#alandra laforge

There was a lot of criticism about this season of Picard and how the show treated women, and yeah I agree with some of it, but this image is iconic. The crew of the Enterprise D basically passed the baton to these ladies of what will be the Enterprise G. At the end of the episode we see Seven as captain, Raffi as first officer, and Sydney as the pilot. I'm assuming Alandra is probably in engineering, maybe chief engineer bc we didn't see her in that scene on the bridge. Overall, I've always felt like Star Trek has treated women well in the sense of creating strong, intelligent, independent female characters, and giving them positions of authority.

I know a lot of us didn't like how Seven was treated as almost a secondary character in the middle part of the season and was often off to the sidelines without a ton to contribute, but I actually think that was the result of trying to tell a big story in 10 episodes with WAY too many characters, tbh.
