Never thought about it like that

People TwitterAnd you don't think it has anything to do with her being a pseudo-psychic who's species in known for altering emotions on a mass scale, which she definitely doesn't do pinky promise?
Shes only half betazoid, i dont think she can change other beings emotions the way her mom can. (Luxwanna? Her moms name was something along those lines)
alien yelling at them
"He appears to be very angry, sir."
"Yes, I can see that counselor."
Did Picard ever get counselling or just advice, as he did with all his senior staff? She wasn't Picard's therapist but the entire ship's counselor.
I'm sure he needed PTSD therapy after this incident.
She is a Betazoid, can't she just sort of, constantly push calm vibes at him?
Shes half. I dont think she can.
Starfleets version of 'good cop, bad cop.'
SURRENDER?! I'LL MAKE YOU SURRENDER YOUR--
Captain, let's take a deep breath and do our count to five
Inhales deeply, exhales slowly You're right, diplomacy first..
The aliens on the screen have widened eyes and fearful expressions with whispers in the background, "he has to have a handler, this guy's nothing to fuck with."
Obligatory reminder that Picard would be a LTJG astrophysics officer if he weren't such a hothead.
My head cannon is now that Picard is an absolute psychopath but also a strategic genius, so they have a psychic assigned to him to bolster his humanity. Just holding him in reserve in case there is a scenario where they need the next ghengis khan to bring the galaxy to its knees
Listen i love your head cannon, but I gotta ask as a casual fan, when did you get the idea hes a psycho? Ill admit im Picard biased because next gen was my first, and the way he pronounces the word "civilization ". But I did always think he was one of the calmer ST captains.
Tactical genius too. Invented his own combat maneuver that is supposedly unbeatable. Weird that nobody else seems to use it.
YES!!!
The number of battles where it was not used throughout the series is mind boggling
Once! Could we have not seen it once?!!?
It was defeated by a tractor beam and shield strength focused on the only place the ship could fire at. But that's only because they knew it was coming.
Well if they ALL could use it, it wouldn’t be the Picard maneuver
But one thing is for sure, Picard has no head cannon.
where they need the next ghengis khan to bring the galaxy to its knees
Or some other Khan
Why do you think he was such a threat as Locutus?
I just have this vision of a window looking over the SF bay, and a dude in a suit whispering into a communicator “Cry havoc, and let slip the Picard of war”
I imagine a fantasy kingdom, that due to a civil war, they decided to have 2 kings, one from each side. they are tethered by death, when one dies the other is executed, they share palace and have to govern together, sharing equal power. and it often results on one of them being a violent warlord and the other a pacifist.
Picard was straight up Commander Shepherd level back in the day. Bangin' and blastin'.

“This counselor, Counselor Troi? She just tells this Picard what he should really do… and he complies?! Truly the superior opponent, her capabilities are virtually limitless! Put us in direct contact immediately!”
Wait, if this is the shotgun seat, it would mean the federation adopted left-hand-traffic... 😯
Only Picard. He's kinda a teaboo, hence the accent despite living outside LA.
New vocabulary dropped!
Teaboo... :-D
Is this okay to use for non teaboos?
But Picard is a Frenchman speaking with a British accent.
Following the definition, that sounds pretty teaboo to me ;-)
I actually just got the pun just now, and realize my last comment probably seemed like a joke question.
I’m dumb.
Nope, legit question. Asking when not getting something is good practice.
You're good :-)
It's relative to Captain Picard, so it might just be France that adopted left-hand traffic. They got the English accent, they may have gotten their way of driving too.
Whoa, Gerry Duggan! Forgot about him when I fell off Nerd Poker, but he's hilarious.
