Apparently, this was indeed a false rumor.

That article makes it seem less like he was fired because the show is terrible and more the show isn’t what it is because the dude is stretched thinner then Slenderman. ---

Yes, but I think what went down is enough to make a dodgy news site jump to the wrong conclusion, while also you can’t really trust a press release. ---

> [@Alessan](#): > > Really? They brought someone from Voyager and not from DS9? Lame. Not so lame. Picard and Seven both were assimilated by the Borg. Seven would have had a connection with Picard during his time as Locutus. Even after being rescued, both seem to have a vestigial connection to the Borg, and would presumably have had some type of telepathic connection to each other.
