 The original Borg costume Ryan wore during the second part of "Scorpion" took approximately two and a half hours to apply. When Ryan was first measured for the outfit, the costume designers failed to take into account the full head prosthetic required for the first and second episodes of the season. Because of this error in measurement, the costume cut off Ryan's carotid artery, causing her to pass out. After a nurse was called twice to supply oxygen, the costume was modified to prevent it from happening again.
