It is a bright, sunny day in May when the doctors finally see fit to release her from the hospital. And not a moment too soon as far as she’s concerned. She’s had enough of beds that lift, horrible food and harsh artificial lighting to last her a lifetime.

He’s wheeling his suitcase behind him, supporting her on his arm as they leave the drab building. She hadn’t realized how the smell of antiseptic had permeated every pore in her body until they’re outside. She longs to take a real bath and rid herself of the odor that has soaked into her hair. But, she can’t imagine how she will maneuver into a tub and resigns herself to a quick shower as soon as humanly possible.

For being only a few kilometers away, the ride home seems excruciatingly long. Halfway there, he starts to wish that he had argued harder for them to be beamed into their living room.

But then, she always was one to do things the hard way.

Wow.

-rewatch the pilot! it’s always enlightening to see where and how characters started off when you know how they end up

-rewatch the second episode! surely you missed something the first time around

-watch the whole first season. school doesnt start for a week anyway.

tbh we talk a lot about how chakotay/seven does an injustice to jc but i almost NEVER hear people mention how much of an overly-simplistic, sloppy ending it was for seven of nine? her entire story was about her pursuit of individuality, autonomy, and control over her own story, and in the last episode of the show virtually all of her conversations and conflicts center on chakotay. seven doesn’t even get a “last shot” of her own—she shares it with chakotay. and while there’s nothing wrong with that, per se, it seems pretty ridiculous for a woman whose arc was consumed by her own search for meaning and self last to be seen by the audience glancing adoringly at a man she began having feelings for approximately 3 seconds prior. it’s just. so lazy and sloppy and poorly-considered a way to conclude her story.

they jut resorted to the “and romance makes us human!” trope, and that was just disappointing for a character whose encounters with love were so much more complex and varied than her ending suggested.
