This is a clip from the Season 5 episode "The Game". Wesley Crusher, visiting the Enterprise from Starfleet Academy, is having tea with Captain Picard.
@@necessaryvolitio No worries, I didn't go into the medical profession. But if I had, you'd be the first patient I'd fire. Hope you don't talk to your actual doctor like that.
"Helm lay in a course to Earth, Emergency warp; Red Alert, arm torpedoes...Engage! We'll see if he remembers me once his precious garden is a pile of ash.
Agreed. Q made it very clear to Picard that his leap before you look risk taking nature was the thing that got him to where he was. Perhaps if he HADN'T failed OC, he would be making better urinal tablets on Optmushithole.
@@JasonAguirre So you think that if he would have passed Organic Chemistry instead of diving headlong into the relationship that would have brought him closer to being the kind of person who takes risks and gets into fights with Nausicaans? It's probably the exact opposite (see the comment above mine).
A thing that always annoyed me is that people talk a whole lot about Picard hating Wesley, but he only hated him at first because they got off on the wrong foot and once they actually got to know each other Picard had a lot of respect for Wesley.
@@tomdumb6937 Captain Picard. The results are in and you are NOT the father. Wesley saw his father in a hologram recording that his Mom gave him in an episode.
later on: wesley: I failed chemistry Picard: inexcusable wesley: hey, you failed that too picard: I was only pretending to make you feel better about your performance... I passed that class with flying colors... you're relieved of duty.
I love that Picard using his Maman's silver service here. An honour to have time with the Captain, a great honour to have tea while having one on one time with Captain Picard, and to be further honoured by the use of his revered mother's antique (ancient?) silver service...?! Well! :)
Wil Wheaton is a great actor. Yeah, I know the whole "Wesley" thing as a child, but as an adult, he can hold his own against Patrick Stewart and make these exchanges entertaining. Compare this to Patrick Stewart's back and forth with Denise Crosby; night and day!
You mean not just hip to current thought patterns to feign relatability with the hoped target audience? The TNG cast exuded excellence, not just in their acting, but also the material, and their characters.
I like this scene between Picard and Wesley because Picard was always not being very nice to Wesley and would treat him badly. I don't understand why fans dislike Wesley. Is he really that bad as a character? The Next Generation novel, it was revealed Picard was actually in love with Beverly Crusher, but he was bitter when he learnt Beverly had married and had a son - Wesley. Maybe that could explain why Picard treats Wesley the way he does. "Shut up, Wesley!". Before you all tell me to shut up, I want to understand and trying to understand.
he was inlove with Beverly, and she married his best friend JACK, and picard was the one that had to bring his body home, he felt guilty. if a few thinks were different Wesley would have been HIS son.
There's a trope about children in science fiction which causes draws the ire of some fans, too. Science fiction which indulges in children too much tend to focus on them as precious and overly gifted and elevate their value over others on the show. It was to the point that a notable science fiction TV show creator, J. Michael Straczynski, had the slogan "No Cute Kids, No Cute Robots. Ever!" on set. While the handling of children in science fiction has become much more nuanced over time, back then it was a trope, and not a welcome one.
Ok. I'm going to say something about this scene. This scene served no major artistic purpose. It didn't contribute anything to the story, what it did was reveal a little bit about Picard's character, as the show has done over the years in showing his less-than-disciplined past. Other then that, it was a pleasant discussion that let us catch up with Wesley. And yet, I found myself more interested and engaged - watching a mentor and his protege enjoying some tea, listening to Picard reminisce about his youth - then any scene in Star Trek Discovery. This is what Star Trek is, not wall-to-wall action and drama.
Good observation. It does the same as what Tolkien does and the warhammergame franchise: exploring the universe of the story further by adding all sorts of interesting details. This is how you get lost in imagination.
Oh yes, by segwaying the plot into completely irrelevant subplots and characters that are quite literally of zero consequence. Tom Bombadil was a complete waste of time, but let's keep praising Tolkien as if there isn't quite a long list of problems and issues with the books he wrote...
This scene actually changed how I entered university. While others students were meeting each other in bars and clubs for drinks, i went and made friends with the groundskeeper staff. My Boothby was a lovely man called Leonard, went into gardening in 1946 after leaving the Air Force. I still sent and got Christmas cards years later.
