P/C: our thread is eternal

Naturally I'm quoting Greer Garson in The Marie Curie Story.




Isn't it obvious?

:devil:

Not to me...then again, I have no idea what any of the things you said are.
 
I just saw "Evolution" for the first time since the 90's. Dr. Crusher was just adorable in that ep. I also liked that she went to Picard, as she would later in the series, when she had questions about Wesley.
 
Yes! I just love the last scene with Guinan when Beverly is coming to terms with Wesley and his new girlfriend, saying all the right things and then in the next breath its "so what do you know about this girl?" She really acted like a mum... it was very well done.

I love how awkward Picard is too.. I think with both her questions about Wesley and the intimacy of the situation..he just is not comfortable with dealing with her on such a personal level, but he tries anyway, personally I love that stage of the whole P/C thing! It's always interesting to watch 'the dance' between them.
 
^Hm...that's a difference of interpretation there. You may be right, but I felt more like he didn't want to deal with "the boy" on a personal level, or even talk about him in that way.

Edit: Addendum: Picard and Wesley may have had the time they shared in "The Samaritan Snare," but there was still plenty of awkwardness between them, especially where Jack was concerned, in "The Bonding," which directly followed "Evolution." Picard was relating Wesley to Jack in the "Evolution" scene. He must have been doing so to himself if he said so to Beverly after only the slightest prompt.

However, I do think, now that rosyrock has mentioned it, that Picard might have had some awkwardness being personal with Beverly at that point. As Crusher herself would later say in "Lessons," Picard is "...a private person, but not isolated." She may have reached a little too far toward that privacy a little too soon, just being the warm person that she is.
 
I assume Picard fumbled for answers to the barrage of Wesley questions because he'd offloaded the responsibility onto Riker and had little idea about the details of her boy's life. "He's his father son" was a devastatingly sweeping answer to get her to shut up. We are still dealing with the Picard who wasn't good with children at this point. He had not been acting as pseudo parent in Bev's absence even if she was asking him questions that assumed he had been.
 
^Trustingly naive of her.

Little did she know Picard had delegated the boy off around the bridge crew before the end of Pulaski's first episode.
 
Hello! Names Brittaney. I thought I'd pop in and say that I love P/C and I hope I'll get to chat with you people more in the future. :)
 
Welcome Brittaney!

Woohoo! Another P/Cer!

Beware of the P'ers (the members of the board who like Picard), the V/Pers (Vash/Picard) and the PQers (Picard/Q)
