His delivery of lines/speech pattern is also quite similar to Bashir’s too.
That would be a very poor idea.
Khan has only been played by white men.
Isn't it also told from the perspective of a child?
One of the things I've been looking forward to this season is seeing interaction between Q and Guinan and finally finding out what the Hell that was all about between them in "Q Who?"
I was thinking that back then guinan said that their dealings with the Q was 2 centuries in the past, so around the 22th century and in the future of what are we watching now. Perhaps up to now there has been the Cold War and the treaty but later the Q will betray such treaty and send the Borg to assimilate el-auria. This will explain why guinan is much angrier with Q on TNG.
The idea that someone suffering from mental illness in the 24th century would have no recourse but to be locked away is either completely ridiculous or incredibly depressing - not sure which...
Q also asks Guinan, "Is that what you call yourself now?" So either she had the name before and then went back to it, or she fought with Q before she started calling herself Guinan. Which means they might go way, way, waaaaaayyyyyy back. War or no war.
Tantalus colony still around?
McDowell?
Bear in mind that what we saw in this episode was a single day, a single formative traumatic event in the young Jean Luc's life. And then consider what we actually saw, when all the more fanciful elements were stripped away. We saw young Jean Luc painting with his mother in the conservatory - she was very much not locked up, she was living her life, enjoying time with her son. Then her mental stability went on a downward spiral - because, we later learned, she had stopped taking her medication. (Which tells us that she was on medication, that her mental health was being managed through meds, not through being locked up.) She started talking about monsters and took her confused young son down into tunnels beneath the house that he'd always been told to never go into because it was dangerous. He then got his foot stuck and she ran off without him. He was trapped alone in the dark for hours before his father found him. Maurice then had to search the tunnels for Yvette, and dragged her out and locked her safely into a room in the house on that particular day, yes, as an emergency measure, because it was either that or leave her wandering the tunnels, lost in her delusion. She could have died down there. She was a danger to herself and others at that point. But nothing in the story indicates that she was locked up in that room for the rest of her life. It would have been a temporary measure, until he could get a doctor out to see her and get her stabilised again. What else was he supposed to do at that point? But we don't know the end of the story yet because that's when Picard woke up. It seems clear that something else happened after what we saw, and we'll no doubt find out what before the season ends.
