I'm aware it was a hoodwinking but it should never be broached.
Picard not liking and not wanting children is a good character trait and it's a disservice to the character to try and undo that in my opinion.

Well the point you conveyed was you were "bugged" by it due to the incorrect belief you thought you inherited from the mother. And I explained that's incorrect, and my experience of certainly not following that pattern in line with your experience and the misconception.
If your point was that it's an attempt at humour... well yes... I agree it is.
Worth noting, it was written by someone with only two TNG credits. Their other one was Attached.
Eww
Nicholas Sagan (the son of Carl Sagan) was also story editor on Voyager's fifth season, writing "In the Flesh" and co-writing "Gravity," "Course: Oblivion," "Juggernaut," and "Relativity" -- a mix of excellent and weaker episodes. Of course, no television episode is written exclusively by one person; the entire writers' room breaks (develops) the plot collaboratively, then one or more writers get assigned to write an outline or script draft, then it's revised collaboratively and the showrunner writes the final draft.
Your statement is a 100% lie. Viruses never travel alone, always in water vapor droplets which are the size of beachballs to the mask. Do not post this again.
"good" as in "fitting for the character" or "good" as in "morally correct"?
They clearly meant the former, backed up by saying it was a disservice to the character to "undo that"
Good thing Jason wasn't a child during the story in question, then?
A person can not want the responsibility and burdens of raising kids, but still be open to the idea of adding adults to one's family.Anyhow, I recently watched the ep and quite liked it. Here's my review:
Picard S3 wasn't the first time a Trek series featured a final-season encounter between Ol' Baldy and a twenty-something son (played by an actor in his 30s) with an attitude and a rap sheet, the product of a long-ago romance, who is now being pursued by a vengeance-driven enemy from his own past, that he didn't previously know he had. No, before there was Jack Crusher Jr., there was Jason Vigo, in "Bloodlines." As with Picard S3, there's even a joke about Baldy's hair, though this time, it's the old man himself who fires the zinger.
The episode, written by Nick Sagan (yes, son of that Sagan), has a very nicely written and acted scene of Picard and the young man starting to bond. It ultimately chickens out, however, in revealing that Jason Vigo was merely unknowingly genetically tampered with into appearing to be Picard's genetic son. (Even with 24th-century tech, how does that work?! It's also wildly implausible, given all their prior feats of engineering, that Geordi and Data aren't able to prevent the Ferengi villain from snatching Jason off the Enterprise via subspace beaming.) I'm tempted to call this reversal a shame, but it does set up a nicely played and heartfelt scene in which Picard bids Jason farewell, and they share an unspoken acknowledgement that, for a brief moment, they'd started to make a profound connection, which, through no fault or either, the subsequently discovered truth all but extinguished.
Picard and Vigo have a fraction of the screen time later shared by Picard and Jack Crusher, but the dramatic results are pretty much equal. Between "Bloodlines" and Picard S3, therefore, I prefer the earlier, quieter, and much shorter story.
Episode Grade: B
Nailed it!
There is no lie. Not everything is large droplets. Viruses are also present in aerosols or if you like "droplet nuclei". This was admitted by WHO.

The very article you linked to recommends wearing masks to prevent transmission. Your argument is still false. No more, please.There is no lie. Not everything is large droplets. Viruses are also present in aerosols or if you like "droplet nuclei". This was admitted by WHO.

I did find the recasting a bit off-putting, but I think Lee Arenberg was more effective at playing a menacing, vengeful Ferengi than Frank Corsentino was. And his previous appearance as Prak in "Force of Nature" was 13 episodes earlier.
I just find it a little bit trite when parenthood is treated as this automatically wonderful when Picard should have been apathetic to the notion, even irritated.Good thing Jason wasn't a child during the story in question, then?
He was initially ambivalent about the prospect of having a (biological, at least) son with a rap sheet and no clear life ambitions. It didn't strike him as an "automatically wonderful" situation at all, but he decided to try to get to know Jason out of respect for his mother as well as his own familial pride, and while he clearly didn't become fond enough of Jason to keep in close touch once the story was over, he did start to see him as a decent and likable chap, and would have been interested in an ongoing mentorship role if he had indeed been his biological son.
Did ya see the episode?
I meant that more as a general statement, as soon as Beverly gives him confirmation of Jack's parentage he cries.
