continued from this post:

@lovecanbesostrange: For the Borg stuff, pretty much what you usually talk about. I mean we can't go back and add that many visible implants/reminders. They really gave us beautiful-woman-in-tight-suit and when it fit the narrative it was "btw her head can open up and this is her actual vision". But mostly it felt like her nanobots and some enhanced senses were a nice deal. tbh I don't think PIC S2 did that good of a job to highlight what it meant for Seven to be 100% human. And in a show

Honestly? I agree with you -- it's like they had it in the first 3 episodes, and then just lightly touched on it after -- again, 10 episodes is not enough time with a story with such big ideas.

There's so much they could have done more than the visual of Seven not having her implants anymore. Seven was fully Human -- not just visually Human.

This means a lot of changes to Seven, not just intellectually. She had a visual acuity of 99.3% or something. She could see temporal changes. Her vision had a green filter.

The fact that she's not bowled over at seeing full color the whole time, like people who were color blind and seeing the full spectrum of color the first time is frankly astonishing.

Seven, being frustrated at not being as strong, being amazed she doesn't hear anything more than the ordinary person.

And she doesn't have steel running through her bones, which means she is also physically lighter.

She should find trade-offs to being fully Human. She finds that she loves it but also realizes she kind of hates it too and misses some of the things her implants gave her.

But the show is called Picard and at the end of the day, they will prioritize the time and scene-stopping moments when Picard has to hallucinate about his dead mother. (Sorry, I'm salty about the middle part so much).

lovecanbesostrange: with her as the center character again, we could maybe find some odd curiosities about her day to day behavior. Like everything you mention here. Including the standing for example. || I was actually more interested in the Romulans and the Borg separately than anything to do with the main AI storyline. Everything was way too big in PIC (which is also why I don't enjoy lots of stuff in DSC; make it smaller!).

This is where I trust in Terry Matalas, I know Terry from 12 Monkeys, and I trust he would handle Seven's story well. I also tracked what he said he wanted to do if given the chance to run with a new show -- and that he would love to go back to episodic storylines with some linking arcs.

Terry also likes writing about characters who carry a lot of guilt for what they've done in the past and complicated and messy characters who, in the end, are trying to do the best they can, which is something Seven fits to a tee.

(If you haven't seen 12 Monkeys yet, I highly recommend it! 4 seasons of great sci-fi time travel TV! And Jones is really very much influenced by Janeway!)

But my dearest wish is for the possible show to have Seven falling in love with Science again. I missed her doing science. I miss her turning up in a Jeffries tube unexpectedly doing repairs because it calms her down.

I miss her popping into an Astrometrics lab just to watch the stars.

I love warrior!Seven, but being a warrior is not just all who Seven is. She's a scientist, an engineer. She wanted to put star charts up on her wall because they pleased her aesthetically.

Seven was the unofficial Science Officer of Voyager. I hope we get that reflected, I hope in the pinning ceremony, Janeway quizzes her on all things science just like that one Admiral did to Janeway in Relativity.

I wish, I wish, I wish.

what's real and what's not?

I'm doing a lot of last minute studying for my exams right now, and over the close to, basically, a decade of studying for exams and quizzes and tests in school I have done (a lot of which, mostly recently, are more concentrated in the days or hours following the actual thing) I've only now realised how little I actually question. How much of what I force into my brain under the pretense that the knowledge of which will help me eventually (whether this is true or not is a whole other conversation) is true? I do ask questions, yes, but even I know that it is hardly enough. For every person who states something that is wrong, isn't it their lack of knowledge on that matter which leads them to believe that what they say is right and what others say isn't? This problem of being right and being wrong has a root in believing things without knowing why you should be believing it. I find that it is very easy to believe something that, though you have only heard it once, and heard it too from a source that is dubiously trustworthy, caters somewhat to the opinion on it that already exists in your mind; or even worse the lack of one and instead the presence of laziness to find the opposing belief. And yet that is what I do with textbooks, with lectures, with nearly everything in fact, because it's so tiring to have to doubt everything the sun touches and have no safe predictability to fall back on.

I'd like to think that we live in a day and age that things we read in articles and in the textbooks I, and the entire country, use in schools, would have been checked and verified to the point that there should be no mistake; that I should be able to trust whatever has been printed onto the pages with blind certainty. We are living in the now, and hasn't humanity as a whole come so far in our knowledge compared to who we were 200 years ago? But wasn't that exactly what our ancestors, 200 years ago, must have thought? When a majority accepts something to be the truth it often does become real, but it really is a funny thing for if something is real, or is seen as real, it does not mean it is the truth. Will people look at us 200 years from now and laugh at our folly? Will they ridicule us for believing in something just because everyone else did and swear upon the newfound that they will never be like us? Be as gullible as we were?

In year 1 our science teacher had taught us that taste buds on our tongue were separated, and only those certain clusters of taste buds in each of their separate locations could taste their respective, well, taste, be it sweetness, saltiness, sourness, bitterness or spiciness, and we brought chocolates, salty chips and coffee grounds to school to test it out. My conclusion; I could very much taste all five of those tastes on all the different parts of my tongue. But I didn't say I did nor did I ask why. I watched my classmates who did ask get told that they had just done it wrong, so I assumed I did it wrong, because the textbook said I was wrong. How could I trust myself, who didn't know anything, a mere student, and not this science text book of law that we all worshipped in the classroom. The fact is that, I should have asked because I convinced myself that that was real. That what everyone said it should be was real. And so it became real to me. But the entire time, it was not the truth. The tongue does not work this way, you can taste these tastes on all parts of your tongue, only to different extents, but those extents are only visible to machines, hardly to ourselves.

Most of the things I've learnt in school up until how have been true, and I would not trade this knowledge easily for it is beautiful and I am glad I have had the chance to experience it and keep it with me. But I only fear that there are cracks in this painting, and I don't know where they are. And I never may. They will haunt me till I die if that artwork doesn't crumble to pieces before I do.
