Interview: Jeri Ryan On Taking Seven From Borg To Bi Captain Of The Enterprise To ‘Star Trek: Legacy’
I really don't get the fawning over PIC season 3. It was bad. I'd love to see more of Ryan in a new series, but only if they recruit writers on par with SNW and lose the phone numbers of those who did PIC.
Yeah, I can’t wrap my head around it either. Easily the worst, most self indulgent season of Trek in my opinion.
But it had the TNG crew back aboard the Enterprise D so for a lot of people it’s hitting the nostalgia button.
It wasn’t great, but it was notably better than season 2 in that it actually felt like a season of a show with some thought put into some kind of continuity. Season 2 was a huge clusterfuck of awful
It was.... Okay. Better then the first 2 seasons of Pic by a mile at least. If it was just the first 5 or so episodes I might even call it good. Yeah it was big, dumb, and loud, but it was also full of nostalgia bait, some of which admittedly did resonate with me. The bar was just so low after the TNG movies and first two season of PIC that traumatized fans were happy to have a seemingly final sendoff that wasn't completely terrible.
Indeed but it was unapologetic fan service towards the end.
I barely got through S1. Terrible show.
Jeri has aged like a fine wine, but I'm not so desperate for TNG nostalgia that I'll watch fat Data.
TrekMovie […] asked if she is ready to lead the much-discussed Star Trek: Legacy spin-off
Much-discussed but still to be officially verified.
IMO they need to jettison at least Jack Crusher and his Jedi lineage for that show to be even theoretically tolerable. Terry Matalas really showed with Picard s3 that he has no flair for Trek.
I don't think the actor was bad. Having him be a doctor on Legacy (he is a doctor, right?) would be a good use of the actor and the character's past without having it be the focus of the show.
Omgz she kissed a girl thats a major plot point
Gaaaaaaaaaayayyyyyyyyy /s
Hey, I’m not sure if you know how un accepting your snarky jab is. It’s very un trek like.
I’m also not sure you appreciate how important representation is. It is very important that people see and read themselves in stories. It could save someone’s life. That importance cannot be understated or taken for granted.
This was likely tailored to the demographic that Picard serves. And while the writing wasn’t elegant, it’s still something. Hopefully it leads to more, as this character development is now canon.
Society is slowly crawling out of hetero normative times, where it is thankfully starting to be more common than ever to see diverse identity mainstream.
Millennials still have a streak of heteronormative thinking and cynicism, but hopefully they are one of the last generations to experience the closet.
Ok I must admit that I've not seen the latest season of Picard, so maybe that's the reason, but I had no idea her character was bi
She dated and split up with Raffi between seasons one and two.
Literally "between", it got kind of shoved into the last episode of season 01 and killed off again when season 02 started. They should have played it out more, let them develop a good relationship on screen, the way it was done just seemed so forced. Like the writers forgot they wanted to have some LGBTQ+ representation in the series up until the last episode of season 01.
Really? I must have literally completely forgotten.
Didn't Raffi tell Picard near the end of S1 that she loved him and he said it back? I thought that at that stage they were exploring a romance for them
There’s an entire audio drama about it that Ryan and Hurd did voice work for.
It is perfectly fine.
Don't feel bad. That whole series was a disjointed mess.
Can this please be marked as some sort of spoiler? I haven’t watched Picard Season 3 yet and this was a massive spoiler bait title…
We generally don't protect spoilers after about a week. In this case, it's been nearly a year.
Same, but to be fair we really should have watched it by now
It it's any consolation, it has literally zero bearing on the actual plot.
They have to cast her. She’s one of the most compelling Trek characters we’ve seen.
