captain

or anything like that because, frankly, we want to survive the weekend. No, it's about listing some of the things that a certain Captain is well known for if there is There is always a situation that requires a little calm, a little quiet, then we have Captain Picar give one of his

speeches

, even if They aren't always the calmest with that in mind. I'm Sean Ferrick for Hike Culture and here are Captain Picard's 10 best

speeches

, ah shit, the replicators are down, the turbolifts aren't turbolifts.

I have 20 energy conduits with the powers off and after all I'm meeting with some Federation scientists about some neural biogel technology I'll never go and Julian just informed me that tonight is drinks night and the Alamo and not They serve sent the Hall of Quarks. Fortunately, my old friend Tom Larkin told me about zebiotics. When you drink alcohol, it leaves a toxic byproduct in your gut that's what leaves you feeling dizzy the next morning. Zebiotics give your system an enzyme much like the one your liver makes to help break down this byproduct that should make you feel much better the next day Julian, what are you doing hanging up there?

There is real science. behind this there are no plant extracts no over the counter ingredients another 100% money back guarantee you are not happy with this we will refund your money head to zebiotics.com forward slash Trek and get 15 off your first order now the replicators are replicating the turbo boost lifting the energy conduits are conduits and I'm going to go meet those Federation scientists. Now I tell you guys, bioneer gel packs never take off the number 10 with the first link, the chain is forged, the drum head is Often used as an example of how the calm and collected Captain Picard faces his files only with his words.

The great Gene Simmons guest

s as Admiral Norris Sati, who has been recruited to investigate an alleged act of sabotage on the Enterprise. The story is an example of McCarthyism and witch hunts set against the backdrop of the American Committee hearings, the idea that enemies can be found wherever one wants to look weighs on the story as Wharf is drawn into the hunt. by Satie, the letter is quickly seeing events as they are. they are using the words of City's own father against her he says the following with the first link the chain is forged the first speech is censored the first thought prohibited the First Freedom denied chains us all irrevocably cities seek collaborators aboard the flagship leaves a man's career in Ruins, but exposes her for the fear-monger Picard really is as she is being tried on her own ship, he calmly reminds her of these words, causing her to finally break and lose her cool while the rest of the courtroom empties around him.

She sits there in the knowledge that she has been exposed, the episode ends on a contemplative note, the card reminding Wharf that there will always be people like Sati dressed in Good Intentions, ready to invoke fear in the seemingly perfect Federation Society number nine, that's the measure. of a Man is probably the first truly notable episode of The Next Generation, it showed the maturity and confidence of the series that had to be forceful, it was lacking up to that point, everything works here, from the performances to the themes and the very real feel that things may not end.

As desired, Picard is tasked with defending the lieutenant commander's data rights as a sentient being, while Riker is tasked with prosecuting his friend, Lieutenant Bruce Maddox, who would return in Star Trek. Picard is the scientist who wants to take apart the data in the hopes of replicating it. Guyan points out to Picard that he will lay the first stones on the path to the enslavement of an entire race. Starfleet was founded to seek new life. Well, there it is waiting. Picard's defensive day. Passionate, direct and effective data receives the rights of any sentient being. First. of this type to do so, it is one of the strongest episodes of Star Trek for portraying the need for equal rights hidden as Star Trek Gotham does in the world of science fiction and in the voice of Jean-Luc Picard number eight, how many are needed?

