Just watched a great ST: TNG. Ask me anything!
It was the one where Picard goes back to France and visits his brother. After he has been taken over by the Borg and he is emotionally fragile...

He has a mud-fight with his brother and accepts the fact that he is human and flawed. What a great scene. I actually got weepy. 2 great actors! Great episode!

7. And Picard's "uncle" in that episode comes back a few years later
to play a young Picard in "Rascals".

I thought that was kind of cool!

9. He really did mimic Stewart well, didn't he?
It was great! The shirt tugging, the walk, the speach pattern - had it all down really well!

3. I taped it to watch tomorrow
But I've already seen it. Even a repeat of TNG beats the hell out of most daytime programming around here.

6. One of their best episodes
And the only one that never showed the bridge!

I also weep when Picard breaks down - it has always had real emotional ties to my own life, but especially after being in 9-11, it has tenfold the meaning. I always cry when I watch it.

One of the best written episodes of the series - very human, very truthful, very real, and I think most everyone has a palce in taht story to find themselves.

And that what writing - good writing - is all about.
