The only watchable part of the Final Frontier is the fact that pain is a fact of life.
Kirk witnessed a brutal massacre of 4,000 fellow Tarsus IV colonists at the age of 13 and just barely avoided being executed as well. Prime Kirk got to keep both of his parents but experienced other traumas.
Bones euthanized his dad. Which, damn.
That's not even including things like David and the Enterprise that happened onscreen.
Wow. They actually did explain the apparent continuity error of Picard seeing his mother as an old woman in Where None Have Gone Before.
I like the idea of the Borg pursuing a voluntary collective. I always thought the MU Borg should be that.

And McCoy's father died of an illness that had its cure found by McCoy himself shortly thereafter. Is it any wonder he was so grumpy for the next forty years, or one hundred ten if we include "Encounter at Farpoint, Part I(TNG)"?
But yet they could still make a nice dress.
Ugh, you have just chosen the film that I am going to watch tonight. I’ve not watched this one in about 15 years…
Eh? She had that dress on for the gala. The probes didn't make it.
If you mean her Queen outfit, she took that off her dead body, those were good nanoprobes.
I meant her Queen dress… the Borg don’t do red Dresses… she would have had an angry Spanish bull chasing her down the road in no time standing out so blatantly in that little red number.
1) "Don't kink shame" was a joke.
2) I didn't twist your words. I didn't accuse you of doing anything intentionally. But you claimed there was something "weird" about Picard having sometimes imagined his late mother as an old woman and other times thinking about her only as the young woman she was when she died, even though that is an extremely common pattern among those who have lost loved ones. To imply it's "weird" for Picard to do both things is to imply it's weird for real people to do those things. You should have realized this and been more sensitive.
Most of the things you whine about were explained in the episode and you did not pay enough attention to notice. The writers don't need to "account" for anything -- they don't work for you and are not accountable to you. The brand is not damaged and in fact the Star Trek brand is healthier today than it has ever been.
So you want someone else to do most of the labor yet receive only a small percentage of the wealth their labor creates?
What do you mean "never impacted him?" We know for a fact that Jean-Luc is not asexual or aromantic ("Captain's Holiday," "The Perfect Mate," et al), we know for a fact that he yearns for love and a family (GEN), and we know for a fact that there's nothing stopping Starfleet command officers from maintaining successful relationships (Sisko, every married Starfleet officer we ever meet) -- and yet when we meet Jean-Luc in "Encounter at Farpoint," he's a 59-year-old bachelor who's afraid to be around children. He spends fifteen years jerking Beverly around, giving her mixed signals but never getting up the courage to actually start a relationship. Every relationship we do see him enter is either a casual relationship that he terminates when it appears it might become series, or he terminates when he realizes the consequences of being in a serious relationship.
Jean-Luc Picard has always had an unexplained fear of intimacy, and Star Trek: Picard's second season is the first time his fear of intimacy has ever been explained. The suicide of Yvette Picard profoundly impacted him his entire life.
That is not a contradiction. Shockingly, families can have multiple issues.
Oofff...bulls are color blind. They will chase anything that moves. Stereotype is wrong here.
Exactly so. When someone can prove damage I'll maybe take it seriously.
Go ahead. I'll wait.
Since when?
And the whole reason they included that line about imagining her as an old woman was to make it so Picard seeing her in Where None Have Gone Before as an old woman did not conflict with her dying young.
They pretty much described that scene exactly.

I mean, I think it also serves the dual purpose of dramatizing how long-lasting his grief has been. The line resonated a lot with me entirely separately from the question of that scene from "No One."
You really should watch - really watch, not skip through or skim - the show. Things will make a lot more sense to you. And as was was already mentioned, it's common knowledge that bulls are colourblind.
I mean, they did it because Trekkies are insane that way. But I felt it was a nice retcon.
She simply summarized in a shortened way so Barclay would understand that the gene that regulates that specific T-cell function or differentiation, like a transcription factor or co-factor, was mutated.
Nerd. 
I find myself hoping somebody clears out the bodies of the Spearhead soldiers beamed into the walls of the chateau before the Picards move back in.

They add 'character' to the place.
It's an original Victor van Ghoul.Probably not.

I wonder how come there wasn't an explosion when the soldiers were beamed into the wall. What happened to the matter that was originally in that space?