Admiral Star Trek's Rising may not be among the best Star Trek movies, but it's definitely not without merit: there are some glorious action sequences, including Riker's maneuver, and some genuinely funny moments, so it was the latest Android data. The most common criticism it receives is that it's like an extra-long episode of The Next Generation, which seems like an odd criticism when the film's audience was such a fan of the show that all the ingredients are there, including another example of the sentence. Picard, Admiral Daugherty. when confronted with the knowledge that Picard is fully aware of the planned plans for the removal of the Baku, he assures the

captain

that there are only 600 people to move, none of whom were indigenous to the planet, anyway, how many are needed? to be Admiral before it becomes evil one thousand fifty thousand one million how many does it take Admiral is a simple and damning question the truth is that there really is no answer to the question other than to say that either it is not bad or that one is too much The Patrick Stewart's delivery is much more direct and full of emotion than we were used to seeing him address an admiral with his decision to take off his Pips only further complicates scene number seven, the line must be drawn here, frankly, this is the answer to follow. when the question is what happens when Picard misses his call Star Trek's first contact was a massive departure for the crew of The Next Generation a new Enterprise arrives as the Borg return finally Picard will be tested against his

greatest

enemy trapped in the past with dozens of drones slowly making their way across the ship Wharf advises Picard to set the order to strut around consumed by his need for revenge Picard accuses Wharf of cowardice before storming onto the observation deck the film badly needed Lily Sloane's character a character from Viewpoint who didn't care about the chain of command or Picard's own reputation, she walks in and immediately criticizes him, while the audience didn't expect the veracity of her response, they invade our space and we retreat, they take in entire worlds and we retreat. not again the line must be drawn here no further and I will make them pay for what they have done he betrays his own heart here finally allowing his thirst for revenge to swim to the surface it is this moment that really shows Picard for what he is all about. he was in danger of converting if it weren't for a splash of cold water on the face number six I find you a pitiful man The chain of command offers some of the most brutal scenes in the entire Next Generation series, the confrontation between Picard and Madrid with Patrick Stewart and David Warner coming face to face is tense, disturbing and heartbreaking after having studied real torture footage provided by Amnesty International Stewart sinks into a version of the captain that the public has never seen before and yet even at the hands of This Gardasian Jader and a physically bruised and brutalized Picard manage to keep his mind Madrid reveals too much of his own backstory, revealing that he had been a child on the streets fighting for scraps, this awakens something in Picard that not many saw coming every time I looked. .

You now I will not see a powerful Cardassian warrior I will see a six-year-old child who could not protect himself despite everything you have done to me I find you a pitiful man this infuriates Madrid although it looks like Picard To get a huge spirit out of this, no It is the revelation that Madrid had a difficult childhood that strengthens him but that there is Humanity, so to speak, in every situation. If anything can be said about Picard, it is that he looked for the best. in every situation despite the personal cost, so even though he had really begun to decipher a mother's line of questioning, he offered one last Ray of Hope number five, the first Duty.

There's one thing to be said about the anger Picard felt toward the Borg they had. of course, he captured and transformed it. Beyond his control, there was a deep sense of personal violation. His feelings at first contact as they threatened to overwhelm him were certainly understandable. The first Duty offers something different. This is Picard and he is very disappointed with Wesley Crusher as the culprit. The scene in the prep room with the current confronting Crusher with the truth is written and filmed as a mentor giving his student the reprimand of a lifetime. The first duty of every Starfleet officer is the truth, whether scientific, historical, or personal.

Truth is the guiding principle that

star

fish is based on now. If you can't find it within yourself to stand up and tell the truth about what happened, you don't deserve to wear that uniform. The crusher's actions when performing the Culvert Starburst maneuver were one. But it was his role in covering up Joshua Albert's death that pains Picard most thematically. The fact that Wesley, a character who uttered the famous Starfleet lie, is not lying, is caught in a cover-up, strikes even more strangely if Picard had spoken. with so much direct anger towards another person that directing it towards Sun's stand-in figure hits all the right notes number four whisper from the dark the second season of the next generation was a marked improvement over its debut year with several standout episodes friends by Correspondence, although not often compared to episodes such as Q Who and the Measure of a Man, features a scene in which Picard and his superior officers discuss the ethics of their situation, the data stated by Sarjenka begging him to rescue her lead to the Android to violate the core policy.

