- Hilarious scene in "Menage a Troi" where Picard challenges Tog for possession of Lwaxana Troi
Sonnets used
#147 - My love is as a fever, longing still
For that which longer nurseth the disease;
Feeding on that which doth preserve the ill,
The uncertain sickly appetite to please.
My reason, the physician to my love,
Angry that his prescriptions are not kept,
Hath left me, and I desperate now approve,
Desire his death, which physic did except.
Past cure I am, now reason is past care,
And frantic-mad with evermore unrest;
My thoughts and my discourse as madmen's are,
At random from the truth vainly express'd;
For I have sworn thee fair, and thought thee bright,
Who art as black as hell, as dark as night.
#141 - In faith, I do not love thee with mine eyes,
For they in thee a thousand errors note;
But 'tis my heart that loves what they despise,
Who in despite of view is pleased to dote;
Nor are mine ears with thy tongue's tune delighted,
Nor tender feeling, to base touches prone,
Nor taste, nor smell, desire to be invited
To any sensual feast with thee alone:
But my five wits nor my five senses can
Dissuade one foolish heart from serving thee,
Who leaves unsway'd the likeness of a man,
Thy proud hearts slave and vassal wretch to be:
Only my plague thus far I count my gain,
That she that makes me sin awards me pain.
#18 - Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee. - บันเทิง
Well what do you know, a shakespearean actor pretending to be a captain pretending to be a shakespearean actor.... :o
+TtheWriter Method acting at its finest.
a master actor!!
lmao
+Daniel Cannata No doubt.
+TtheWriter
He's a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude.
Indeed. And certainly one of the best.
"Mr. Crusher set a course for Betazed......Warp 9...."
+KasaiWolf07 LMAO
Mr. Crusher smug smile was the second best thing on this part...only the "Warp 9" inflexion was better...
an galaxyclass starship does not posses an transwarp drive :) "nerdmode off"
KasaiWolf07 when she says shes on her home planet alone
_your comment_
There are Klingons. Romulans. Borg. Sheliak. Q. Trials. Neural Parasites.
And then there is Lwaxana Troi.
I hope I'm not the only one who can never unhear Picard delivering the sonnet to the tune of the Picard Song.
Trust me, you're not the only one. 😀
You’ll have to call again!
Rest assured you are not.
*Captain*
*Jean-Luc Picard*
*U S S E N T E R P R I S E*
Now it's hard to unhear it to the tune of Picard & Data
Only two things terrify Jean-Luc...
The Borg and Dianna's mother....
The Borg a distance second.
@@samfowler2073 If it came between dealing with Lwaxana Troi and Q, Picard would happily take the fingersnaps.
Someone should have just helped her out for 1 night
Getting assimilated by the Borg was almost as bad as having to do this.
@@timfortune9
Thanos = Q???
"You can't keep killing all my lovers" -- haha, the writing here is so perfect!
Thinking back at how she prompts Picard and he plays along, makes me think of the show What's My Line.
Such great script writing and acting is 1 in a thousand.
Imagine actually witnessing your Captain blurt out an improvised Shakespearean monologue just to rescue the mother of your ship's guidance counselor.
Randomness at its finest!
Imagine being worf, getting all hyped and then not getting to finish....
Well, Sir Patrick Stewart originally was a Shakespearian actor IRL.
I like the background crew just not reacting to it at all. It's like that's not even the craziest thing they had seen that day.
😂😂😂
I can just imagine the producer taking Sir Patrick aside before shooting this scene and telling him, "You remember what they probably taught you in your acting training, about NOT overacting, and NOT hamming things up? For this next scene, we want you to forget ALL of that, and give it *everything* you've got."
He did, and by GOD was it entertaining to watch.
They probably told him to go for the Shatner.
I'm beting doing shakespeare was a cakewalk for him It's his background afterall.
his blend of hamming it up plus seriousness was fantastic. when he switches to hammy shakespeare to serious countdown is brilliant.
Overacting is rarely an issue in theatre.
Actually, Stewart was originally trained as a stage actor before entering TV. His training was to 'act.' As opposed to what TV tells people 'don't act, we'll add all drama post-production.'
