a runner up in the Miss America pageant in 1990. Does that qualify you for a fan club? Again, no offense, but she was a supporting player in a somewhat popular syndicated show. Did her performance as "7 of 9" really change people's lives? Does Michael Dorn (AKA Worf) get a fan club, too? And then, why quit with the fan club? I can only imagine the conversation; "Honey, I know it's hard, but with me being up for partner at the firm and the second baby on the way, I just don't think we can spend the time we need on Jeri's page to make it really good. Jeri wouldn't like that, and we don't want to piss her off." I guess I always really believed that fan clubs were inventions of/run by movie studios and talent agencies as hype vehicles. Seeing this type of sincerity in a site without hype, is somewhat disturbing.

[NB: What I find disturbing is the fact that this is the second reference to Jeri Ryan on this site in the last week. I'm afraid we've just moved down a notch in the Geek Hierarchy.]

I would like to comment Jeri, and say that not only is she sexy (obviously), but in a Voyager episode, you did an outstanding job with the episode in which you debated you're human characheristics, and enacted in the Holydeck you're life, as a human with emotion (the one in which you were performing piano.)

I could never tell if it was Jeri performing or if it was later dubbed into the effects. I am a pianist and guitarist for a metal 80's band. So usually I can tell, but Jeri was able to perform this role very well as a creative type, I just wished that she could have diversified more into different roles other that "former borg", she is an increadible actress, and the writers of star trek Voyager were to say Genius at least, so with Jeri's presence as an actress, and the Majority of others I am sure complemented her role I.E. "Chakote", but Jeri is beautiful, and by far one of the best actresses I have seen.

Man, I wrote that Jerri Ryan post back in 2002. Long before most of us have even heard of Barak Obama. But it was the sordid details of her divorce, released during the 2004 Ill. senate campaign that caused her ex to drop out of the race. This allowed Barak Obama to easily win the election in a landslide. And you know the rest...
You can't make this stuff up.

There are a lot of people who love and admire Jeri Ryan. I don't think anyone of them have her email address and I don't think anyone would give it out to her fans anyway. She would be swamped with mail.
