I think it's just regular dyslexia.
But I like the idea that maybe he couldn't read what was on the pad for that reason.
Colm went home, and costarred in a blockbuster movie, briefly becoming more real world famous than any one else on the cast except Wheaton and Burton.
If not for "the Commitments" nothing would have become of Chief O'Brien.
Did they? I don't remember that. Was his Red Angel crazy exacerbated by his dyslexia? Or was he able to survive it longer because of his dyslexia?
Thinking back on the episode, I understand what they were trying to say.
Over the past few months, I have experienced the loss of my mother to cancer, and I have had to adopt our cats out so they could have a better future than the one I could give them. The memories of them are evanescent; however, the emotions that I felt for them were strong and this is what I remember most about them, what they gave me emotionally.
The problem lay with the story. I grew bored by it and jumped ahead to the end to see the conclusion.

That's fair. My brain can't get over the nitpicks that I have with the episode, so the message and the resolution is a miss for me. Meanwhile this episode with the old man remembering the grief of his family dying and realizing that it's better to have those memories than not? Simple but effective, but I think the episode, like the last one, didn't really need the nearly 1 hour run time.
I guess with Picard S3 you could just watch the final episode because that's all anyone really wants out of that show anyway. But I didn't like that finale at all, so even then I wouldn't want to revisit it.
It felt like a TOS episode. It was alright. It didn't grip me like the previous three, but it was solid enough.
7/10.
7/10.
Plus, kind of weird to try and compare an opening credits regular with someone who was a bit player for a huge chunk of their time on TNG.
If we're talking about main character ship pilots who get very little fleshing out, Travis is right there.
Travis is right there.
Were? Were? I don't see him!
who?Travis is right there.
You can't have tinnitus without ShatKirk!
This is all I need to tell me the episode wasn't "that bad."

Yawn.
This is tangential, and I know I'm basically answering my own question since it's arguably a function of Star Trek being an American produced show with a mostly English-speaking audience ... BUT ... I've always been curious how in-universe English became "standard" not only for Earth but across the Federation.
If aliens showed up today and surveyed Earth, the attempt to communicate with us might be in Mandarin, since it's the most spoken first language on the planet. English and French being the languages for scientific journals, air travel, the United Nations and other official functions today is due to the influence of the British Empire, the United States, and the allied victors of World War II at the time those decisions were made.
But by the 22nd century, when United Earth becomes a thing, one would think that a significant part of Asia and Africa might necessitate moving beyond just English and French. Unless World War III was far more devastating for the "Eastern Coalition" and significant parts of Asia were destroyed? Although, Picard and his family are French and are the most English French people ever depicted in a television show, so maybe in the Star Trek universe the English language conquered all of the other languages lol.
that was his original proposition, but Una ordered him to keep the ship close to the planet. I did suspect it would make things worse, however by then everyone was obviously not thinking straight already.
Felt like one of those very "meh" old Star Trek episodes that despite enjoying as I watched I will probably have completely forgotten next week.
Wasn't a fan of the Yeoman Kurtz plot either. But too cliche.

true. However, as I pointed out elsewhere years ago, nothing forbids his body to be restored afterwards. He knows nothing of what happens after the accident and we know nothing of what happens after his return to Talos IV.
Again, saw what you did there
A few things would have made it a bit better for me, Ortegas wearing the Hat on the bridge, showing her displeasure at being kicked off the away team, with her telling Una, just let me have this for abit.
As someone said before, have Pelia tell Pike, Have fun storming the castle!
Rest was good, they need to work on the use of "Vollume" a bit better, could tell they were on there, Mandalorian gets to a point where you can't tell your on it. But, lots better than potted plants and cardboard for a planet!
