I love when people try and disparage a show and then try and cite a plot point but get major details wrong.
It's almost as if they never actually watched the thing they're complaining about.

Don't you mean aging Gen X? That's our show. Millennials had "One Tree Hill."
I don't like PIC Season 2 (and that's putting it mildly) but Picard in Season 1 of TNG doesn't think his mother is alive. A vision of an elderly version of his mother appears in an Enterprise-D corridor thanks to Kosinski's warp field experiments and Picard believes he's talking to his long-dead mother.
Yes, she appears elderly in TNG, but she was already dead and later retconned to have her son imagining what she'd have looked like had she lived to old age. PIC Season 2 committed numerous sins, but this wasn't one of them.

Didn't get it wrong. I watched the entire season.
It was clear from picard season 2 that he had buried the memory of hks mother dying young by suicide. In TNG he clearly recognized the old woman as his mother. Its a huge plot hole. The writers dont care about continuity. Bad writing.

Because he imagined how she aged.
No plot hole. Bad writing with Q but not that. And I strongly disliked Picard Season 2.
I've read your posts and seen those shows, So I'm gonna say nope to your version of Trek.
I am preemptively feeling bad for the Moderators of this particular forum and other Star Trek websites.
Come Jan 15 the entire thing is gonna blow up with the power of a thousand quantum torpedoes.

It will be the usual nonsense from the usual cast of clowns.
Yuuuuup. Picard's second season was utter dogshit for a lot of reasons, but this particular aspect was not one of them.
Imagine trying to be happy with being a fan.
Did you though?
Explicitly stated he frequently imagined her getting old and having cups of tea with her and then he saw her when his thoughts turned real. His imagination which he would obviously recognise.
She wasn't real in the scene in TNG so no it isn't.
Bad analysis.
So, just another day.
New to Trek fandom I assume?
(This has been the pattern since TAS premiered on NBC on Saturday morning on NBC in 1973. And I know because I was there.
)
Yeah, probably not.
No more than any other Trek series premiere in the last 38 years.
I'll know more when I see the episode.
that new clip looks like a Trek show to me. I have no idea what people are complaining about.
I nearly shat myself when the captain said "get to the kids" and the Jem'Hadar character just instantly vanished. My friend has informed me that's a Discovery thing and they just teleport around the ship in emergencies now instead of walking.
I couldn't stick Discovery out and I forget if I ever got far enough to see that myself, but I like it a lot, it's something I always wish they did in the older shows. GOOD JOB, DISCOVERY
