Maybe Worf is a talking head on the federation news network who advocates deporting refugees.
I didn't hate the scene, but it definitely felt "off," even the music. They could have found a better way to state why Picard left Starfleet and bring up the Mars attack.
That's the only time he appears
Picard: We're going to stay and evacuate Romulus.
Worf: Sir, we have lost Mars! We should not sacrifice...
Picard: We have not lost Mars, Mister Worf. We are not going to lose Mars. Not to the synths. Not while I'm in command. You have your orders.
Worf: I must object to this course of action.
Picard: Your objection is noted.
Worf: With all due respect, sir, ...I believe you are allowing your personal experience with a synth to influence your judgement!
Picard: You're afraid. You want to abandon the Romulans and run away. You coward!
Worf: If you were any other man I would kill you where you stand!

I guess I'm the only person that liked that scene, especially when Picard erupted into righteous indignation after being prodded by the reporter. Nice way to combine some exposition, characterization, and conflict.
Plus, I've always been kinda curious about where the reporters were on STAR TREK. Aside from Jake Sisko, we don't often see journalists or even civilian media on STAR TREK. (I admit, I keep flirting with the idea of doing a book where a cynical, hardboiled journalist is "embedded" on the Enterprise.)
I think the Starfleet military was probably pretty strict about coverage on classified and sensitive operations, which Trek episodes often involved. This is one of the few times we've seen how Picard and his career is viewed by the general populace. Before this, Star Trek seemed to exist in a bubble in-universe. We never even saw how Earth's populace reacted to their near assimilation led by Locutus and whether Picard had trouble regaining trust after that.
Point being. No money. No a Profiteering sensationalism. Human nature might still provide a demand in the future for ‘in your face’ journalism. There’s no reason for it to be widely tolerated,
What was the incentive to even do that interview? He’s a decorated war hero that wants for nothing. He has a voice, a platform, on his own terms. It makes no sense.
“Oi. Jean-Luc. Fancy doing a live interview with an angry gobshite, to whom you owe nothing, and attempts, ineptly, to discredit your laudable actions of the past?”
Or do they just say and act like they didn't like it for more YouTube click money? They don't believe their bollocks any more than we do.
Every show I watch has a lot of producers of various types listedAnyone else notice there is a lot of co executive producer's and executive producer on this show.
I liked it. He's a retired Starfleet legend haunted by not only more than a decade of regret and anger over the failure to deploy the rescue armada but also by memories of lost friends and loved ones. He has a reporter using irritating "gotcha" methods of asking questions and inside his own home no less. The fact he simply got angry and walked out of the interview was pretty restrained.
Are you kidding? Best scene in the whole episode. The performances were great. The reporter made me grit my teeth I disliked her so much. And Stewart just absolutely SOLD us on who Picard is now.
Reminded me a lot of "Picard vs Lily" in Star Trek: First Contact (my favorite scene in that movie)
This thread is a lot of pages, but a question about a scene in the film.
After the rooftop altercation, when Dahj is seemingly killed and Picard is injured/unconscious, why is he simply returned to his sofa?
If Federation authorities witnessed the altercation (even if they couldn't see Dahj or the Romulan agents as explained away by theoretical cloaking devices, there was an explosion either way), wouldn't they have held him for debriefing?
If they didn't witness any of that, and simply believed he fell over from just being an old man, wouldn't they still have kept him in sickbay and waited for him to wake up for a PCP to discuss what happened with him?
Authorities sending him straight home before regaining consciousness makes no sense.
This is why I believe Dahj is not actually dead, and the Romulan agents sent him home and pretended to be Federation authorities when they spoke with Picards servants.
I also question Picard's reaction to Dahj's death. He was "waiting to die" and suddenly now he has a purpose...and she is lost. You would think he would he devastated. But he says one or two lines and doesn't really have much reaction. But at the same time, he's not totally internalizing his grief, but just makes some minor comments. Felt weird.

Well shit, of course not. Making a pleasant video about how surprisingly good it was completely goes against their entire act, and doesn't get nearly as many clicks.
Buffoons.
I liked the reporters at the launch of the Enterprise-B.
You are not alone.
It rang true to how some folks in the Federation must perceive Picard since he gave up his commission in Star Fleet for the Romulans.
Besides she was obviously just using the interview to further her career, getting a famous (fallen) celebrity to 'go off' on camera buy less dubious means, is a well known newsroom tactic.
It wouldn't be Star Trek without a duel between identical twins.