Crusher: If we travel at warp 9 our arrival time will be 12 minutes
Picard: Geordi, we need to get the ship to warp 9.975, divert power from life support if you must.
jajajajajajajjajjaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Geordi:"You know, if we cut life support from all decks I *coukd* pulls out warp 9.9975. We *might* have enough breathable air to survive the trip."
*Picard thinks long and hard on risking the lives of everyone*
@@curtisberard7831 after 2 seconds..."Very well. Mr Crusher, Engage at maximum warp." "Some of you red shirts may die, but its a risk I am willing to take"
@@curtisberard7831 ...just to answer with a "Make it so"
@@twoeightythreez Usually in TNG it's the yellow shirts that die. The red shirt of death was a TOS thing
I love how Frakes is desperately trying to not break character.
I think he actually corpses at 0:59, though that laugh could also be in character
@@MichaelFreckelton Especially in early seasons Riker always looked like he was on the verge of cracking up and I could never tell if that was Riker or Frakes
@@bladerunner12 according to some of the behind the scenes, they ALL acted like 10 year old children who just drank some Jolt cola as soon as the cameras were off.
Just goofing off, laughing, then pulling on their game faces for the time it took to shoot a scene. Delightful bunch, by all accounts.
Oh no. It would be in character for anyone except worf or data to struggle to keep from laughing.
How could he not, Stewart is hamming it up so much. They both were classically trained, so Frakes would have heard this 1000 times... done seriously.
1:00 the face that launched 1,000 memes.
Bro! You just posted cringe! You are going to loose subscriber!
I want a parody of this scene in Lower Decks season 3 or in a future season
Just the way Picard mutters to Crusher.. "Warp Nine", has me in stitches.
You can tell he'd be asking for warp 18 if his ship could handle it.
Im surprised he didny say "Maximum warp"
"Mr. Crusher, if you can get this ship up to Warp 10, now would be a good time."
@@AmySox "I can sir, but then we'll all turn into salamanders."
It was basically. Mr. Crusher ... get us the fuck out of here.
Picard: "Mr. Crusher, set course for Betazed. Warp nine."
Wesley: **laughs**
Picard: "Shut up, Wesley."
I love this comment too much.
After he said "War p nine" he should have waited five seconds and then leaned in toward Wesley and muttered "point three". lol
"Wesley, if you can push it to warp ten...DO IT!" 😂
Geordi:"If we cut life support on all decks I coukd get you warp 9.9975. We *might* have enough breathable air to get to Betazed faster."
*Picard thinks long and hard about whether to risk the life of the crew*
Picard: give me back my waifu.
Ferengi: No.
Picard: *Worf! Kill everything that moves*
Worf: *satisfiyng klingon noises*
Picard: "Set a course for Betazed...warp 9."
Wesley: "Warp 9??? She'll fly apart!!!"
Picard: "FLY APART THEN!!!"
Anyone else get here from Pogo's "Data & Picard" video?
Yep!
Didn't expect him to take nearly everything of the sound from this clip.
Well I didn't expect this kind of Spanish inquisition!
*dramatic music*
NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!
talking in unbroken sentences moving from topic to topic so that no one had a chance to interrupt it was quite hypnotic.
That Shakespearean theater background came in handy for this scene. lol
Diggy22 A few other times in the show as well lol
It also helps that the character is an avid reader of Shakspear, in physical book form at that.
no kidding. Sonnet 147, to 141, to 18, as smoothly as if it were all 1 piece
In the beginning, Riker's probably thinking "Oh this should be good. Maybe I should have the computer replicate me some popcorn!"
It will taste like shit, but why not?
3:15 "Warp 9" hahahahahaha at Wesley laughing at the Capitan. And I love how Lwaxana can just sit on the capitan's chair like she owns the thing hahahahaha
You have no idea how many times I played that back and laughed.
Could you imagine the outtakes of this scene?
1:00 the scene that started a generation of memes.
Lol
yeah i can't wait for the next generation of star trek memes
Classic stuff
I always wondered what episode that came from. Now I know why I was clueless, I avoided Lwaxana and Ferengi episodes like the plague on TNG.
"How the fuck...."
Frakes trying not to break character and Dorn’s expression clearly conveys “what the hell??”
Can we all also agree that Majel Barrett Roddenberry was underrated and perhaps underappreciated as as actress?? Throughout the run of this series, she created a complex, nuanced character in Lwaxana.
