Not to state the obvious, but it's probably because they're clearly related to Vulcans, but they already managed to develop logic as a foundational principle at a pre-industrial stage without having to go through war and a big social split. Now with this knowledge, they'll likely accelerate efforts towards science and math. If they also got the extended lifespan genes, then the knowledge of the visit with aliens will be preserved and motivate dramatic leaps forward. Nuria could well see the development of her society into an industrial age. They might only be 200 - 300 years away from developing warp technology.

One of the reasons this is one of my favorite episodes is the depictions of the Mintakans themselves: They are never shown as stupid or blindly irrational; most of them try to think critically about what they learn. Nuria was actually resistant to believing in gods again until the evidence seemed to point in that direction.
@matasa7463

Actually, part of the reason why Picard was able to salvage the situation at all was because the Mintakans are a proto-Vulcanoid species, meaning they have the power of reasoning and logic that the Vulcans do, and perhaps also their psionic potential as well. They also obviously possess that very potent emotion that must be held in check by said powerful mental powers of reasoning and logic. You can tell by how quickly they adapted at the end, being able understand quickly on why the Prime Directive needed to exist, and just accepting the rationale of having to take the time they need to grow as a people, and not just start demanding they be uplifted. We've seen other species grow suspicious or paranoid, and demanding power be given to them immediately, but not to better themselves, instead just wanting to continue their path of violence using that new found power of technology. It can be assumed that now enlightened, the Mintakans will push all their efforts into education, research, and development of their society, and will basically speedrun their way into the Federation.

He doesn't say "No" or "I do not wish it" or anything that implies it is about his desires or control over her. He says "I do not deserve it". It instantly shows Picard understands psychology and anthropology (as he's shown having an interest in), is humble and would rather lose face in front of someone than deceive them. Picard, as a character, might not deserve worship but he deserves utmost respect.

Although the windows usually have a simple black curtain with reflective "stars" that require no VFX, for a planet it is a bluescreen effect, and since the blue reflects in the table in camera, in post production they can replace the blue reflection in the table with a flipped image of the scene that replaces the bluescreen in the window.

This was the epitome of Picard the Captain, the Explorer, the man who wanted knowledge and was generous in helping others get the same perspective on the universe. And now we have bitter old Picard who went to the stars not because of thirst of understanding and passionfor exploration, but to flee from an abusive home. Shame on you Star Trek Picard!!

I've never really watched TNG or any true Star Trek series for that matter (I'm 26 but my dad was a trekky and star wars fan growing up) so I've been subjected to random bits here and there throughout life, but now being on my own and randomly watching some of these 3-5 minute existential clips from this show make me tear up and cry in amazement and wonder at the writing and music and acting behind them. Pretty sure I should watch this show lmfao.

They're actually are several good episodes in the first season. The problem is that Picard has not yet reached his maximum performance during that season.

This is one of Picard’s best moments. You can really see that these are the moments he lives for, to see humanity’s youth in other species, and in individuals like Nuria. To watch others follow the same path that brought humans to the stars. And here, he gets to _inspire_ those aspirations rather than watching him. Ironic, he convinces her not to be afraid of him, but imagine how scared he must be. He holds in his hands the sole responsibility for the future of this race. How he handles this conversation will determine how Nuria leads her community, and thus how her people will grow. And he navigates it like a fucking _champ._

What may seem trivial and normal to some can be magical and otherworldly to others, especially if it's technology that is so far removed from anything the person has seen or experienced in their lifetime. Though, to be fair, Picard's right in another way: with how fast Nuria caught on to the concept he explained to her, it does show that members of her race are quick learners, which lends itself very well to advanced intelligence.

This is what made TNG so special and showcases what Disco is missing. Hope, a message for a brighter future, and lessons about humanity. Discovery's biggest problem is that it's mean-spirited. There's no message of hope or bright future, it's just the adventures of Burnham and the ship that can magically fight better than everyone else. That's why Disco will never even hold a candle to TNG. It's all pew pew no thought
