This is awesome! I was worried that the stories for this year’s issue had been finalized before SFA aired.

That cover with the queer characters makes me think of many of them start as hetero or bisexual at first place, like Seven of Nine and Mariner who used to be with a man before having a girlfriend.

It was intentional or a change with the pass of time?

Seven's bisexuality was definitely an invention of "Picard" (not that there's anything wrong with that).

In Mariner's case, I wouldn't be surprised if her bisexuality was intended from the beginning.

I have the feeling Mariner's was also invention of posterior seasons and not from the beginning.
