Picard not reciprocating is very much in character given the fact he wasn’t used to being around them. The little girl’s appreciation to Picard for saving her, with the gift of flowers, was touching. My initial reaction to the scene was quite positive. Prior to that, probably the premier episode, it was established that Picard had some trepidation dealing with children to the point he mentions it to Riker. The Picard scene with the child I remember well. Awkward for the character, but the scene itself is a great character moment that was very well acted and received very well by audiences. From what I recall experiencing it in theaters, it brought the house down with much laughter. That bar scene with McCoy was one of the lighter moments in what is a very dramatic movie. I looked through the rest of the postings and came to the conclusion that awkward moments in Trek do not mean they are cringe worthy. When I saw the Star Trek III posting of McCoy’s Spock gesture, I almost flipped. when he knew EXACTLY where to target a Borg Cube but forgot to report that to Starfleet and/or must have been in communication with the Borg.


Crusher/Yar/failure at Mars/loss of the Ent-D and remember his greatest moment in First Contact. And then you really wonder why the guy is obsessing about Data and AI vs. Picard never played cards or really interacted with his crew and under his watch the Stargazer was abandoned and the Enterprise-D lost to a 150 year old BOP. Then you really think about your fav episode in Best of Both Worlds where Picard was pretty much the bad guy and you were cheering for Riker to nav deflector him. Or Star Trek Picard when the viewer starts watching thinking “Picard was the greatest” only to find out Picard screwed up on Mars then become a hermit who self isolated himself from his “friends”. “Botany Bay! Oh no!!” “This is Ceti Alpha V?!?!” What the… guess I should have paid just a little more attention to that scan of the solar system given Ceti Alpha VI is gone! Oops!! My bad!!! Sorry!!! It had to be a little awkward for Chekov in Star Trek II. – the short Postmodern Revival (DSC + PIC + LD) – The Grand Era of Modern Trek (TNG-ENT) as the center The only “good” thing about it Trek-wise is that Star Trek does have some sort of a neat symmetrical structure after this. It’s not the end of world, but it most certainly is the end of the world as we know it. This event isn’t limited to certain aspects of life – it will change life as we know it for good.
AWKWARD MOMENTS MOVIE
Hundreds of thousands of companies, clubs, movie theatres, private schools, artists will be gone after that half-year lock-down that’s upon us – in the best case scenario. Pubs and restaurants, irreparably damaged. The virus itself is dangerous enough but the economic implications are beyond anything we’ve ever seen, not even in 1929. Whether you deem the “hysteria” justified or not is up to you but that hysteria is happening, and it has been answered by politics all over the world and those decision will most certainly put an end to the world as we know it. “This media induced hysteria has to frickin’ end already,and the world isn’t ending just yet,not even as we know it,lol!”
