Theory: Picard and Seven were or still are in a romantic relationship??

[Guy Gardener]

All Borg are the same person, is what I meant by that, so that when Picard married the Borg Queen, and became the Borg King, he married all Borg, including himself.

10s of trillions of people experiencing their shared universe in concert.

Also the Queen has standing orders to all Drones (including 7?), if possible to nail Picard (and Harry) and then send her as many angles of the sex act as possible in all the standard porno formats.

(The further you are away, the more lag there is, in even transwarp radio, which is how the collective stays as one being galactically.)

You seem far too happy to describe this.....

Did you grow up in the San Fernando Valley?

TNG Inner light.

Picard is 50 + years older than he looks.

VOY Infinite Regress.

Seven is thousands of years older than she looks.

I know I'm in the minority of fans, but this is why I wanted a Picard prequel featuring his adventures and service aboard the Stargazer. It would've been nice seeing him, Jack, and Beverly in action traveling to planets no one has gone before, making first contacts, and interacting w/the Klingons, Romulans, etc.

I was never under the impression that Beverly was on the Stargazer.

Generally, I don't have a huge problem with age differences between men and women (though I do agree with your example of the centuries of degradation some of this has caused women, though some of that has to do with other factors than strictly the age of husband and wife in relation to each other).
However in response to this specifically:

Which, I don't know if I agree that Seven would still be so profoundly traumatized by her time with the Borg after over twenty years amongst Federates, but if we accept that as a proposition, it does absolutely nothing to help Picard not seem like a abusive old creep.

I absolutely could believe such a trauma could/would affect someone in some capacity for the rest of their natural life... I experienced a very traumatic event on birth (and for the first several months of my life) that affects me to this day (and I am Jeri Ryan's age in reality), so I can totally empathize with the character and the assimilation trauma... remove the Borg specifically, and it mirrors my own experience. Of course, I worked through much of the trauma over the next 48+ years of my life, but it's taken about that long to reduce it from 100% to maybe 30-40% of the impact it has in my life. Some things never go away completely because they form a scar in the core of the psyche/brain at a very early age; a scar that is virtually (not totally) inaccessible to therapeutic efforts and medicine.

The new IDW comic about young Captain Picard on the Stargazer (released this time last year) basically confirms it. Just look at its cover:

Even though Trek comics are historically treated to be non-Canons, given the 'Picard: Countdown' comic is now considered to be a prequel to the TV series, now we have to treat other newly released Trek comics to be canon until the writers said otherwise.

"Have to" eh?
I think assuming they're non-canon unless told otherwise is the more logical course.

The Picard Countdown comic is no more canon than the ST'09 Countdown comic was. Neither are any other comics. Unless CBS makes a statement declaring them canon. Which they have not done, nor do I see them doing in the future.

My apologies. I was trying to describe a reduction in the impact her trauma might have on Seven's life, but I was not careful in my language. I was not trying to say she would not still be affected by her abduction, indoctrination, and enslavement by the Borg.

No need to apologize, Sci... I just hold a different opinion on the matter is all.
