Well those are two idioms I didn't think I'd see matched.
"We are the Borg. We will adapt your chili beans and complimentary ingredients to serve us. Hunger is futile."
Mental reconditioning and psychological reprogramming she went through during her entire conscious life doesn't just go away between episodes. Even on Voyager.
20 years later, Asking people to call her Seven of Nine, is glorifying the Borg.
The readout even mentions "early" decommission. Probably just so they can have the STO class, then any other show can go ahead with something else if they want.The Enterprise F is being decommissioned? That didn’t last very long. We get a shiny new Enterprise
Enterprise inflation is real.The Enterprise F is being decommissioned? That didn’t last very long. We get a shiny new Enterprise
It's her FUCKING NAME!
I don't think they would have specified his accent in the script. The actor is English, so it might be his natural accent. Though casting might have been instructed to find a British actor.
Might just be the newest one.
No more than being called "Hans" is glorifying Nazi Germany in 1962. (back to this again)
As for 7 of 9, I don't recall in the episode her saying which she prefers, just that her captain prefers Annika Hansen. I have to go re-watch.
As for the Borg, well, since Queen Jurati took off with the La Sirena and started the new, kinder Borg, shouldn't most of the Federation (as well as every other species) NOT have had any negative encounter with the Borg? No Hansen assimilation, no Borg v Voyager or v 8472 in the Delta quadrant, Anything past 2024 should be now rewritten history as far as Borg encounters. You can't say that BorgJurati is in the Confederation timeline, because that has never happened since Renee found her molecules on her mission and QueenJurati has appeared in the (Picard) present and helped them with that big rift in space. That means there should also be no Locutus (unless QueenJurati wanted some time with "Mister" Picard.
Slight plot hole (as big as the rift in the Season two finale).

It's both
AAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Can we drop the damn name thing????
Take two shots and call me in the morning.
If you're still seeing the name thing take two more.
Trust me.
I’m not going down the rabbit hole about Annika v Seven except to suggest the writers spent FAR LESS time on it than this thread has. It’s a clear way to define Shaw as an asshole before we even meet him—SOP for storytelling. Very likely to be followed by a “moment of enlightenment” where he acknowledges his error, because Star Trek. And that’s all the effort that went into “the name”.
Or maybe a threat along the lines of: "I can't make you answer to a human name. But if I have to refer to you as a Borg, I will assume your loyalty is to the Borg, and I will ensure that your evaluations merit you never so much as approaching command. Now. Are you going to comply with my request, Commander Hansen?"
It just sits weird that Seven's on his ship at all - from what we've seen, it seems like Starfleet captains typically get to choose their first officers. So it seems like he either explicitly requested Seven with the notion of keeping this potential Borg infiltrator in check, or someone higher up with a grudge against Seven or Shaw forced her into the position. Shaw seems like he's a by-the-book enough guy that he'd choke down that order, but he's also petty enough that he'd take it out on Seven.
Sums up Trek history quite well. It's when I started worrying about the writers and what they know or if they are fans or not when I saw a Trek writer at a convention and he failed at a Trek trivia contest. Fans have way more time on their hands than the writers.