Picard: AF? Why it's old 21st century Earth slang, Wesley. It means "as fuck." Wesley: I don't understand sir. Picard: As in, "organic chemistry is lame af." My instructor caught me carving it and failed me.
Aw, what a shame! I got a B in organic chemistry because I asked an Organic Chemistry Graduate Assistant to tutor me! Then he was my boyfriend for a while. 😊 My first test grade in Organic 1 was 15/100. The mean was 30/100, and the outlier got 50/100. I failed the first test of Organic 1 both times I took it. But my tutor helped me get a C in 1st semester and B in 2nd semester. (Thank you, Big Bill)
Love the look Picard gave when Wesley said he didn't remember you. Tell me how he wasn't charting a route to the nearest starbase to kick someone's ass. Seriously, how was that look never a meme?
I remember meeting a doctor at a hospital who told me she failed Organic Chemistry--⚗. Then, she explained that once she started working as a doctor it wasn't even really applicable to her duties as a doctor.
I didn't do well in organic chemistry because there were too many exceptions to the rules - I could never come up with the proper solution for a reaction.
I'd be able to enjoy this is they'd ever picked a damn theme for their relationship. It went all over the place. He tolerated him, he took him under his wing, he couldn't stand him, he sort of liked him, he put up with him....
Yeah- first/second season kinda spoiled it because the writers were really not sure, and Roddenberry himself was not sure; After Roddenberry died I think that the writers decided on a more mentor/protege relationship for Picard and Wesley. Having said that, it's kinda clear that Wesley does admire and care for Picard and Picard growns to feel the same for Wesley.
Nobody needs help in failing Organic Chemistry. A friend once told me that the only way to pass Organic Chemistry was to memorize the whole book-all 800+ pages. He was right.
*TNG spoilers * Picard did not hate Wesley. He was in love with his Beverly but could never be with her because she was married to his best friend Jack. Picard also always wanted children but chose a career in Starfleet over settling down. His initial reaction to Wesley was out of not knowing how to deal with children, for a man so confident in his abilities, to find himself unsure if something would be hard to deal with. He got so much better with kids as the series went on, even living an entire life as a family man and learning to play the flute :p
Just a little thing that doesn't make much sense here - why would Boothby not remember Picard? Obviously that's totally normal if Picard was just one of the many lower level Starfleet officers or something but Picard is one of the most highly decorated and famous starship captains in Starfleet.. Boothby would have seen his picture and articles about him and so on many times working at the Academy...
Knowing what we saw of Boothby, he was probably just sandbagging it. He would have kept close tabs on every notable academy graduate, but just doesn't go hyper over them when asked about it.
My first thought on hearing it was that Boothby was starting to have memory related issues that maybe weren't so bad he couldn't garden, but were bad enough he couldn't put names with faces, especially someone he may not have seen in decades.
Academy student and captain enjoying afternoon tea. Considering Picard didn’t like Wesley at first he definitely had more respect for him than he let on.
I failed English (my favorite class) because of G.M. See, I cut too many classes. But, think on this, moonlit nights on the Riverside Golf Course under the shade of Oak tree making "Holes In One" Hahahaha
Why would they teach organic chemistry to cadets wanting to go into wear red shirts/ command? Is there anything they didn’t teach at examine them on at Starfleet academy? The course must take 20 years to complete!
Wesley needed to stop taking everything too goddamn seriously! It sucks that even in the future people still judge others based on nothing but their grades! Wesley did the right thing becoming a traveler! No one knows why he showed up for the wedding in Nemesis! But I hope he's enjoying being a traveler!
@@matthewjones2095 yes education is very important but the aim of it should be to learn and experience which usually has nothing to do with grades, although hopefully the exam system may finally have been fixed to reward more than being good at exams by ST times.
gnshapiro this episode which is called “The Game” came almost exactly one season before “Tapestry”. Both episodes are some of the best of TNG in my opinion.
As early as season 2 Picard has intimated that he really regretted NOT having a family BUT at the same time he was lady crazy. Picard had no problems getting into intimate relationships; it was allowing those intimate relationships to continue and making space for them in his career that was the problem.