It's funny; as a child I disliked her character, but as an adult I saw her in an entirely different light.
It would seem the 10 year old me based my views around how Picard (a role model and father figure) reacted to her presence. Perhaps I was too young to truly understand her character, or maybe I just didn't have any interest in those boring grown-up relationship stories she was often a part of.
Re-watching the series now I see her for the much more complex character she really was. All that confidence, all that meddling, all that pomp and ceremony - it was all a mask. The real Lwaxana was much more vulnerable - still silently grieving over the loss of her first child, craving security to the point she was willing to marry _anyone_ who would have her, but also very wise and thoughtful - particularly when it came to understanding children. Seeing her provide a positive, supportive role model to Alexander juxtaposing Worf's more militaristic parenting style in _Cost of Living,_ or how she fought to save the life of Timicin in _Half A Life_ really showed off Barrett's abilities.
Her guest spots on DS9 were also wonderful
She was fantastic. This whole show was outstanding, especially compared to the crap we're being given today.
True. At first she annoyed me but with every episode I liked her more and more.
It was solely the writing at fault to be honest, I'm convinced Majel did her best in spite of it. In the end there are just a lot of lines that are outright nasty, underhanded or otherwise rude, especially in the very early episodes like Haven, but on the flipside there have been some real gems like her scene with Odo when they're stuck in the turbolift together.
That and her guest appearance on Babylon 5 was fantastic, which really shows how well she does when she has a consistently good script to work with.
Love this scene, an actor acting superbly as a star captain badly acting
Basically Stewart playing Shatner.
Lwaxana Troi is one of the best characters on the show. She starts off irritating us, but with more exposure and character development, we grow to adore her.
One of my favorite episodes is the one with Lwaxana showing Alexander how to live life.
+JanetStarChild its hilarious thats usually in peoples top 5 worst lists..the holosuite program is so painful, and anything involving alexander and worf is just cringeworthy..
but yeah, i'll agree shes fun in that episode, and on its own shes the most likable in that episode.
granted her cameo in DS9 was toned down and more well rounded, all the characters are more three-dimensional, well written and multi-faceted in DS9, the shittyer episodes are still way better than average TNG..but the best TNG's are still the best, only because Patrick Stewart is untouchable
JanetStarChild oh man I love that episode
My favorite Lwaxana story, though, is Peter David's novel "Q--in-law". Two of Trek's most annoying characters put together in hilarious fashion.
Her scenes with Odo in Deep Space Nine were very touching as well. Lwaxana may have been overbearing and irritating at times but she had a heart of gold.
My favorite female character by far
Watching this, you know that Mr Stewart had fun doing this scene.
They all did
Muzzly1234 you can see the smile on his face later in the scene
@@hoopsonwheels He almost cracked up in the middle of, "Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." I wonder how many takes they needed because of people losing it during the scene.
"Warp 9"
-funniest part
"Warp 9" (Get us there as fast as you fucking can Crusher)
As fast as you can, Crusher, and minimum troubles from the superiors of Starfleet. Just, minimize my troubles Crusher.
...please ... HURRY!!
Or when he was reciting poetry and then dead serious "9. 8..." Haha
"Pedal to the metal, Wesley!" 😂
Picard stumbling over his words is one of funniest things I’ve ever watched.
I like to imagine Picard violated some minor speed restriction for the enterprise at that time, and some admiral asked him about it, only to hear Lwaxana was onboard, and the admiral just dropping the whole case.
Not minor. Warp 9 and above is basically flank speed, like we need support for a battle get here yesterday speed.
It would be equivalent to an aircraft carrier outrunning her battle group and there had better be a damn good reason for it.
But the Admiral's reaction would probably be the sams
"Captain, you realize what a serious infraction this is?"
"Yes admiral, I-"
"What in blazes were you thinking, Picard? Approaching Betazed - a Federation member world - at Warp 9? _Combat speed?"_
"I understand the optics, admiral, but it was an emergency!"
"What emergency? System failure? Critical hull breach? _Subspace termites?"_
"Lwaxana Troi was onboard. We had to drop her off."
"…"
"…"
"…I'll tell the embassy, they'll understand."
"Thank you, admiral."
It would not surprise me if in canon that actually happened.
