This scene struck me as so cool back then. Here you have Wesley and Captain Picard having a real dialogue and enjoying lunch together. I think that's when I really warmed up to the show.
rollerblading geek Wesley was not afraid of Picard anymore and started to view him as a father figure. Wesley even mentioned this in his last episode as a series regular
It really only appears casual. Sometimes, a response to recalling a traumatic event is the stereotypical "THEY'RE IN THE TREES!" thing. Other times, its just breaking down in tears (like we saw in Family) or lashing out in anger (like we saw in First Contact). Still other times, its disconnected-ness.
this guy can deliver the most awkward lines ever thought up in showbizz, and make them masterpieces.....the only guy that outranks a number one, and bosses him around too!
i love this ep, because Wesley is really there to look out for the captain , also what Picard tells Wesley is still one of the legendary stories he always talks about, and also relives the act again
If I had a food replicator, I would totally use it for sandwiches.... No seriously. I would probably make the exact same sandwich with potato chips, and a Cherry Coke. Or root beer. Or Dr. Pepper.
Starfleet officer - "This is a replicator. It can make any food you desire from the various alien cultures in federation space, from klingon gact, to Romulan ale. Whatever you could wish for." Me - "Cool. Cheetos and orange Fanta please."
@@difficultbastard I would ask for something to know how good it was at its job, and then start going down the entire menu of all alien food just to taste it, one different meal every day.
@Ucallit 71 I am sorry, but what i haνe just experienced is.. many accusations, and surprisingly no proof to back them up. Is he a drunk? Seνeral times he was caught being intoxicated, indeed. But then again, the greatest majority of celebrities, and artists in general, are under the influence of substances or alcohol, not constantly, of course, but quite often. Nine Hells, eνe my faνorite actor, Antony Hopkins, was an alcoholic! Does that make the wicked?! Of course not, no matter how much some people insist upon that. Is he toxic? How one reaches that conclusion, if they do not personally know someone?
@Ucallit 71 Again, being addicted to substances is not, and it neνer will be, a sign of a man's or a woman's quality. George Carlin was both an alcoholic and a drug addict. But he was also kind, decent, modest, goodhearted and worthy of respect. And hating the publicity in neither a good or a bad characteristic. Losing your anonymity and haνιng countless yahoos chasing you eνery day, causing you problems and grief is a nightmare. Now. Is he weird? All true artists are. Actually, from my experience, artists are eccentric, peculiar, and bizarre. But psychotic? Why? Asshole? Again, why? He neνer sought fame. He desired art. Sir Alec Guinness despised fame. People worshiping him as a god. All true artists do not desire popularity, but perfecting their art.
I cant believe picard was held down by three guys and penetrated. Well At least he got one of them down in a devious jointlock before one of his chums drew his ''weapon'' and impaled him through the back, but as picard said "curious sensation really, not much pain''
Tens of thousands of courses programmed in the replicator and Picard eats a white bread sandwich with coffee? What the hell?? I would have been, "Would you care for another filet mingon, Wesley?"
Even though it contradicts Picard's story here? They weren't giving the Nausicans a wide berth in that episode, far from it, and Picard wasn't the instigator, his friend was (even before oldster JL tried to save his heart).
Friday night on the town for Picard: hit the clubs, get some space shots, insult some aliens, get into a fist fight, get stabbed in the heart, get patched up, and then sleep off the vicoden and booze
He seems to think of his nephew Rene as his substitute son more than Wes. Though maybe he feels some guilt since he's the one who left Jack Crusher to die.
Well if it'll make anything you want, why not a sandwich? Some days i want a good steak, some days spaghetti, and some days a simple BLT on white bread. :-)
The seeming confusion points to our "not yet realized" , not yet experienced hypothetical future...What would YOU do if any food, any material thing, any experience (in a holo-deck), whatever you desire...is instantly available to you? Would you eat yourself to death?, fill up spaces with things you perceive as valuable?....an interesting thought for sure, how would we all react? We see many examples of this with hyper-rich individuals & their bizarre behaviour & acquisitions...many unable to shake off millennia of particular instincts.
Picard invented the term LOL and that fact is noticed by no one. Nausican: I just stabbed you in the heart Picard: LOL That's epic, this episode was great!
the rest of the ep is Riker and Laforge battling wits against a group of humanoid type aliens called "Pakled" who are kinda(a parody of Austistic, and baby behavior) and thinks they force the Enterprise to repair their ship, *for anyone who really cared to know about this ep* -.- and someone had to at least explain this, and no i did not seach this up to explain, this is one of my fav eps from TNG-.-
“A trio of Norsicans came in. I then offered them a sandwich. Seductively. Shortly afterwards I put them each in a joint lock. Over and over and over..... shit I need to change my underwear.”
Blooper at 4:36. Picard hands Wes the plate with his left hand and has he tea in his right. Then after Wes grabs another sandwich, it shows Picard with the plate in his right hand and a sandwich in the left. One hell of a magic trick.
@Celinancc1701 At the time, they were playing with the idea that the Klingons had joined. You can also see a federation symbol on the Klingon display during the episode where Riker is on an exchange program to a Klingon ship (presumably an exchange program between Federation members).
@BobbyTubes Regarding the release of waste, I think we all use a wide dispersal setting from time to time! :-) And I don't fear the Trek knowledge, but I sure do respect it!
No, that episode you're talking about is after Wesley ditches that grey uniform for a Starfleet one. But this scene is neat, I never knew there was an episode before Tapestry that set it up. I just thought it was a random piece of Picard's history brought up out of nowhere.
Directors cut: Picard slowly gets up and seats himself next to Wesley. "You know Wesley, I really need to stop this charade..." Picard gently places his hand on Wesley's inner thigh.
"Lunch with Patrick Stewart" Now there's a talk show I wouldn't miss for the world. A perfect British lunch: Patrick Stewart, Sean Connery and someone else I got stuck at the tip of my tongue. Kind of an exclusive club to get onto no doubt.
Rockynia, By order of the high priest of the Picard, you are hereby banned from all Trekkie conventions, and forbidden to ever request autographs. May Q have mercy on your soul.
As a young teen I always thought Wesley was the gay one. There was always something very awkward about him when around Picard, and I think Picard knew deep down about Wesley which is why he too is awkward. I dont think Picard is gay, just freaked a little bit.
You people talk so much shit sometimes, its obvious, none of you fans of Star Trek or don't care, this ep is called Samaritan Snare Season 2 ep 17,and this ep is basically first beginning of Wesley and Picard being close to each other getting to know this scene was made this way to show the relationship also that Wesley is going for exams and Picard was en route as well to Starbase 515 as well that's basicallly part of this ep,for story wise
@adiostraitorobama The Klingons having joined the Federation was dropped after the first few seasons. There are a few small references to it before then, like this one.
My mind even gayed this conversation up. Im German and therefore is misheard the part at the beginning where he said "You want some coffe, Ensign?". I mishear "Ensign" for "Handsome" =D