The virgin Hollywood glory days seeker: "You have to spend every moment in hedonism or you won't have anything good to remember when you're older!" The chad Picard: "Seek not the pleasures of the flesh. The Motherland needs organic chemists."
If I had stayed in college another semester and studied two German classes (and I would have included Japanese), they would all have been electives, but they would have given me a minor in German along with my B. S. in Zoology. No small thing considering I was a member of the German Honor Society: Delta Phi Alpha. I was taking the next Chemistry class after Organic -Physical Chemistry -and a classmate of mine boasted he would get a Chemistry degree and a Medical degree at the same time as a double major. I asked him how was he going to do that; full - time semesters are like full - time jobs and more. He said he'd do it. I did poorly on a number of the tests, but I went to the professor and he was delighted to help me understand what I got wrong. And then every test, the boasting guy came up to me and asked me to explain it to him. I, having little grasp of it myself, told him to ask the teacher, that he'd be glad to help. He didn't seem to like that answer. But still he boasted about his double major, up to the point when he dropped Physical Chemistry. I struggled through math and science. And I succeeded. And these were my favorite classes. I asked for help; he didn't. I passed with a C. He dropped the class. Just because someone takes a course doesn't mean he'll pass it, even English 101.
@@Cobalt985 It sounds cool, but with the amount of mechanisms that you have to memorize, and parts of stereochemical structures that you have to rotate around bonds in order to try get it to fit into some 1 in a million reaction that you go crazy searching for. "Ugh" is the right word! Even in the labs, you still have to write lab reports!
@@jamietung8233 It's not too bad when you realize it has nothing to do with general chemistry and more about how to solve puzzles. If you take the solving puzzle approach then it becomes much more workable. Many who strictly come in thinking it will be all quantitative analysis end up being the ones who do poorly, at least at first.
I failed at organic chemistry, statistics, virology and driving lessons because of a lot of people, and none of them had the initials carved at wood. lol.
Wesley: Was she hot?
Picard, staring into the distance: …hot af…

I struggled through math and science. And I succeeded. And these were my favorite classes. I asked for help; he didn't. I passed with a C. He dropped the class.
Just because someone takes a course doesn't mean he'll pass it, even English 101.
I would think that Organic Chemistry is a prerequisite for entry to Starfleet Academy.
Let's face it: every chemist and engineer who has had to pass a organic chemistry test failed at least once (myself, chemical engineer, included)
Boothby was always my favorite Martian.
I can relate to Wesley if he starts to be the new captain
Anastasia Flanders
Well I failed non-organic chemistry also because of AF. True story. I was tired AF and couldn't study.
Aretha Franklin. Yeah, I understand Picard.
Hahaha because of the Guinan thing.
Ugh organic Chemistry
Organic chemistry sounds so fucking cool, I love chemistry
@@Cobalt985 It sounds cool, but with the amount of mechanisms that you have to memorize, and parts of stereochemical structures that you have to rotate around bonds in order to try get it to fit into some 1 in a million reaction that you go crazy searching for. "Ugh" is the right word! Even in the labs, you still have to write lab reports!
Organian chemistry is probably more stimulating.
@@jamietung8233 It's not too bad when you realize it has nothing to do with general chemistry and more about how to solve puzzles. If you take the solving puzzle approach then it becomes much more workable. Many who strictly come in thinking it will be all quantitative analysis end up being the ones who do poorly, at least at first.
He got a "F" in organic chemistry.
He didn't do too well in English, either.
Lol
My freshman college roommate failed organic chemistry. Now he's a pathologist.
Oh Wesley 🙄... thanks for bringing up Boothby apparently getting senile.
Why are they using a tea set on a spaceship?
He's just a true Believer;
But diversifying the Porfolio can not hurt;
I guess.^^
Picard was stud-ying hard.
Remember that shuttle stunt accident that nearly expelled crusher from starfleet acad.? Didn't that also include a girl with special feelings?
No...
I failed at organic chemistry, statistics, virology and driving lessons because of a lot of people, and none of them had the initials carved at wood. lol.
Picard didn't fail due to "AF"
He simply learned about organic studies in another way ;) ;)
I still don't know HOW I passed Organic Chemistry.
“oh that’s no problem sir. I’m going to remain a virgin until marriage.”