No, the speed restrictions didn't exist until season 7.
Love the WTF look Riker gives the captain once he realizes what Picard is doing
I just love the look on Riker's face. He's enjoying the hell out of this.
It's crazy to think someone paused this at the right moment and thus a meme was born.
which moment??
@@_sky_3123 Timestamp 1:00
My favorite part is how viciously he does the count.
"When I have plucked the rose, I cannot give it vital growth again. It's needs must wither! Nine."
TIS BETTER... TO HAVE LOVED... AND LOST... THAN TO HAVE NEVER... LOVED... AT ALLseven.
That subtle grin when Picard turns around is endlessly humorous.
My love is a fever
And the only prescription is more cowbell.
-William Shakespeare
F me... lol.. I spat my coffee all over my keyboard. That was so funny.
-Michael Scott
Data: wtf
Riker: is he serius
Dianna Troi: funniest thing ive ever seen from Picard
Worff: this is akward
Weasly: i love this ship
Picard: hope nobody will remember this
Meme creators: my time has come
I love how at first he is stumbling over his improvised role and then drops into shakespeer.
When in doubt, always go back to Shakespeare, they don't teach about him for nothing after all
3:15-3:16 The way Picard says "Warp 9" and Wesley's reaction are just as priceless as anything else in this scene.
I'm sad that we'll never see anything like this from another Star Trek show. So much character and heart.
True true.
Though, if we're going to be poetic it could be worse.
'Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these, it might have been'.
We got some real good stuff.
SNW is doing quite well since it started.
@@dorfpomeranze
And now Picard Season 3.
I love that Picard is still full throttle rambling his poetry as Lwaxana and Toc are talking
Picard: "You're hideous to look at, but my heart loves you in spite how I see you!"
Lwaxana: "Oh tell me more!"
This just shows how stellar an actor Patrick Stewart truly is! He can make any Shakespearan act accessible yet convey the emotion in it, but here he shows how he can do so as though he is Picard quoting various lines in an intentionally bad acting style but it works so well for the scene! You can also tell they just gave him free reign and that he is really enjoying himself!
I unthinkingly added "You'll have to call again!" After "Tell me more!"
This. Just this.
"When I have plucked the rose, I cannot give it vital growth again, its needs must wither...NINE."
Loved this scene. "The only way you will ever get me back is over Tog's dead body." lol
In the background the entire time Deanna and Will are trying their hardest not to loose their shit.
Picard for the 1st 30 seconds...stumble stumble.
Picard AFTER then...unleashes rthe Shakespearean hounds.
I love how Picard has a small smile on his face at 2:05. I can't help but think that it wasn't written for him to smile, but that Patrick Stewart was just having quite a bit of fun and couldn't contain it.
agreed, def seemed like improv, which most of that scene could have been lol (also how his tone reverts like nothing was said inbetween 6 & 7 xD)
Oh he was having so much fun.
Look at Riker's face... I grew to love him so much as the show went on... Look at Wolf's face
IM DEAD AJSKDDHD
I think you'll find it's 'Mr' Wolf...
Stewart loves it when he can bring out his actual theatre acting skills.
Hands up if you saw this episode long before _meme_ was a word in common usage.
When it was new all those years ago.
The word meme originated in Richard Dawkins's 1978 publication _the Greatest Show on Earth_, where he compared...
And *_SO_*, you can't have seen this episode before the word meme existed!
You must be old.
Its been so long
*raises hand*. i actually have a vhs copy of this with all the era specific local adbreaks intact. i was bad at recording stuff back then
0:52 Dianna's smile is so cute :D
Picard " send a subspace message to Starfleet, inform them we have engage Luxuana Troy" * dramatic best of both worlds music *
I love watching good actors pretend to be bad actors.
When a woman that can read your mind is still into you, don't pass it up...
If it means that woman is Lxwana, I will pass it up.
No, I'm passing on Lwaxana Troi. Delightful dish that she is
@@Seyes17passing it up won't work. Consent means nothing to her. She's definitely not above taking it.
Here because of Pogo
Jim Jurkowski same here. I was here two days ago searching for current comments. you won!
TIS BETTER TO HAVE LOVED, AND LOST
TehKhronicler LMAO! IN FAITH I DO NOT LOVE THEE SHALL I COMPARE THEE TO A SUMMER'S DAY?!!!!
