Apologies if there is already a discussion thread about this. Did a scan of the first page, couldn't see one.
I would never call myself a Voyager fan, because I'm really not, but I've always loved each cast of characters on every Trek character. For that reason, when Seven of Nine surprisingly popped up in the Picard trailer, I genuinely lost my mind. I was in a hotel in Plymouth, sharing with two friends (one of whom is a Trekkie, too), and both of us were immediately even more psyched for Picard. As excited as we were for it before, the addition of Seven just seemed to take it up another notch, and I get the feeling that's been the case for a lot of the Star Trek community?
From interviews with Jeri Ryan, it's safe to say that she is not a series regular by any stretch, but it does appear she will be a more significant part of the show than, say, Riker and Troi, who are making smaller appearances. I guess, this has me wondering a number of things:
1) Just how big is her role?
2) Will she appear in a significant number of episodes? (hoping so!)
3) Will the missing time period between the present, and the last time we saw her, be filled in with significant detail?
4) Is she a 'one season and done' character?
Given the huge excitement amongst Trek fans for her being on the show, you've got to assume that if Seven was intended to be a one season character, they may be rethinking that, headed into development of Season 2? If it were me, I'd keep her around. Of course, I have no idea of what the story of the show is, mind!
Perhaps, most importantly, would Picard have the bravery to kill her off? Do we think this is even a possibility? Would VOY fans go into meltdown if that happened, or would they be happy to have seen more of her story following the end of VOY?
I honestly just can't wait for this show, and I'm surprised at how excited the addition of Seven has made me. I'm probably more interested in finding out what's up with her, than I am Picard!
