We haven't had that spirit here since 1969.

Can't believe y'all are forgetting Dr. Selar.

One appearance and a bunch of mentions by other characters do not a recurring character make. :smugdog:

I did, however, forget Worf's adopted parents.

what a humorous anecdote.

Drone posted:

I'm probably in the minority on this but "Family" is legit one of my favorite episodes of TNG and one that I somehow hadn't seen until recently. Maybe it resonated a bit more for me because I've lived 4500 miles away from my family for the last seven years, but :shrug:

Oh god, I barely remember this episode because I last watched it 14 years ago probably but I live 400 miles away from my family now and I'm super homesick. How hard am I going to cry on a rewatch y/n

It depends. How recently were you last assimilated by the Borg?

It's so great seeing Picard bond with his family only for them all to die horribly as of Generations.

Oh wait.

It's not great at all.

Jean-Luc Picard: "The Nexus, you say? I can travel back to any point in history using this magical wormhole ribbon? Hmmmm."

*goes back a few hours instead of going back a week or so, warning his brother and nephew about the fire and having Dr. Soren arrested on sight, in addition to saving Jim Kirk from MIA status for a better part of the last century*

Smart thinkin' there, Captain.

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

Young Picard goes on to get stabbed through the heart the following night over a game of Andorian cee-lo.

Was Picard’s familydying a Ron Moore idea? Because he has the irritating tendency to just kill characters for no apparent reason.

Even more tragic was killing Hutch in Starship Mine and no one giving a gently caress. He taught Data so much about small talk god drat it. :smith:

Don't plan on it. There are very, very few recurring characters in TNG, and two of them are the Romulans already mentioned.

Edit: Beyond Tomalak and Sela, the only other ones I can think of are Kurn, Lursa, B'etor, Gowron, Lefler, Nechayev, Lea Brahms and, of course, Q.

Imagine if Rockne S. O'Bannon had been the show runner and half of these characters had been hot Australians muppets become main characters after a season or two.

Young Jean Luc would just learn all the wrong lessons from that.

He was just following the Temporal Prime Directive to meddle as little as possible. :v:

You are an odd fellow, but I must say... you throw a swell shindig.

It's all so dumb because nothing else in the movie hinges on the idea of being able to exit the nexus any time, anywhere. They just as easily could have had Guinan say a different sentence that indicates Picard had to exit the nexus at that particular point for some reason.

They use genetic engineering. Or it's a Rigellian Space Weevil that happens to look like a dog.

The dog has actually been Q for years, he got bored of quick fire loving with Picard and decided to commit to a serious bit.

Or there was some kind of mind swap. Picard sets out for an adventure with Riker in the body of a dog, meanwhile Troi is left to look after a dog in the body of Riker.
