Spoilers The connection between "The Inner Light", AGT and Picard

Read an interesting theory that Picard developing the iromodic syndrome, first in the AGT timeline and now in Picard, may have been caused by the kataanian probe in "The Inner Light".

Makes a lot of sense imo.

 

Fanfiction does not make for a good connection

 

I thought he had a genetic defect and that was the source.

 

As of right now that’s the official story

 

It would add a dark twist to the Inner Light that I think does not really improve the story.

 

He may have had a genetic disposition for getting the iromodic syndrome or a similar desease, but the encounter with the probe may have triggered something in his brain which could have lead to his getting the syndrome.

Without encountering the kataanian probe maybe he wouldn't have gotten the illness.

 

By the way, the main theme of the show is a version of Batai's song from that episode...

To be honest I'd be fine with inner light never bring mentioned again.

 

Unless it's the Beatles.

 

Which I first saw someone mention here, so I think it was discovered by one of us!
The video showing Batai playing it in Inner Light came from a Facebook discussion where people still thought we mean the more prominent Inner Light Theme that Picard played several times.

 

I hope there’s none. That bloody flute episode needs to be forgotten.
