As long as he looks like Picard, back into the chair he goes. But if he doesn't, Beverly is threatening to relieve him if he doesn't step aside.
General Trek Questions and Observations

TNG got it right at least once.
In 'Family' the consequences of Picard being assimilated by the Borg were in the center of the story.
Being a huge fan of the tv show Benson. I thought I share this link for those who aren't aware of Benson's connection to Star Trek. https://benson.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Trek
Because why wouldn't he be?
Assuming some woman held him down long enough.
There's also a connection between Star Trek and Team Knight Rider.
Getting back to the mortality issue, I suspect that most of the "natural death is good, unnatural death is bad" trope that Trek sticks to seems to focus on a life well lived. I wonder how it plays with a life not well lived. For instance, what if one of the people zapped in "Rascals" had had regrets about how they had lived their lives... and suddenly, they get the chance to load a past save. Might they have taken it?
In a story series I wrote (not on this site and not in this fandom), I actually explored that concept a few times.

Watching Perry Mason and I came upon Madlyn Rhue in the episode "The Case of the Wayward Wife". Interestingly, she's also a painter in this episode, although not of portraits. Did the actress like to paint, too?
Yeah, she did.

Rhue also was a talented artist whose paintings have been exhibited in galleries across the country.

If I could be young again with everything I know now? I'd do it in a nanosecond!
But immortality? Only worth it if the people I love are with me, like Lazarus Long.

I remember when I was running among the Potterheads, we had a parallel phenom in the "Twilight" books. I only read the first one, mainly to piss off another board member whose endless disparaging remarks about the series were getting really old, but I did know how they ended... don't read this last if you think you'll ever be interested in reading them.
I actually rather admire Stephanie Meyer for being willing to buck the trend, and have her main character wind up living as an immortal.
"Time Enough for Love" is among my favorite books. I have a signed hardcover.
1701D: Due to battles, etc., what is the most dangerous deck to be on. I'm thinking deck 5 gets hit very often and and loses life support of opened to vacuum.
Mark down air tight doors along with circuit breakers as things the future forgets.
Just seeing this guy (not having seen the show):
reminds me of this guy:
Beyond the whole "bird person with glasses" thing.

I am deeply jealous!
After rewatching "Lifesigns", I'm wondering why this episode didn't represent the end of the whole "the doctor doesn't have a name" thing. I mean, he was given a name by someone he not only deeply cared for, but had triggered a huge step in his evolution from hologram to man. IMO, nothing would have made more sense than for him to honor the memory of that relationship by going by that name from then on.

You have a perfectly valid point. However episodic TV demands that every episode be aired in any order. Ergo he would have a name this week and not next week etc.. A case of good story telling taking aback seat to TV.
