Star Trek: 10 Best Episodes Showcasing Female Empowerment
4. Seven And Raffi On The Titan-A
When we say we want Star Trek: Legacy, we're not just looking for a continuation of Star Trek in the 25th Century. Star Trek: Picard's final episode The Last Generation places Seven Of Nine and Raffi Musiker as captain of, and first officer of, the Enterprise-G respectively. Though their relationship was stop-start along the way, their combined efforts against the Borg helped to ensure their ship and crew's survival.
Picard's third season finally gave Jeri Ryan the command position she had earned through her efforts on Star Trek: Voyager. As first officer of the Titan-A, she reminded us, rather than convinced us, that she was more than capable of leading a crew into deep space. Despite yet again having to face the Collective, she manages to hold them at bay long enough to save most of the lives on the ship.
Raffi had a winding journey to reach a similar destination, through her dismissal from Starfleet, her vindication, her reinstatement, and eventually her undercover work. Landing aboard the Titan-A was no mistake and while Captain Worf may have been the one to 'accidentally' inform her family of her successes, she was the one who earned them.
The final shots of both women in command of the newly-christened Enterprise-G offer a wealth of possibility for the future, as well as the stark reminder that there are stories in Star Trek's universe that remain distinctly unfinished.