Me too!
Yup.
Think this is one of the more light hearted scenes. Picard comes out with brilliant poetry to luxanna even though he's not that keen on her but knows deanna won't be pleased if he didn't try..😆
1:00 and thus, the meme was created
Bro! You just posted cringe! You are going to loose subscriber!
You'll have to call again!
You are borg.
We are borg.
I am Locutus of Borg.
I am the cutest aboard
"Tell me more!"
"You'll have to call again!"
Wood Hightower I wish I could thumb up this quote more times. T_T
I can only listen "why the fuck".
Love how this was a warp 9 situation for Picard at the end 😂
I always loved that writers for this show usually knew very well what they were doing. After we as audience know what to expect from Lwaxana, an episode starts with this:
"Counselor Deanna Troi, Personal Log, Stardate 44805.3. My mother is on board."
A perfect 'nuff said moment. And these are tiny, subtle moments of humor that I love most in shows.
0:27-0:31 arguably the best acting ever. Picard's obvious distaste is so apparent. Stewart is a genius!
Still a better love story than twilight
Lwaxana knows that Picard is not in love with her, but she plays at being smitten with him just to get under his skin. She lives to take people, even those she admires, down a peg or two. It's just her way of dealing with her own insecurities and grief.
Picard was struggling at first, but as soon as Lwaxana fed him that "Oh, tell me more line," he got into it. Shakespeare on Kill.
So true, and I love her knowing wink at 3:08 as if telling him "yeah I'm just messing with you", and not to take seriously her romantic dramatics. That wink adds deeper layers to her and I love that about it
To Picard, she's Fleece Johnson. She likes him and she wants him. She can do him the easy way or the hard way. The choice is his. Any action other than Picard taking off his clothes and laying on her bed for the inevitable is taken as the hard way.
Lwaxana: don't make ruin that D, Jean-Luc....I'm....I'm a warrior!!!!
Picard screams as Lwaxana commences in taking him
1:12 Picard is quick to follow Lwaxana's lead. I love it!
Picard rescued them using warp 8. he rescued himself using warp 9 🤣🤣
Thx wouldn't you? It's Lwaxana Troi.
Sir Patrick Stewart: So anyway, I'd like a scene where I get to nerd out.
And that scene was the reason I nerded out on a school trip, when the loveliest girl in my class and her best friend sat on a rock higher up. "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?..."
Her friend laughed, but she shushed her friend and said: "Don't interrupt, this is so nice!".
I recited the whole sonett and she clapped and thanked me afterwards. A beautiful little memory.
@@KatKaleen thats gay
Troy: "I think I know what she's doing, you have to fight to get her back captain" Picard: "ok, Worf, torpedoes, full spread, FIRE!"
God I love Captain Picard!
And I must add I loved when Picard chose the warp factor in that subtle, but dire tone, "Warp 9". Fantastic.
2:03 One of the best parts and the reason I think Patrick Stewart is one of the best actors of his generation is than IN CHARACTER he gives Riker a little smile as he walks back "You bet I'm enjoying the heck out of this" while reciting Shakespeare as a love struck man and coldly counting down as a psychotic lover. Fine work.
LMAO "Warp 9", made me laugh IRL
Picard was in the hurry of getting up because he didn't want Lwaxana Troi to get poked with his phaser.
Puzzling Centaur You mean with the captain's log?
Considering the captain's overall attraction (or lack there of) to her, I don't think there was a risk of that one.
Picard: Set a course for Betazed. Warp 12.
Wesley: Captain! The dilithium crystals wo-
Picard: Just make it so Wesley!
hahahahahhahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa maximum warpp
warp nine, lmao. above six is reserved only for emergencies because it fucks up space, but he'd go to 9.99 if he could.
fuck that. hed bump past 10.
It's especially funny because the Enterprise has a maximum warp factor of at least 9.6 (I have heard 9.8 before though).
Warp factor 28 please Mr. Crusher.
Actually, at this point in the series, they weren't aware that Warp 6+ was distorting subspace. At least not yet...
"FLOOR IT, WESLEY!" 😂
Heh, Riker's face.
I was told by my parents I was named after Lwaxana...but it is changed up a bit
That's awesome!
