I’ve rewatched “Suddenly Human” (Star Trek: The Next Generation, season 4, episode 4) and no, it’s not another episode about Data, as you could have thought, judging by the title. It’s an episode about a human boy raised by an alien race, humanoid, of course, but still quite different from Earth inhabitants. (Spoilers!) Enterprise stumbles upon a destroyed alien ship and saves the survivals. Among them, doctor Crusher finds a human teenager, who claims that he’s Talarian and therefore is to be returned to his captain. Enterprise crew finds out that he’s a son of two officers, who were killed by Talarians many years ago. They are afraid that he was abused by his “comrades” and captain and want to return him to his grandmother. The Talarian captain arrives, speaks to captain Picard (who finds out, that he wasn’t brutalizing the boy) and meets the boy. Picard still tries to create some kind of bond and understand the boy better, talk to him, plays Racquetball, takes him to “Ten Forward” to meet Wesley. It all ends up with the boy attacking captain at night, not killing him, but supposing that he’s now to be executed. Picard finds out that the boy still wants to return to his father (the Talarian captain) and finally returns him. An interesting episode about found family.
I’ve rewatched “Family” (Star Trek: The Next Generation, season 4, episode 2). You don’t expect your Star Trek right after two creepy Borg episodes to be so sweet, but it is because it corresponds with the title directly: it’s about Worf’s parents, Picard’s brother and Wesley’s father. Enterprise is being repaired on Earth, so Worf’s parents came on the ship to visit. They are… unusual – they are called Sergey and Elena Rozhenko, they come from Earth Station Bobruisk (just so that you know, Bobruisk is a real city in Belarus) and they have a strong Russian accent (Chekov-nostalgia). They are also very sweet and tell Worf that they are going to love and support him during his Klingon problems they don’t understand. Wesley receives a holo-message from his father which was recorded when Wesley was only a few weeks old. Captain’s story is the most interesting – he came to Earth to his home-village where his brother with his wife and son live now and holds the family business – winery. Jean-Luc and his brother don’t get along well, Picard’s old friend offers him a good place at some big and interesting marine project and Picard catches himself thinking of it. Then he fights his brother (literally fights in the mud), they get drunk together and he feels better. A very good episode.
I’ve rewatched “Final Mission” (Star Trek: The Next Generation, season 4, episode 9). It’s one of the episodes in which we see Jean-Luc and Wesley bonding. Ensign Crusher sees a father figure in his captain and they both are afraid to cross boundaries but slowly and steadily grow closer to each other. (Spoilers!) Here they crush on a deserted planet with an impulsive “captain” of a mining shuttle, try finding water and shelter. Because of the “captain”, our captain (oh god, I’ve just called Jean-Luc Picard “our captain”…) gets injured, so Welsey has to manage the situation himself. Well, he manages to some point – the “captain” dies, but ensign gets to the water and saves Picard. By the way, the episode is called “Final Mission”, because Wesley is leaving to the academy and Jena-Luc says that he envies him and that he has to meet his friend – Boothby – a groundkeeper.
Ooookkkk I just got to watch the Picard episode! I CALLED IT!!! FUCKING HELL I SAID WESLEY WOULD SHOW AS A TRAVELER!! When he came into view ohhh I freaked it was so awesome that it came true & the scene was so! Perfect! Ahhhh Q!! Guinin!! Ohhhh I’m so exhausted now cuz I got so excited! Q told Picard not to die alone! HELLO WE ALL KNOW WHO IT BETTER BE RIGHT? BEVERLY CRUSHER WHERE ARE YOU? I’m exhausted after watching the episode! So very much happens…I count myself so satisfied with this season ender!
(Note: The audio I got is too low in volume, I recomend turning it up to be able to hear it)
(Note 2: I WROTE “THING” INSTEAD OF “THINGS” AT THE END ON THE CAPTIONS AM STUPID)
After HOURS of work, here it is: My first animatic ever
And it’s a meme
I was enlightened with this epic idea and I wanted to share it so bad I got the guts to finally make an animatic. Thought this scene from Spiderman: Homecoming was rlly fitting for these two, and created this. Will and Steve are basically the same brand of man, and so are Wesley and Peter
Hours of switching programs, understanding Krita, and downloading complicated programs to make a 9 second video. Worth it tbh
