Both actors, Stewart and Ryan, meld perfectly together Ryan is completely believable as this latter-day version of Seven, more human and yet still always struggling with her Borg side. ItвЂ™s not hard to see why Seven has a chip on her soldier when she meets Picard. It seems SevenвЂ™s Fenris Rangers have taken it upon themselves to hold the former Romulan Neutral Zone together as best they can in the chaotic aftermath of the supernova, whereas Picard, after resigning from Starfleet, essentially turned tail and went home. The big draw of this episode of course is seeing Jean-Luc and Seven finally interact, and these scenes pay off as the philosophies of the two iconic characters clash in the brave new world of Star Trek: Picard. It starts with the Picard Squad donning disguises - some more outlandish than others - for a heist-style story, and also includes Seven disguising what sheвЂ™s really up to on two different occasions. Maddox has been recast as well (heвЂ™s now played by John Ales, who replaces Next Gen actor Brian Brophy), which seems sort of appropriate since much of this episode is about disguises. For in addition to reintroducing us to Seven - and introducing her to her fellow ex-Borg Picard for the first time - this is also the episode where weвЂ™re finally reunited with the Next Generation minor player Bruce Maddox, after the show spent the past four weeks talking about him. This episode was written by Picard co-creator/supervising producer Kirsten Beyer, who has also penned an array of Voyager novels, and directed by Jonathan Frakes himself, so itвЂ™s no surprise that it would be particularly steeped in the details of Trek history. Still, itвЂ™s a striking and emotional scene, as Jeri RyanвЂ™s Seven of Nine bursts in, phasers firing, only to find sheвЂ™s too late to save her вЂњchild.вЂќ Back on Star Trek: Voyager, Seven formed a bond with the young man, as they had both escaped the Borg Collective, and itвЂ™s a nice play on continuity to bring him back into the fold here, even if itвЂ™s just to give Seven some revenge-based motivation on the new series.
