"Over 20 years after the USS
Voyager returned to the Alpha Quadrant,
in
Picard Seven is now a hardened vigilante, chucking back whiskey and
cursing under her breath. And she has an outfit to match, strutting
around in the licensed-badass combination of combat boots, jeans, a
loose shirt, and of course, a leather jacket. Gone, finally, is the
skintight catsuit that Seven donned on
Voyager, a clear invitation to
see Seven as a person first, and a woman second — standing in stark
contrast to that rib-crushing corset.
With
Picard’s Seven of Nine upending her late ‘90s incarnation, we’re
forced to confront the stumbles of
Star Trek’s past. In 2020, what can
we learn from looking back at
Trek — and with all the strides it made
for female representation, can we really call it sexist?"
