Possibly the only good thing about Picard was showing that Seven and Chakotay did not stay together

I did think it was really weird that Seven's alternate-timeline husband wasn't an existing character. It makes sense that it was going to be evil-Chakotay, but I would've just kept going down the rolodex if Beltran wasn't into it. It's a twisted reflection of our world, Annika Hansen is a politician for some reason, she could've ended up with anyone on her way to becoming the evil president of the evil galaxy. Having it be some rando is disappointing. Tom Paris, Tasha Yar, Reg Barclay, Beckett Mariner, Trip Tucker, Gen Rhys. Anyone would've been more interesting than "some new guy," since having an existing context would prime our imaginations to go wild about what kind of life they might've had in the evil universe.
 
Are they together in Prodigy 18 years ago?

Is she lost on his ship in the future and thought for dead too?

Of course Janeway should have mentioned Seven, if she was on the Protostar when it was lost, unless they don't get along in 2385?

Should have been Harry Kim. Turns out he had to stay an ensign because giving him the tiniest bit of power goes right to his head.

Any Trek unseen characters (who presumably Seven doesn't already know) who could fit Jon Jon Briones' role? We've a room full of experts here so time to start speculating!
 
It's definitely a very good thing that Seven isn't with chuckles, but the only good thing about Picard? No.
Because Chak is terrible. So, so terrible.
Chuckles is the worst character in the entirety of Trek, IMO. But this isn't the right place for me to go into that again. (A polite summary of my views on chuckles can be found here.)

Maybe I mentally blocked it out
Pity I can't. The thought of Janeway / chuckles ever becoming "canon" repels me - to put it very politely.

The Seven/Chakotay relationship was no worse than the Raffi/Seven one. In fact, it might be a bit better since there were some hints on Voyager that it could happen before it actually did. The Raffi/Seven hookup appeared out of nowhere. Barely any interaction between them in S1 yet they're holding hands at the end of the finale. Bizarre.
 
It didn't help that Bashir had more chemistry with literally every other character on DS9 than he did with Ezri. XD

That's untrue. Bashir had no chemistry with Dax. (Autocorrect first asked me:. Dad or Ex?)

He should have hit on Kira. Except Kira Nerys is the one woman Star Trek got right. She's... complicated. As Star Trek should be.
 
Chakotay/Seven and Worf/Troi were two pairings done in the final season of a show because for some reason writers think people of the opposite sex are incapable of working together for any period of time without being in a relationship. Neither pairing made any sense.
