People be worshipping Terry Matalas for saying "sPiRk rIgHtS" on some random subreddit when he all but killed the canon sapphic ship onscreen that he was actually in charge of writing 💀

We've done this a while back with our captains, so now, I present

Remember:

Do not vote for the character you like the most or who is most sympathic: It's about your own survival

Michelle Hurd as Raffaela "Raffi" Musiker in STAR TREK: PICARD

I love that Seven and Raffi are continuing the Star Trek tradition of captains and first officers who have sexy relationships that would definitely make their crew uncomfortable

Something not a lot of people are talking about is how disrespectful and insulting Season 3 (and Season 2 as well, let's be honest) of Picard is to the viewers who actually liked Season 1. How this show was such a dishonest fucking bait-and-switch. The way S2 unceremoniously dumped the orginal cast, either killing them off ignominiously or straight up firing the actors.

"Well, duh. The show is titled Star Trek: Picard, not Star Trek: Sirena"

Perhaps an argument could be made, but if you were me and meticulously following any and all news of this brand new shiny show that Santiago Cabrera was going to star in back in 2019, you would have noticed that they consistently marketed it as a new, fresh chapter in Picard's life with Patrick Stewart insisting that it had to be something new and different and not a TNG 2.0. All the interviews and cons the cast appeared in repeatedly assured us that this was not a Star Trek: TNG, Electric Boogaloo, but a different show with a different tone and a different Picard and a different crew. That was the idea they marketed us. That was the story they sold us. That was what compelled me to tune in to this show.

And what did this show end up being after Season 1? A fucking Star Trek: TNG, Electric Boogaloo

Fuck the writers. Fuck the producers. Fuck everybody involved in this decision

Round Two

One of the things I love about Seven/Raffi is that it isn't shoehorned in from writers Having An Idea but is built on Hurd and Ryan liking each other and having real on screen chemistry. It isn't just about furthering the plot, it's about the writers seeing something worth building on.

There's so many Star Trek romances that feels forced. And so many romances built from actual chemistry that aren't there (Usually because it would be GAY).

So having a relationship built on two actors actual chemistry instead is very refreshing.
