  1. You: I'm making a chicken casserole tonight.

    That one friend who won't stop talking about that one time they were assimilated: Chicken? Ah, species 736. They make excellent drumsticks. But have you considered regeneration?

  5. - Su denominación... Siete de nueve... es un poco engorroso ¿No preferiría que la llamásemos por su nombre?
    - Me han llamado Siete de Nueve desde que tengo memoria.
    - Está bien, pero quizá podríamos acortarlo un poco ¿Qué le parece mamarse... Siete?
    - Impreciso pero aceptable.

  7. Los humanos son erráticos, conflictivos y desorganizados. Toda decisión se debate, toda acción se cuestiona, todo individuo tiene derecho a su propia y pequeña opinión. Carecen de armonía, de cohesión, de grandeza. ¡Será su perdición!

  9. It's fun to map #StarTrek #Voyager #SevenOfNine character arc (at least in Season 4, as far as I've gotten) onto #childhood development

    First, she screams and thrashes mindlessly against leaving the safety of the Cube/womb. Her adopted mother, Janeway, puts her in the brig/crib. After an incident, they make sure she can't activate anything or stick her fingers in sockets.

    Next she starts learning and doing things. She "works with" Kim and others but it is side-by-side play, not cooperation.

    After a while, she starts to develop and express opinions. These mainly consist of rebelling against Janeway. She is now TerribleTwoOfNine. She is sent to her room as punishment.

    During all of this, she has regular checkups to update her nutritional and developmental needs with the Pediatric Medical Hologram. The Doctor has also been charged with teaching her preschool skills like basic social interaction.

    Eventually we reach tonight's episode, "One".

    Seven doesn't like the other children and wants to play by herself. She rebels against her teacher by asking a string of questions.

    Then Janeway treats Seven like a Big Girl--we need your help, can you do it? Yes of course I do it!

    Except she almost can't.

    At her lowest point Seven is invited back to the womb. No! An imaginary Borg tells her to give up. No, I'm an individual! (Another developmental stage.)

    She solves a dilemma with her first instinct, then feels guilty and makes a moral correction to it. That's not something TerribleTwo would do, but it is something Seven does.

    At the end of the episode she nervously walks up to another group of kids and asks to play *with* them.

  11. "The Omega Directive" is one of the dumbest #StarTrek #Voyager episodes I've seen in a while.

    I assume the motivation was to have #SevenOfNine have spiritual experience. Sure, fine.

    But in the pell-mell rush to make that happen they created an episode that fails to work in almost every way. Just a few examples

    1. Top secret info hidden away in the ship's computer that nobody has ever noticed and by the way multiple entities have stolen (and which the Borg have anyway)

    2. After all the hooha over secret directives Chakotay easily convinces Janeway to let them help. (Condition: Only senior staff can know! Meanwhile, multiple nobodies are on the bridge while they shout omega-related facts to each other.)

    3. Super powerful "molecule"---where to even start. Do the writers know what molecules are?

    4. False dichotomy of destroying ALL the molecules vs "risking half the quadrant" to try stabilizing them. Why not destroy all but a handful, then stabilize the rest on the already-destroyed moon in the already-destroyed system?

    5. Speaking of which, the alien scientist says this is their only hope to survive. Too bad! Prime Directive says we can doom you but are powerless to save you!

    6. Then they fly off into the sunset *with the injured scientists* after saying they'd give them back.

    A pig-headed focus on maneuvering one character to a particular point with no regard for what damage we do to the rest of the story or even the world-building. Awful, awful writing.

  13. We've really been enjoying #SevenOfNine while watching all of #StarTrek

    It's really amazing how many different "smart characters who struggle with understanding emotions and social cues" this show has created

    #Voyager alone has Tuvok, The Doctor/EMH and Seven. Spock and Data hardly seem to need mentioning. But the point is that their stories are very different.

    Data doesn't have them but wants to

    Spock does but doesn't

    Seven is confused by them and has some trouble regulating (which resonates with #autism but also with young children which she sort of is, narratively)

    Tuvok is always complaining about illogic but is also fully dedicated to a hierarchy that forces him to follow it--essentially always masking

    The Doctor: In a way, the most enigmatic. He has emotions and seems to understand them, but neither of those things should be true. He's the ST equivalent of a first aid kit.
