STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION | S6 KEY EPISODES PART 2 | FIRST TIME WATCHING

The story about Jean-Luc being stabbed in the heart was first told in season 2. In that episode he and Wesley are travelling to a Starbase together in a shuttle and Jean-Luc tells Wesley he has an artificial heart and how he got it. He even mentioned that he laughed when he saw the blade in his chest.

"John Luck Pickard" is such a great line delivery by John De Lancie

"Tapestry" is one of my favorite TNG episodes. 🥰

I had a friend who was depressed and borderline “self deleting”, due to childhood traumas from his abusive mother. I got him to sit down and watch “tapestry”, that was ten years ago…now he’s happily married with his second kid on the way. He even thanked me AND the episode in his wedding speech for saving g him from that dark place

Picard's flute prop, which isn't even a real instrument and can't play anything, sold at auction for something like a quarter of a million dollars.

Finally, the Picard-in-relationships storylines she wanted all this time.

The moment he trusted her enough to play *that* flute piece. Gets me every time.

I'm amazed no Barclay episode was ever chosen on this channel for a reaction.

Tapestry and Lessons will be excellent episodes in terms of character development -- specifically, Picard's.

Every time I hear the simple, bittersweet, 'melancholy-yet-hopeful' theme from 'The Inner Light', especially from this impromptu duet performed in 'the fourth intersect in Jeffries tube 25' with piano and pennywhistle, I get a lump in my throat. My mind goes back to a proud papa holding his infant son, at his little boy's naming ceremony, little Batai named after his daddy's best friend who had passed. Even though the tune came from a life lived for decades in the space of a few minutes, it didn't make those connections any less real to the mind of the one who experienced them. Or, indeed, to ours.
