Look, yes, Jeri looks gorgeous with her hair down and curled. And I KNOW that it’s probably a nod to Seven trying to appear more soft and human. BUT, in my opinion Picard missed a BIG opportunity to have Seven come back with a super short hairstyle. The kind she never got to have on voyager, but which her tight, no fuss pinned up style could have evolved into. I’m talking shaved sides, crew cut kinda vibe. It’s efficient, it doesn’t get in the way when your busy renegading, and it’s less likely to overstimulate or overwhelm. But she would still distinctly have hair, unlike being fully borg.

Julian: did you see the Federation News? Admiral Picard is dealing with the fucking Changelings now, ha! Good luck. We needed a Jesus Christ style deification to get rid of those last time
Garak: Yes, my dear, and did you see what happened to that poor former captain Riker?
Julian: ... Elim
Garak: I hear his wife is a betazoid, the daughter of that, err, lovely Madam Troi that married good Odo for a week that one time
Julian: Elim I know what you-
Garak: it does make one wonder, doesn't it? If a betazoid woman in her... middle age thing, how is it called?
Julian: we just call it "the phase"
Garak: very scientific, Doctor, as always. If a betazoid woman undergoing "the phase", in full control of her empathetic abilities, could be fooled... It follows that the changelings would be able to mimic even the very signature of a person's emotions, and isn't that something?
Julian: the fact that Deanna fucked a changeling doesn't make me feel any better about the fact that you fucked a changeling, Garak

“Raffi,” he said, with some amusement, “you never cease to amaze me. What on earth is Romulan indeterminate polyphony?”
[...]
“It’s singing, yes? Voices, unaccompanied.”
“That part,” he said, “I understood. How about the indeterminacy?”
“They don’t know what the other people are singing. [...] They are given a starting note, a musical key, and a tempo. The performers are in separate rooms. The audience sits in a gallery above and looks down on them. They’re given the cue to start, and off they go.”
Picard contemplated this. He had not considered how the Romulan principle of secrecy might play out in their art. “What a fascinating idea… How does it sound?”
“How do you think it sounds? It sounds fucking awful.”
