I don’t find the way Star Trek Picard uses swear words to be unnatural. What I find forced is when Joe Pesci says “fuck” every 5 words in a Mafia movie. That’s a lot more gratuitous than it’s use in Picard.
The Admiral "F***ing" Clancy Appreciation Thread
- Thread starter Lord Garth
- Start date
In my experience, this is very much a regional thing. As somebody who spent much of my adult life in New York, it often comes as a shock to realize that there are still parts of the country where saying "fuck" is a big deal and not just casual punctuation. And as for whether it's "professional" . . . I'm guessing that also depends on the profession. What's inappropriate for a Sunday school teacher may be perfectly normal for a dissolute sci-fi writer.
Clearly, Clancy comes from the 24th century equivalent of Brooklyn . . . or maybe the East Village.
I'm not do certain she was right on the first occasion, but definitely on the second. That first one could go either way imo.She's been my favourite addition to the Trek canon from this series, by far.
And she was absolutely right, both times, to tell Picard what she did. He always was an arrogant s.o.b, so it's nice to see an Admiral call him on it at long last.
I mean, even ten years ago I might have been offended. But, then I worked shipping, with former military and in the health care industry.In my experience, this is very much a regional thing.

Some how I managed to adapt.
This thread is fucking usesless without pictures.
Fucking brilliant, that.
Every time she says the word, her eyes go wide.
You should fucking start, because you're pretty fucking good at it
Every officer in every military in the history of existence has sworn prolifically while on duty. Well, maybe not every one, but most of them. 95% plus, easily.
Sheer fucking hubris is quotable though.
Are you kidding? I wanna see it!
Hopefully in the fucking finale!
I think saying it to Clancy in the season finale would be the perfect payoff for her two conspicuous uses.
Jean-Luc doesn't need to, he's fucking Picard.

There we go...
"I'M JEAN-LUC FUCKING PICARD!!!"
"I'M JEAN-LUC FUCKING PICARD!!!"
OK, I can see that now. Make it so!
Clancy: Jean Luc on behalf of Starfleet we would like to apologize and offer you a new command.
Picard: Go fuck yourself Admiral........I have a ship and crew.