Picard, perhaps more than the other Trek captains, kept the chief director front and center in his reasoning data. His whisper from the darkness has now become a plea. He can't turn his back on us. The discussion that includes each officer's views makes the question difficult. of what to do when the prime directive can lead you to suffer some of the offers, the answer is easy to rush to your aid for others less, so what is the precedent that sets what will happen the next time a distress call comes from a first prior contact? civilization, the decision to act on the distress call is by no means easy, adding to the complexity of the Prime Directive and the relationship with it, while other series will address these themes again, including Star Trek Voyager in part 1 from the episode Equinox. and 2. this would almost serve as a support point for the decisions that will follow number three: make the most of the time.

The Light Within written by Morgan Gandal is both a simple story of a life lived in the space of a few minutes and the character-defining evolution of Picard's character, at least until the next episode, what are the

greatest

strengths from the episode that affects so deeply, leads to a weakness that is rarely analyzed after this; However, in Katan, Picard or Alligator lives a full life, he lives long enough to see his daughter. she begins to grow up, leading him to impart some disturbingly crucial advice to her. He sees the time Merribor lives in now. Make now always the most precious moment.

Now he will never come back. Katan features drought and eventual destruction, as it is, it has no future, hence the people who helped. shape would become extinct, although at this point in his journey Picard had adapted to life as a Cayman, a part of him remembers that he knows that he has somehow been transported to a place that had and always will have a countdown timer on he. Instead of despairing, Picard reminds Merobor that in every moment there is possibility and potential, it is an idea that would be revisited in Star Trek Insurrection along with the character of a niece, the final scene of the episode showing Picard holding a tangible piece of the receiving flute. from a time hammered this house number two Romulan lies lifeless Star Trek Picard picks up in the years following the events of Star Trek Nemesis and Romulan Supernova as first shown in Star Trek 2009 during this time Picard had been promoted to admiral and was tasked with leading the effort to relocate the Romulan people, a mammoth task that would include redirecting enormous amounts of resources from the starving.

The actions of the Jat Vash, a secret sect of the Romulan people, led to the reprogramming of the androids assigned to the planet Mars Utopia. Fleet yards, rebels slaughter thousands before destroying all planned resources for the Romulan relief effort. Anger and bitterness begin to seep into Starfy from this moment on. Picar becomes a kind of figurehead of the past from a time before so many lives were lost. trying to save Romulan lives there were millions oflives at stake romulent lives no lives during an interview on the anniversary of the disaster Picard asked why so much effort should have been directed at saving Ramidan's lives his simple counterargument is both brilliant and devastating once people are written down, it's easy seeing them as lesser, this starts with language, but extends beyond that, grasping that possessing it was Picard's way of making sure the people of the Federation remembered that the Romulans also deserved to experience disturbing historical parallels number one with the events of Star.

Trek's insurrection was preceded by Journey's End, an episode of the seventh season of The Next Generation, which served as the final episode for Wesley Crusher and as the debut episode. The 4 would eventually become the Marquis. A new treaty between Starlight and the Cardassian Empire creates the demilitarized zone and at the same time places several worlds of the former Federation under Cardassian control a planet like Dwarven 5 on which a community of Native American settlers has settled Admiral Nachev, sometimes a thorn in Picard's side, he orders the captain to convince them to move to another world, one that is not in Cardassian territory Picard's navigation Groove you see the admiral there There are some very disturbing historical parallels here, once again they are asked to leave their homes because of a political decision that has been made by a distant government.

Of course, he is referring to the episode's inspiration, the mass relocation and murder of Native Americans. While the episode would go even further in its exploration of this idea, this speech the captain makes is incredibly well-defined and he also calmly insists. Picard has had his share of fights with the admirals and it certainly wouldn't be the last, but at least it's well written, Nachev, for his part, underestimated the Dorvan colonists' willingness to remain an idea that will be revisited in deep space , nine, the Marquis, that's it for our list today, friends, thank you very much for joining us, what do you think should be included or should it?
