Just a thought for people to chew on: use of the Stargazer set in S3 doesn't mean that it's the Stargazer. You can turn it into any ship you want by changing a couple displays and/or graphics.

So if S1 was mediocre, and S2 was shit, we can hope for an amazing S3
At one of the S1 premiere events, someone in the audience asked him which Number 1 he likes more - Riker or the dog. He was obviously very uncomfortable with that, and after a while of struggling said: The dog. Because he had to XDYeah, it's always "the best villain", "the best performance", "this will be the best Star Trek season ever", "we have come up with the best story", "the writers were amazing", "we can't wait for you to see it", yadda yadda yadda. Same basic tune, just different melodies.
I mean they're literally under a contract to say all that stuff, so... I can't fault them. I mean Sir Patrick was once asked why he said Nemesis was the best TNG movie ever at the time when he's now on record for saying that it's definitely NOT the best TNG movie ever, and he flat out said "I lied". It's just show business - a contract to star on a show or a in a movie always includes promotional activities, and if you don't want to get sued you had better promote what you're doing according to your contract, and promote it with the appropriate words.
'It was all a dream' is one craziest TV show tropes only after jumping over a shark with a jetski
I really miss the sevenisms.
Picard: Are you sure your heart can take this?
Seven: I assure you my cardiovascular system is up to the task.
*swoon*
I know she's been back in the alpha quadrant for 20 years but can't we just get a small sprinkle.
The way she is playing the character is literally just Jeri Ryan back from acting retirement.

I miss this as well.
There was a glimpse of it in Season 1 shortly after she was beamed onto La Serena.
They've planned their role playing mission and Elnor says, "I don't know how to not be Elnor."
Picard replies, "Then be Elnor."
Seven retorts, "An Elnor that never talks."
Oh good catch, I guess she lost all of her MOJO being a Babylon 5 ranger.
I would have bet my house on her getting a daystrom institute job.
"Acquiring knowledge is a worthy objective. But its pursuit has obviously not elevated you."
Man Seven used to drop bombs on people.
I will have to grow to like her new slang talk.
After twenty years, she's much more human than she was on Voyager.
That said, when the heat is on and the phaser fire is flying, Seven the Machine comes out of hibernation.
Seven sounded almost exactly like she did on VOY in "Stardust City Rag" when she has the quiet talk with Picard.
The way she begins talking and pronounces "Collective." Classic VOY Seven. Formal. Stilted. Then her more human side comes out at the end.
That is the essence of life right there.
I love that honesty, which is something Seven, for all my irritation with the character, would do.
Both characters bared themselves in that scene. Jeri nailed it and Patrick conveyed that Picard still isn't as human as he was before he was assimilated.
Yeah I guess.
The only sevenism I remember in Picard was
"Picard still thinks there's a place in the galaxy for mercy. I didn't want to disillusion him." Seven of Nine to Bjayzl
It doesn't really make sense because she doesn't give mercy?
This is shortly before killing her, so that took me out of it.
It sounded like a sevenism at least even if the scene was insane.
But for a brief second I was happy with voy feelings.
It's something that I learn working with the people I serve that recovery is not a destination. It is an "every damn day of my life" type of a journey.
Seven is an interesting case study in such an examination of a life recovering from trauma, even when it's hard. And getting it wrong.
Read what you wrote again. What Seven says makes perfect sense. Picard still thinks there's a place in the galaxy for mercy and Seven didn't want to disillusion him (i.e. by demonstrating the opposite, by not showing mercy). Meaning, she came back to kill Bjayzl on the quiet, in private, so that Picard wouldn't have to see her do it, so he can go on believing in mercy. Whereas Seven herself in that moment clearly does not believe there is any place in this scenario for mercy.
I mean she beamed down infront of everyone with a rifle.....
Picards a robot not an idiot
