I'm confused? Which show was this?
Voyager ***cough*** Seven of Nine ***cough***
In "Relativity", she shot a phaser out of a man's hand (They wouldn't even her let stun him!
)It's not for nothing Seven's Collective is now dancing in the streets over the prospect of her killing someone in Picard (After all these years, she's FINALLY being allowed to be who she is -- a former soldier. She's being permitted to kill people unapologetically.)

I know I've seen people get shot with phasers and with guns in Voyager.
I don't mean he will do the stunts, but it will be quips of "I've missed this" during shoot outs, or Picard reminiscing about some of his more actiony missions. Basically as with Nemesis and First Contact, where Patrick Stewart expressed a desire to be more "Active"

I think Seven 'The Terminator' is very bad-ass
Looking forward to her saying lines like "I'll be back" and "Hasta la vista, baby!!" before shooting an enemy

Why would people be happy about that? That was one of the charms of the character for me. If they change it, then it really isn't the Seven that we saw in Voyager. Though I wouldn't be dancing yet, those phasers may well be set on stun.
And she wasn't a soldier, she was a drone being controlled by force.

I can't promise an "Hasta la Vista" (she might be able to swing an "I'll be back", though).
It just galled me that she was held back (she did a two-step around the edge but never went over it -- even when common sense would've dictated otherwise).
If it galled me, it probably galled a lot of other people too.
Don't get me started on her abortive kinda-sorta "romance" with Chakotay ...
We'll see.
If nothing else, it's a step above shooting a phaser out of a man's hand.
She attacked and assimilated. To me, that made her a soldier. She's seen combat.
(In "Survival Instinct", she held a command position; she had some decision-making authority. In "Dark Frontier", she had the ear of the Borg Queen herself.)

With her abilities, she should be able to shoot a fly off the top of a barn from a mile away. Not seeing the issue with her shooting a phaser out of someone's hand?

Your mileage may vary.
Shooting a phaser out of a man's hand just seemed over the top and impractical. It's not something most people would think to do in a fight.
Shoot him, stun him ... but enough with the theatrics. Pick a lane!
I started with TOS as a child. Then I grew up. If I am a fan of anything, today, its because it in some way appeals to who I am as an adult, not who i was as a child.

A memorable scene in Blakes Seven is when Avon shoots a blaster out of a man's hand and Blake compliments him on his aim. Avon confesses he was aiming at the man's head.

Which is an old, old joke from numerous Westerns, and Paul Darrow reportedly ad-libbed it because he was a fan of Westerns.

Not exactly. She shot the phaser out of his hand, and then shot him in the chest. As SF Debris would comment, "Oh for the love...even guns from the future of the future don't work!" A quip at the fact that shots in Star Trek are wildly inconsistent in their degree of harm.In "Relativity", she shot a phaser out of a man's hand (They wouldn't even her let stun him!
Star Trek is not known for its consistent combat skills.Your mileage may vary.

Well we know that Picard is no longer a captain, there's going to be no diplomatic missions or explorations of weird anomalies. If that is where your expectations lie you're probably going to be disappointed.
Picard is not a sequel... because TNG is really the prequel. We just never knew it. Who says the "original" has to come out first? We need to stop thinking so linear. 
Other producers, who are not Michael Chabon, the showrunner of PIC, have rescued Star Trek and Star Wars from stasis and brought them back to life. Sometimes their work has been good, sometimes it's been bad, but that was true of both franchises in their past production cycles, too. Sorry, but a LOT of TNG episodes were crap, and Return of the Jedi's first act is just a giant waste of time.
Few things are as tiresome as someone living out the "Old Man Yells At Clouds" meme.
The funeral for everything that was great in 80s and 90s Star Trek was the DS9 series finale. VOY and ENT were mostly crap, but S4 of ENT was a strong improvement. Then the entire Berman-era died with ENT.
Listen, maybe you should consider actually watching the show with an open mind before writing it off as inferior to what came before?
I really don't know what to say to someone who thinks that a franchise coming back to multi-million-dollar life and gaining millions of new fans after being left for dead alongside basic-cable Syfy fare like Farscape and Stargate is "on a downward spiral." Yeah, Into Darkness had its problems, but, again, highs and lows in quality are nothing new for the franchise even in its 90s heyday. By any reasonable standard, this is a thriving new era for Star Trek -- five different television shows, all with different sub-genres being created, with amazing talents behind and in front of the cameras, to explore all sorts of new elements of the universe. And all this after no one thought Trek was gonna come back any time soon after ENT was cancelled.
Considering it WAS because of Patrick Stewart we got this scene in ST:INS:
I might be a bit worried.

Seriously? NOW I honestly AM worried... '_
I think I’m the only person on the planet that likes that part of the movie. Or, the only one that will admit to liking it.
