She ghosted them,
Oh, wait it’s Bev.
So that means something else.
Well, she did kind of F Jean-Luc over with this.

Beverly Crusher: "Jean-Luc...he's not yours...after you left I found this Candle and..."
Jean-Luc Picard: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Jean-Luc Picard: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Raffi: So you're the Worf who beamed the Sword of Kahless into space? Do you have any idea how many young Klingons have died in the cold of space on the great bat'leth hunt because of you?
Worf: No comment.
Raffi: And I heard you could've been Chancellor of the Klingon Empire and you turned it down! Do you have any idea how much better the galaxy would've been if you'd been Chancellor instead of Chancellor One Eye Moody?
Worf: No comment.
Raffi: And all the Klingons I talked with say the only thing you're good for is killing Klingon politicians once they get on your nerves. Duras, Gowron, I'm probably missing a few...
Worf: Not just Klingon politicians.

RAFFI: "Don't you have a son? Where...where is he now?"
WORF: "You are now on your own in this mission! Its success or failure is now entirely upon YOUR head!"

It is entirely plausible that he is a changeling but I’d be really annoyed if he was. It would be such lazy writing.
A couple of hours on the train from his kids school, transporters not withstanding. Literally the closest place he could be to London (which is apparently now definitely the real home of both Picards and Trois) without being in the same country.
I know the idea that Picard is French was always a bit tenuous since he was being played by one of the most British men to ever exist, but Beverley explaining the similar accent as Jack attending school in London kinda annoyed me. Are we just retconning Picard to actually be British now?
They pretty much already did that when Picard explained his family history in PICARD Season 2. That ship has sailed.
You don't think Picard would have a target on his back? The same Picard that had two former Tal Shiar agents as bodyguards when the show opened and weapons hidden all over his living room? And don't forget the security system that went off on Soji showed up at his place.
All that proves is that there probably are fewer safer places to be than Chateau Picard for Jack to live. Certainly not the Eleos.
I really didn’t care for them retconning his birthplace but I didn’t realise they’d moved to Lebarre from England.
Putting this out just to say it, I don't know if you already know this so I'll say it anyway: I don't think you're one of those people. Otherwise, I wouldn't have stuck up for you earlier.
Fair enough. I don't watch Lower Decks, even though I'm paying for Paramount+ but I do like SNW and enjoy Prodigy. So we have that common ground it seems.
Agreed.
It's an interesting perspective but I suppose I see the point. To me, one show is worth the money so I don't feel any need to watch more than my personal interest. And my time is far more limited so 10 hours is an investment.
To me the Picard accent was always a non-diegetic issue, like sound effects in space. With the nonsense of the universal translator and its sometimes selective translating, he could be speaking fluid French half the time.
I mean, no one much fixates on Worf speaking English with an American accent despite being raised by Belarusian parents who speak with a Slavic accent.

I think Picard gets it more because he is so adamant in the first couple of seasons about being French and the French language being a sign of civilization and culture for a time on Earth.
A good episode. The best part? When they mentioned Picard and Beverly breaking off after Nemesis. FOR THE FIFTH TIME!!
My boy JLP was getting some of the BEV during Next Gen!!! Proud of him.

It's even worse in, say, Prodigy where Rok-tahk's real voice is a deep sounding monstrous one yet the universal translator arbritrarily chose to give her a high pitched young girl's voice instead of just translating her dialogue as her genuine deep sounding monstrous voice.
