What was the name of the episode where Picard is driven almost insane by an alien captor trying to force him to think 5 items were 4 ?

Chain of command 2 episodes

My favorite is the one where he lives the entire 2nd life in about 15 minutes from the people whose civilization had ended.

That was a good episode.



It left me feeling sad.

It was one of the most intense episodes they did. Downright scary and thought provoking. Not just typical drool-mouth scifi with big explosions and green aliens.

It makes me jealous. I mean he got to live 2 completely different types of lives. How luck a man would be to experience this.

Did someone say green aliens?

That's funny. I'm watching that very episode on Netflix right now, with 18 minutes left in that episode. It's defiantly my favorite episode of STNG.

You're talking about "The Inner Light". Yeah, that was an emotional one.

I like the episode when Picard gets a chance of a do-over in his life, starting from a young Star Fleet Cadet.

Kind if what we all think sometimes; "If I had a chance to go back and do it all over again, what would I do differently?"



TAPESTRY

While on an away mission, Picard catches a weapons blast in the chest that fries his artificial heart. As he lies on the operating table, he gets a visit from the puckish ''Q,'' who shows us how he lost his heart in the first place. Now we're back with young, dashing, womanizing Ensign Picard, just before his first assignment. But Jean-Luc plays his cards differently this time, avoiding the risks he courted in his youth — and keeping his real heart. Only when Q shows him the life such safety would bring — an aging science officer who would never have a shot at a command — does Picard realize that he's the result of his mistakes.

And all of those episodes were from the same season! Something came together for them in writing, acting and production to make that happen.

Something that those running all the other shows never got. You don't need space battles to have a good time.

I used to think that same way, but that is selfish. If i had done things differently all the 'good' i have tried to do may have never happened. Children may not exist ( and most definitely not in their current form ), friends i have helped may have gone without, animals rescued might not have survived, people i don't even know their names that i have done my best to assist might have not none..

And besides, who i am is in part due to the ramifications of the choices i did make. If they were not made in the same way, who would i be? Not 'me'.. ( much as Q was pointing out to Picard )

( or am i destroying the mood again by being too serious )
