I'm finally getting through ST: Picard. Not since Barclay has there been a character that has so little business being on a starship crew, and not just for a few episodes, but the WHOLE DAMN SERIES. An emotionally unstable, needlessly argumentative hothead, second guessing everybodys everything to no end, has no respect for anyone, can't get out of her own head for 4 seconds, can't shutup ever, wears everyones nerves out, chews the scenery and hyperventilates about damn near everything, threatens everyone and everything with no reason behind it, she's utterly useless and a drag on progress in practically every scene in the entire series. Which, if that's the character they just had to write, fine, but why does Picard need this reckless narcissist along for the entire story? No reason given. Oh and Seven is just so hot for her. Yeah right. Maybe if we didn't know anything about Sevens personality up to this point. But she'll make a great Number One, sure, if you want your whole ship to grind to a halt any time something even remotely challenging arises. This is shlocky pandering to make a FLAWED (omg so flawed yes so many flaws did we tell u she's flawed?) character so they're "relatable" bc we're so egotistical we need to see our you know, typical dysfunctional trainwreck junkie selves represented on screen to get off our tractors and get into it... studio execs need to stop.
