MRW hologram Barclay is trying to rizz up Seven in "Inside Man"
Yeah, I know he's was compromised by Ferengi, but c'mon, Reg, the guy you were templated on literally served under Picard when he was assimilated.
Picard was Borg for what, a day? Seven was assimilated as a child and was rescued after a decade and a half? Two?? Hardly even comparable.
Took the words out of my mouth. I can understand him having PTSD but regaining his humanity shouldn't have been particularly challenging for him.
Still, you'd expect someone who saw it happen to Picard to phrase it better. That's assuming it's a direct quote.
Kinda wack saying Picard's trauma isn't comparable when it clearly effected him quite significantly.
That’s the thing. Picard has a trauma. She lost her identity, childhood, sense of belonging. It’s entirely different.
Like Bane said, “you merely adopted the borg. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t anything of humanity until I was already a (wo)man.”
Edit: Also, isn’t it addressed at some point that, for 7o9, her trauma was actually to leave the borg and not being in it?
Just because the trauma is there doesn't mean the trauma is the same. It definitely had an effect on him, but to say that its the same as what Seven went through is ridiculous.
And lest we forget:
Maybe he's saying Picard never had humanity to begin with.
He is kind of a jerk in season one of TNG….
He was literally the only one to call in Broccoli to his face
Good but I have to say Borg was who she was through and through. Picard was established before assimilation and fought them every step.("sleep data sleep").
"Oh that guy? Fuck that guy. You ever really hear about what it was like on the Enterprise? I could tell you a few stories..."
Why is no one mentioning Hue Hugh?
Because at the point that this episode occurred, Hugh wasn't really an ex-Borg yet. He wasn't part of the overall Borg collective, but he was part of the rogue Borg, and whether or not he was fully an individual read probably still up for debate.
