You're exaggerating the problem in your statement. I believe Picard will be more mentally crippled in the new series than diplomatic and noble like in TNG.

Reminds me of the letter that King George V had written, where he made plain his views that the Victoria Cross, the UK's highest military honour shouldn't be forfeited from an individual in any circumstance. That even if he does wrong later on, the valour shown and represented in that award cannot be dismissed or ignored, and that even if a recipient should find himself being hung from the gallows, they should be allowed to wear the decoration proudly. It seems war often takes a part of individuals that go to fight in it, a change that can never really be undone. We expect veterans to just move on with their lives like with any old job, but even if that job didn't take the lives it can take their body and soul in part. They are allowed unique honours, and a veteran never stops being a veteran for that reason in my opinion, we just forget a lot of the time as a society.

I was a filmmaker in a former life. if my actors were using their hands and body language too dramatically I had an exercise for them. I'd tell them to sit in a chair and pretend they were in an electrical chair about to be executed and they had to attack the corrupt warden with their words. (The scene they were doing did not have anything to do with prison, just an exercise.) They were strapped in including hands, legs and even their head so they could only use their two biggest weapons as actors. Their voices and their eyes. It was really effective for bringing their hand gestures down and getting them to use their voice like Picard does in this scene. If you've ever seen the movie Philadelphia, I love how all the attorneys sit still during the court scenes and don't move around a la 'your out of line!' style. It must have been difficult to get all that great talent to sit still for a whole scene!

They are a peaceable people but an earnest people, and they will fight, too. They are not going to let this country be destroyed without a mighty effort to save it… "Besides, where are your men and appliances of war to contend against them? The North can make a steam engine, locomotive, or railway car; hardly a yard of cloth or pair of shoes can you make. You are rushing into war with one of the most powerful, ingeniously mechanical, and determined people on Earth-right at your doors. "You are bound to fail. Only in your spirit and determination are you prepared for war. In all else you are totally unprepared, with a bad cause to start with. At first you will make headway, but as your limited resources begin to fail, shut out from the markets of Europe as you will be, your cause will begin to wane. If your people will but stop and think, they must see in the end that you will surely fail."--William T. Sherman "Let me tell you what is coming. After the sacrifice of countless millions of treasure and hundreds of thousands of lives you may win Southern independence, but I doubt it. The North is determined to preserve this Union. They are not a fiery, impulsive people as you are, for they live in colder climates.

There is a coldness to the final line "We will be watching" which makes the federation seem quite sinister if one were to look at this scenario from the Cardassian perspective. It's a moment which makes Picard and the Federation almost look like Romulans.

If this had been the Imperial version of Picard. He would have not bothered to talk with Gul Macet, simply just have his bodyguard remove his bloodied corpse and instructed the guard to insure the airlock his corpse was ejected from led to his ship.

POEM BY MAJOR MICHAEL DAVIS O’DONNELL WRITTEN ON JANUARY 1, 1970 AT DAK TO Who died in a helicopter crash in Cambodia in March 1970 -If you are able, save them a place inside you. And save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go. Be not ashamed to say you loved them, though you may or may not have always. Take what they have left, and what they have taught you with their dying, and keep it as your own. And in that time that when men decide, and feel safe, to call the war insane, take one moment, to embrace these gentle heroes you left behind-

@@mngentry I discovered the poem after my father's funeral. He was 'career' US Army (Korean War and Vietnam War) 23-years active duty, first as an Infantrymen then Field Artillery. He never ever talked about his combat experiences, nor the racism he was subjected to in the military (circa 1950-1973). I think he wanted me to remain 'innocent', being a child of the 1970s where such things were becoming a memory only talked about in books and movies. He only talked about the "good times" with his brothers and sisters in uniform and instructed me to respect all peoples no matter who they were. It was hard at times empathizing with the horrors and pain he went through because as a child I had no perspective. It took episodes like this along with the openness of the 1980s (about 'Nam) for my father to begin privately forgiving himself for what he had to do to survive and forgive 'others' for what they tried to do to him, in order for them to survive. Not to mention my own experiences while serving in the military for both of us to come to an understanding. The rest of our family has never and will never understand our bond. In other words, live and let live. I remembered his wisdom when I entered the US Army as a Combat Medical Specialist [Medic] and this poem was the first poem I ever memorized. I resight it every year on my father's birthday and those of my fallen brothers and sisters. If my father had lived he would have been 90-years old this year. I'm glad you liked the poem. It's something special for me and many veterans and those persons who love them. Right or wrong they deserve nothing less.

The Worst Parent it’s mostly the effort to make a multi-season story ark. Writers forget that that they can just cast talented actors/actresses and make one good story. and that story is fun to watch, so people will watch the next one. And then the next, and so on. Edit: By one story, I mean one episode. This isn’t the Avengers. Make an entertaining story, with an entertaining crew that lasts for about 45 minutes.

Picard changed because the writers and showrunners and whole purpose of the show changed. Much thought was put into the making of this TNG episode. Much eye-candy gets put into the making of each PIC episode. Even the most talented performers can't salvage a role which turns them into passive background wretches.

I think the problem was that not much time was spend on that change and therefore felt kind of forced or just not well done. I also think that unless a person is really broken inside that it would still be essentially the same person. He doesn't need to act as if he was still a captain of Starfleet, but I think that ST: Picard should have shown much more of his diplomatic, humanistic and wiser character traits. Apart from some very few moments, if any, I never got the feeling that it was the same character. Picard on ST: Picard seemed kind of lost to me for the entirety of the show. I also think that most of the new characters weren't very well written (1 or 2 of them I found downright annoying) apart from a few scenes. 3-4 episodes I quite enjoyed, but found the overall show lacking.

Although Picard knows Maxwell is speaking the truth, he cannot let that overshadow the chance of peace which to him is too precious. It must be hard to put down a fellow officer thereby granting the enemy more time to build up. This makes the federation looks like it is making all the wrong moves.

Brilliant writing and showed Picard got there by being the better Captain. Maxwell couldn't know how else to stop this. Picard however knew Maxwell was entirely right, but saw a different way. As Gul Macet leaves and thought this incident was closed, thinking he pulled the wool of the Federation's eyes, Picard checks him and told Macet that not only did you not fool the Federation, but federation is aware of what you're trying to pull here. Sometimes simply foiling your enemy's plan to conceal is deterrent enough to stop it going any further.

I love how Macet is outraged and railing at the actions of Maxwell but Picard strikes fear into him with mere words. Maxwell tried to stop the freighters with force. Picard made the Cardassians too scared to send them. This is not a dare or a challenge. Picard is, with a very calm demeanour, informing Macet that the line has been drawn.

I like this episode because it heavily implies the Cardassians are up to something without expressing confirming or denying it. Thereby leaving it up to the audience to determine if the actions were justified or not.
