Description of image: Meme image. I can’t believe he didn’t cry during Titanic! Do men even have feelings? The man is crying at Picard crying in the mud.

    Sci-fi shows have moments that weirdly hit really hard.

    This scene is one for me.

    In Stargate Atlantis when Dr McKay loses his memory in a similar way to alzheimers, I lost my shit.

    Warehouse 13 s3e11. running up that hill plays quietly in the background

    Sliders has several. Eureka, Farscape, quantum leap, futurama, Battlestar Galactica, firefly, fringe, the list goes on…

    Still blows my mind that Roddenberry hated the script for “Family” and wanted it thrown away. Like it’s great that humanity has evolved past most interpersonal conflict. Picard has PTSD as he should for what he went through. Same reason for his perspective in “I, Borg” and “First Contact.” He is damaged. His scene with Sisko in “The Emissary” is so great because Picard feels like he deserves Sisko’s animosity. “Family” is one of my favorite episodes. Right up there with “Duet” and “It’s only a paper moon” for showing the emotional cost of war.
