/strek/ - Star Trek ★

In season 5, he fucked the chief of Stellar Cartography I think and they had a somewhat stable relationship. After she went on an away mission and almost died, Picard freaked and decided that his feelings for a member of his crew interfered too much with his ability to captain. Whatshertits came to a similar conclusion and she applied for a transfer to another ship at the end of the episode.

>Overall, Picard doesn't seem to really develop much of a relationship with anyone. It wasn't until the very last episode that he finally joined the crew for poker in spite of being invited several times over the span of the series

Well, yeah. His being a "private man" and his unceasing professionalism are pretty big aspects of Picard's character. When he Deanna tried to get him to act as surrogate father in the episode "Suddenly Human" he said he couldn't do it because his own childhood was pretty much nonexistent, by his own volition as well--he was too busy trying to become a Starfleet Captain to have fun like the other kiddies.

Yes. Watch the show sometime and you'd find that out.

>he fucked the chief of Stellar Cartography

Ah, I forgot all about her. They at least kissed while they were playing music in the Jefferies tube. That was after the episode The Inner Light after he obtained the flute.

Still, fleeting at best. I am not just talking about romance, either, but friendship. He never seemed to even get close to anyone on the crew. Private guy as has been pointed out many times on the show.

>>20466

The Captain is married to his ship.

Have you watched Star Trek?

If you want to be anal retentive about it, the "ship's husband" is a separate post entirely.

>>20536

>If you want to be anal retentive about it

I do. Elaborate.

>>20559

Husband is the representative of the ship's owner. His job is to make sure the property taken good care of.

I feel that in Star Trek such post would make ton of sense. Starfleet doesn't seem to have any direct obligations to the civil government; the command crew starts whining the moment a public service bureaucrat steps on board. If I was a constituent in the Federation, I'd sure want someone beholden to the democratic process to take care of the ridiculously expensive public property of starships and keep the megalomanical captains from blowing them up in their search of personal glory.

That's interesting, do you know what a ship's "sponsor" is.

>>20521

this, it is an important question to ask concerning this thread

>>20462 (OP)

>Has Picard ever developed a meaningful, static relationship -- either romantic or friendship – of any kind with any member of the crew?

He and Dr Crusher were secret lovers. I like to believe that they lived together after the end of TNG.

>>20462 (OP)

>Has Picard ever developed a meaningful, static relationship -- either romantic or friendship – of any kind with any member of the crew?

Unfortunately his major character development to develop a meaningful relationship happened at the SERIES FINALE of the show. When Picard finally decides to play poker with all of his friends.

Which he admits himself "should have done this a long time ago"

>>20568

Yeah I always got the vibe they were very close friends as well as off and on again lovers but both professional and adult enough to not make it anyone else's business. I wonder if the Enterprise had like an EChan where people went to shit post about the ship and officers as Anons? Do you think they were above that? I like to imagine someone talking about like ….space Linux and AnonGeordie spazzing out with 'what you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system….'

>>20574

>space Linux

There is an OS that looks just like TNG's computer GUI, I've never downloaded it myself though because to be honest it's not that attractive.

>>20583

There's already a thread about TempleOS >>17089

>>20560

Having every starship staffed with the capitalist equivalent of a zampolit would be pretty interesting. Basically like that fucker in every business meeting that represents the "stockholder's interests". See how the various captains would deal with him, as he can otherwise overrule every decision.

>>20594

Mindwipe him Which must be a semistandard procedure for Starfleet doctors by now and re-define his role for him when he wakes up. Make him understand that the Federation civilian government is working against the ship and her crew, but that he must send complacent reports back at regular intervals so that nothing looks suspicious. If they need a security code to verify the reports torture him for the information before mindwiping him.

>>20462 (OP)

You can tell the writers intended for Picard to have a relationship with Bev Crusher early on in the series, then she left for a while, and they nixed that. There were even some scrap scripts they used, like the one were Wesley and Picard bond over crashing on a desert planet, which were clearly setting up Picard as a Father figure, making his eventual hardcore fucking of Beverly a more likely possibility. However, the fluid nature of the show, its long-running plots, and the fickle nature of some of the writers had them ax that idea and many others.

>>20614

Picard always had breakfast with Beverly but it was implied she never entered his room in the morning.

>>20462 (OP)

> the time that Picard and Riker were engaging in anal sex in Ten Forward after hours also doesn't count since they pretended it never happend after the fact and that happened in the second season.

I-I… What?
