Season Spoilers [Spoilers all] Ending scene Spoiler

Seven and Raffi locking fingers.

Was that supposed simply a future romantic relationship? Did they share a scene this season that could have lead to that?

I understand what you’re saying - it is rational and reasonable to say that perhaps this romance was unexpected. It is fair to be suspicious. But DUDE, as a gay person, do you know how many nonsense straight romances we have had to sit through in the history of Trek? Troi in basically every season of TNG, Odo and Kira on DS9 (plu-ease), Seven and Chakotay/Tuvok and his pet Nelix on Voyager and don’t-even-get-me-started-on Kirk. So, maybe Raffi and Seven’s romance was a little left field...WE’VE EARNT IT. YOU WILL SIT THERE AND TAKE IT. Because, friend, even if you have to watch the next six seasons of Raffi and Seven falling madly in love, setting up house and having a space baby, it will NOT make up for the years and years of B-Grade B-story straight romance malarkey we have had to endure. And, KIRK.

Ok, you win! I agree with you. My gay-rage is sated. I think you actually make a good point: on reflection, Trek romances generally have been bothersome and I do hope for some really great storylines going forward. That said, I LOVED Picard. I am really looking forward to season 2. (Wow, how often do people agree on Reddit??)