XD
lol
cool parents, well cool by my standards anyway.
so cool
picard was the best star trek captain
I always giggle my ass off every time I watch this scene!
Pogo infinitely enhances this speech so much
This is one of the best scenes ever done on TNG, and indeed, one of the most memorable!! 😄😄😁😆😆😆😆
I love the small smirk Sir Patrick makes before starting his monologue, as if he can't believe he's being allowed to do this.
They were definitely on the floor laughing off camera just from the looks frakes gives them
2:04 Pogo's song!
I love that he is all over the place with the quotes not fully remembering them.
I love how uncomfortable Worf gets
Capt. Picard: "Mr. Worf; lock phaser banks and photon torpedoes."
Worf: "don't bring me into this!"
SolidSnake0621 Morl like, Worf: FINALLY! I get to blow up something!
Maybe he's thinking that, "Damn, I thought Klingon males read love poems best."
"Jean-luc is that a phaser in your pocket" 😂
rossnavy a quantum torpedo maybe :))
They don't have pockets.... JEAN-LUC!
This is one of my favorite comedy scenes in all Star Trek. I actually used some of the poetry Picard quotes here to answer some questions on a quiz in high school English that I forgot to study for. The last line of this scene always cracks me up. "Set course for Betazed. Warp 9!"
I love his choice of the "In faith, I do not love thee-" part. Even playing the part, he is borderline insulting her.
Majel... Your whole input in to your husband's heritage has been far more than exemplary. Your duty to the story, the story you and most of us believe will do us genuine good is admirable. I wouldn't wanna over-exaggerate your role in particular, don't get me wrong, Lwaxana was a most delighting character and you made yourself from a producer to an immortal instance. I dearly hope that your heritage will live on in future productions, and I pray that you'll be present in Star Trek: Picard. It's what you deserve. Your voice in Star Trek kept me from forgetting WHOSE idea it was. Point.
You best believe that I counted with great delectation the episodes until Lwaxana reappeared. That woman was a gourmet dish
Warp 9
All comedy aside, Sir Patrick Stewart as a naval officer reciting love sonnets is some serious alpha chad, warrior poet shit.
Jean-Luc Picard is the very essence of a Chad.
One small example of why Patrick Stewart's videos reading "A Sonnet A Day" did a whole lot to get me through 2020 quarantine. This was one of my favorite TNG episodes🥰
When the first link in the chain is forged, when the first speech censored, the first thought forbidden, first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.
-- Capt. Jean Luc Picard
I live in Ottawa, Captains Picards words ring in my head, as i hear people all day respond in anger fear and racism. Thank you Star trek for teaching me how not to judge a whole group, race or religion for the actions of one or a few nut jobs.
I AM UNAFRAID
It was Judge Aaron Satie who said that in-universe; Picard was quoting him. Also you have likely misunderstood the meaning. That quote is not against anger, fear or racism, but wanton censorship and witch-hunting, employing those concepts reversely against legit criticism. In fact, the term "racism" can very easily be used to silence those who are politically opposed to your ideals - just the thing that Aaron Satie was warning about.
Anger and fear are natural responses. If we are talking about a certain religion, I think it is natural that people hate and fear something that poses a threat to their very life - It would be rather insane to think that people in the West should embrace a violent and oppressive culture with open arms. Also, religions have proven to be the antitheses of free speech with the killings of the cartoonists for just one example. Judge Aaron Satie would not approve.
I love the fact that he is actually a Shakespearean actor and yet was over acting so bad. That was probably legitimately hard for him to do.
And while everybody cheers for Picard's excellent poetry, can we all just take a moment to sit it in silence and think about a humming little Ferengi captain kneeling down into the bushes to pick flowers for his crush? 🥺💐 thank you.
Every singöe second of this with every single character is just hilarious.
0:56 You can see Jonathan Frakes in the background smiling and looking round the set out towards the camera crew (as the front of the bridge would have been removed to film Picard like this) with likely genuine smirking at seeing Patrick recite Shakespeare
"Set course for Betazed! [In Softer Voice] Warp Nine." LOL! Jean-Luc is in a hurry to get his romantic adversary off his ship.
I miss this show so much.
The science officer in the back at 0:35. “How was bridge duty today? Anything exciting happen?”
“You’ll never believe this…”
