Is it too much to ask for something great?

Prodigy: People died.

Taskmaster AU (2024): Out-alpha'd by a sheep.

I love Seven of Nine and I'm mostly pretty happy with how she was treated in Picard (its honestly better than how she was treated for much of Voyager), but I don't like the way they made her captain. I honestly think Liam Shaw was one of the best parts of the season and was a great contrast to a lot of the previous captain characters we've seen, and the fact that they killed him off so Seven could become captain felt really obvious and boring- even the way they did it felt super cheap and cliche (like I called the "he calls her Seven while dying and making her captain" beat EXACTLY several episodes before it happened). I would have loved to have seen him live AND her get promoted to Captain of a ship. I feel like both things could have happened, and instead they wasted a super interesting new character for the sake of a really trite plot beat. Also thought renaming the Titan the Enterprise at the end was kind of lame. We don't need that. Let it be its own ship.

And it is also like a cute little continuety thing with TOS that tells us why he's so comfortable and friendly with Uhura, playing the lyre as she sings and allowing her to flirt with him in a friendly way.

You know why I love Fire and Blood? Because everyone’s problematic and toxic in their own way. That’s what makes the story interesting. ‘Choosing a side’ implies that there is a morally superior option and I hate that; it takes a compelling story and dumbs it down.

And through Rhaenyra’s mercy, Alicent got an even better punishment than death: live long enough to watch everything she worked for blow up in her face while her entire line ended.
