I love how Freeman is absolutely her daughter’s mother, with her own occasional snarky comments about Starfleet and Federation leadership, and an instinct for morality over legality. I can’t remember the exact episode but there was a great scene in a turbolift with her and Ransom where she’s grumbling about “Starfleet’s policy of some interference” when it hamstrings her from ethical actions.
I also love how Freeman’s job as captain of a California-class ship is hinted at over the seasons as being a result of Freeman’s own rebellious streak, and not any sort of incompetence. When push comes to shove Freeman is a damn good captain. The apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
The sheer complexity of Freeman’s character is very refreshing to me. Your take is my take too.
One of my favorite Freeman moments was that “so cringe it’s actually cool somehow” moment where she settled on “warp me.” I still say “warp me” sometimes in Star Trek Online.
I wish I did. It was in the first minute of the episode where Mariner was ranting as the name popped up below.
Longshot chance it was Captain Freeman and I misremembered, but I think it was Mariner.
