I realize that it's the style nowadays to have short seasons--none of the 22-24 episode seasons that were classic when I was younger. And yeah, that does cut out a lot of filler, but it also cuts out a lot of fun and getting to know the characters!
because I wanted to see more of them, especially Seven of Nine and Hugh.
SAME. There could have been a whole season about rehabilitating the Borg! I would watch that show!
They tried to sell us the whole "dying is better than living forever because it makes you appreciate life more" (which I side-eye a lot, because it sounds a lot like "humans are better than synths") and then they basically make a human come back from death? I know that it's ST and weirder things have happened, but I also didn't think it was a good call. Because what does it mean, then? Are synths only OK in small doses, in ways we can control them? Or in ways that help humans, but not as lifeforms themselves?
Agreed. I also don't really agree that life is only precious because it's short. I don't think it would be any less precious if we lived for two hundred years or a thousand years.
