Picard's Perfect Mate
- Thread starter Vasquez Rocks
- Start date
Thank you. I keep a Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary on my desk for writing and the definition for the term mate was essentially the same. However, the online dictionary was more convenient for an online discussion such as this. TheFreeDictionary's general English dictionary main source is the American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition.

You fail to mention in your post any significant differences in definition from those other sources.
Warmest Wishes,
Whoa Nellie
No WN, what I said was: "I don't think it assists your essential argument, but then again, this is all a matter of opinion. But at least no one can doubt which corner you are fighting for - good for you."
I don't need to rely upon your limited dictionary definitions to support my argument. That was the essential message of my post to you. That you feel the need to do so is "reaching" but as I said "to each her own."
BTW, like the stories, but I'm not willing - as you appear to be - to twist canon so as it ends up mirroring one's own preferred universe (especially as WN's preferred universe is quite nicely flourishing).
Vash
Picard really doesn't suit Beverly IMO. Vash does. Beverly works better as a friend with a certain amount of passed regrets.
I guess that explains the pro wrestler named Kamala - he was a stereotype of a savage tribesman, who wore a skirt and freaky paint all over his face and upper body.
OMG! Now those were the days, when you had the most horrific stereotypes promoted in the WWF. Way off topic, I know. -- RR

I guess the savage beast has been soothed.

Captain
Picard was a necrophiliac?
Ok, it's 2:45am, I'm sleepless (who knows why...) and now almost falling off the chair laughing. How could I've missed such a pearl so long, I don't know!!!
Tough call... it's to Patrick Stewart's credit that he was able to have pretty good chemistry with just about all of those women (though not necessarily in a romantic way for some).
Beverly -- I think they made great friends, and there was definitely an undercurrent of attraction there. I wouldn't have minded if they became a couple by the last time we saw them, but at the same time, I'm kind of glad they resisted that idea. I kind of like that they are friends, and always will be (which is why I'm irked that they cut their goodbye scene from the end of Nemesis... One of the many things done wrong in that movie).
Vash -- I liked the two of them together; it was definitely a case of opposites attracting, and I think it worked quite well. I feel that she probably wouldn't be an ideal choice for his life partner though -- she's just too different (i.e. reckless and criminal) for that. I believe Vash works best as a recurring fling... a friend with benefits, if you will.
Phillipa Louvois -- Picard had chemistry with her too. I liked their banter, and the implied history between the two of them was intriguing. She performed her duty well, was tough but fair, and seemed to have a good head on her shoulders, which I think makes her a good match for Picard. It was too bad we only saw her once, but I think she made a fairly strong impression regardless, so I'm going to vote for her.
Others might work too: Picard's relationship with Neela Darren was interesting and mostly believable, I can see how Anij would appeal to his thoughtful side... and I'm probably one of the few fans that didn't even mind his relationship with Jenice Manheim.
In the end, though, I'm sticking with Phillipa Louvois.

It's always been Beverly!
Bev. They are both Starfleet to the core.
I vote for Beverly Crusher any day. The other women might have been in love with picard, or very attracted to him (and vica versa); but they were all based on lust and passion; Crusher and Picard have been friends for so long; if anyone could connect in the long term it would be them.
