I feel kinda vindicated now because people used to dismiss me when I talked about how unusually rattled Jean-Luc is when he imagines his mother in that corridor. Call it instinct of some kind.
And this isn’t the only JLP scene where I always felt there was more to it. I’m kinda pleased now that this will probably give quite a few people an incentive to maybe look at Jean-Luc the way I do - as a guy who is more than just a seemingly stoic and stern starship captain, and also a guy who is hiding a LOT of emotional pain behind that captain’s mask.
I can only say that those who write in all that new stuff about Jean-Luc as a character do know what they’re doing. I may not agree with all their creative choices (such as seemingly ignoring “Inner Light”) but they definitely get the basics right.
