OMG I’m watching Retrospect and the Doctors questioning seems almost prurient   :/  by her own words Seven was violated. I mean I get he needed to get details but it felt like he was really pushing her. Then when the doctor tells Janeway and Tuvok, they are disbelieving and wanting “corroboration”. Janeway says “in the wrong hands a single nano probe could lead to disaster” like ok but is that what is relevant here?!? Man I feel sick.

I mean this is providing lots of material for my “Raffi on Voyager AU” but at what cost :/

Consider me in shock and appalled. I thought there would have been some kind of vindication. Some justice. But nope. And then in the end they focused more on the doctors pain and and Janeways regret. Like what the ever living fuck.

Seriously I only kept watching because I was sure it had to come right in the end. That it would have to be fixed. That there would be an apology and support and stuff. Not this. Nothing like this.

Ok I don’t do this often but that is going on the blacklist, never ever freaking watch ever again. There may also be fix-it fic. If I can bear to think about it tomorrow. I really I’m stunned. How could they do that? That felt so bad.

That episode, and a lot of the ones around it were so horrific for that reason! Like no one talked about Seven not being believed by Janeway right away and just being told it was from when she was assimilated (eventho now we know that we can’t fabricate memories like studies used to suggest, bc they’re not generalizable). They all moved on from stasis without recognizing that Seven spent a month in isolation, was hallucinating, and willing to sacrifice herself so the rest of the crew would get through the nebula and after all that Janeway said she wasnt giving enough for the crew…

The last time I had this much horror and righteous indignation I wrote about 20k in 3 days. Idk if that’s spite writing or what.

But right now my mind is just echoing with “it gets worse???” Because ofc it does.

I am reeling. Like I had no idea. Sure I know some stuff but this is my first Voyager watch. I’m raw reacting to it like it’s not 20 years old – it’s new to me. So I have all those feelings.
