Petition: Seven of Nine Spinoff

TedShatner10 said:
Aaaand already we get guff from the usual suspects (taking the completely wrong lessions from the weakpoints and strongpoints from Picard and what makes Strange New Worlds a smash hit) and seem resistant to the idea of Seven Of Nine spin-off (stating Picard is supposedly the worst rated show, when in actual fact it's fairly solidly reviewed like Lower Decks, if you ignore the artificial ballot stuffing in the audience ratings).

Apologies for replying to this so late, but I'm only just catching up, and... what a terrible article.

She is better off not being in Star Fleet but staying a Ranger... I like for her to have a ship with Borg tech in it... maybe a crew of reformed Borgs , Humans , and other species...

She's tried going it alone as a Ranger ... and it nearly swallowed her whole.

She's killed three people so far as a Ranger. She doesn't do very well alone.

She needs structure in her life (it's why she joined the Sirena crew). Starfleet can provide that for her.

Indeed. STOP trying to give fans what they want. WE fans are terribly fickle, and incredibly shallow. If Picard had the original crew and slapped it on an Enterprise the reaction would have been less severe. At this point in time I truly believe that it is only a matter of time before SNW and Prodigy feel the fury of the fan base.

That article got one more click from me. Ugh.
 
Alongside those Alt Right weirdos who never got Star Trek we get tons of Trekkies that for 25+ years been subjected to unintentional mild brainwashing by the very specific "Know it when you see it..." Berman Trek formula and tone, so new creatives with their totally new slant and formulas arrive with DSCO, et al, inevitably at odds with the extinct Pillar/Berman formula, and much of it is erroneously decried as badly written and canon violating, etc, with superficial critiques of violence, cynacism, and swearing and "butchered" characters.

Then they swarm round to The Orville which only emulates 90s/early 00s Trek, initially as a light spoof, and since S2 has been evolving away anyway.

I've seen Ep. 1 of SNW and while it is episodic it shares most of it DNA with the supposedly awful DSCO and PIC.

For the first two seasons, it skewered Star Trek.

Now, it's become a combination of Trek and Star Wars (what a difference a merger makes).
 
One thing that a Seven of Nine spin-off would need to touch upon with a bit more depth would be her enforced 18 years as a part of the collective. This lady has probably seen and involuntarily done *many* terrible things during her time with the Borg. I bet that she can remember it all too.

Yup, as someone who doesn't have the blinders on, I think SNW is more similar to DSC and PIC than not. The only real differences are the episodic format, a straight middle-aged white male lead, and it looks more like TOS. Funny how all is forgiven with those three changes.

Yeah, my eyes are wide fuckin' open in regards to the already entrenched angry nerd rhetoric surrounding DSCO, SNW, and PIC, and sexism, racism, homophobia, and transphobia plays a bigger role than most like to admit, though entrenched expectations and getting irrationally angry at a arbitrary or subjective "formula" getting "messed with" plays a bigger part.

A lot of Trekkies are surprisingly entrenched in the past, like Picard over his mother committing suicide.

Though I must admit that PIC's S2 suffered from weaker story pacing around Episodes 4 to 8 that made audience feel like they've been taken hostage by ICE for real (while SNW episodes, outside of personal arcs, mainly being one and done, does feel like a breath of fresh air in comparison).

But I'm already seeing nerd ragers start to slowly turn on SNW already...

It was bound to happen. The past means way too much in this franchise to let it go.

Forget the Stargazer… we want the Enterprise!!!! Seven and her heroic crew, with a few familiar faces from previous series perhaps. Maybe Raffi could be a part of that crew, though I don’t think that a relationship is professional on the bridge of a starship, especially the Federation’s flagship.

We have the Enterprise on SNW. We have the Enterprise in the Kelvin films.

We have no shortage of Enterprises. Putting Seven on the Enterprise-F (?) risks over-saturation.
 
They're going to have the Enterprise-F. Because Picard Season 3 is really TNG Movie 5 (or TNG Season 8, depending on how you want to look at it). They won't do TNG without an Enterprise, it's not going to happen. Like it or not, PIC is an extension of TNG.

That having been said: Captain Seven of the Enterprise-F is a terrible idea. Captain Musiker of the Enterprise-F is something I could see. Which by extension means Seven would be on the Enterprise-F with her. It also means that if -- if -- they have the TNG Crew on the E-F, they'll all be in one place.

Sorry to go against the grain of everyone who agrees with me otherwise, but I just think it's a given. I'll be surprised if they don't have the Enterprise, not the other way around.

I will be surprised as well if it doesn't appear. I just find it annoying, to put it mildly.
 
As much as I love Seven. She was one of the few things i did like in Picard and initially really wanted her to have her own series. But after they really dropped the ball on season 2 of Picard, i dont want the current producers anywhere near these characters anymore. I'm not too hopeful for Picard Season 3 either.
