Ok. Are we gonna discuss last night’s Picard debut??! Barely 3 minutes into the first episode Jean-Luc Picard says in that forceful Patrick Stewart way:
“Let’s behave like civilized men.”
And then pours a cup of tea before he gets a response.
Tea out the gate. Fresh!
I have other feelings but man to see Picard armed with that tea again…after all these years, after all the things we’ve done, after all the things we’ve seen. I believe a slow tear escaped my left eye and smoothly rolled down the side of face.
Though that first scene even with seeing the Enterprise and Data viewers were instantly cued it was a dream with my man putting milk and sugar in his tea. NO!
That’s what I do: that’s a Sammy tea. You have your own tea, Picard. Which is now decaf? Yo. The replicator should ignore his order every single time and just gave him regular tea, earl grey hot. Why not? Other people were rude to Picard; treating him like a kind grandfather suffering from dementia.
Nah man…that’s a lack of respect I cannot abide by. “Let’s behave like civilized men.”
