Watching this again, you truly feel for Sarek and the pain at the loss of his faculties, and the loss of his own sense of self-worth and his dignity. And also for Picard for not being able to absorb them and contain a lifetime of suppressed emotions. It's one of the most potent scenes in the entire series. The only other two comparable that I can think of are when Picard breaks down in front of his brother after his experience with the Borg, and after he was tortured by the Cardassians. Are there others? Please speak up!

This episode is especially moving when you bear in mind that Sarek's deteriotating state is intended to parallel Gene Roddenberry's declining health in his last years. It powerfully conveys what it's like to see someone you admire - someone who made so much possible - come apart at the seams as illness and old age finally take their toll

Hysteria, Mr Charcot? 😂 Anyway. Well, it is what it is. Venting, like reliving trauma, is good if AND ONLY IF something changes in the objective circumstances and inner landscape. Because if it doesn’t, it is just psychological torture on a loop. Say, for example, someone was traumatised because all their fucking miserable life have been lied to, disrespected, and belittled. How does having a patronising counsellor with a lying god complex help? Methinks it does not. But, hey, I’m just an idiot who thinks about trust, truth, respect, dignity and all that shit. I have not had much of that in my life, you know, just to add insult to injury. How about everyone fuck off? There are points of no return in one’s life and no counselling skills can compensate for being chronically submitted to lack of basic humanity. Animals.

@@Suninrags Yes, and to my point, they vent their emotions WITHOUT destroying their society. It's pretty fair evidene IMHO that Surak was responding to a problem with Vulcan culture, not with the Vulcan species, which is the same as Romulan. There was a cultural problem in Surak's day that both cultures solved differently. It would be interesting to see a pre-Surak Vulcanoid culture to explore why (and whether) Surak was necessary and what the Romulans did instead to resolve the same issue in their society. I suspect the Romulans may have modified themselves to suppress their telepathy in order to preserve their individuality, while the Vulcans renounced individuality in the name of discipline and thus preserved their telepathic powers. But that's only a hunch. We certainly don't see Romulans regularly demonstrating telepathic abilities like their cousins do.

It makes you appreciate the self control that some of us took years to master and refine.

I think if I had the opportunity to ask Mr Stewart a question in a panel-I’d ask, “how did you harness all that emotion, happiness, pain, sadness, anger, hate in one scene? Did you take your mind somewhere to get there? Did you think about a time in your life before Star Trek and theatre that triggered you in zone and forget that you were acting?

On top of experiencing Sarek’s trauma, he had to deal with nearly dying from being stabbed, feeling guilt in his best friend jack crusher’s death, becoming borg & being used to kill thousands, getting tortured by a cardassian, losing his brother & nephew…the man’s been thru a lot!

If you look at this performance and the performance of Jean Simmons in the Thornbirds after her husbands death... You will see to brilliant actors whose performances truly expressed the tragedy of unspoken love

I probably relate to this one scene better than any other in any series I've ever watched...

I wonder what a Vulcan desires after all those years of cold calculated logic? A cold beer maybe.

Whenever I think starring in a scifi TV-show is not about acting at all, I remind myself of this scene.. Regrets, yes.

Just WOW, Patrick Stewart’s finest moment on screen. The man just oozes class, quality, talent, and Charisma. TNG were lucky to have him,.

Yeah Discovery can’t come anywhere close to this level. Pure upper tier status!!!

The whole episode I waited to see the meeting with the guest species, but they only showed Picard instead
