Picard, Troi, Data and LaForge "Timescape" Star Trek: TNG

[@SilverKnight16]

Minor detail that I love: when Picard got up to get more tea, he instinctively grabbed Geordi's tea as he passed--that tiny little gesture of courtesy is something that can be very easily forgotten in these sorts of scenarios. It lets you know that these people really are comfortable with each other, and they help each other without a second thought, even when there aren't any stakes to it.

[@SR-iy4gg]

Yeah, I noticed that too. I thought to myself, "Why would Geordie be handing his cup to the captain? That's the captain!" LOL

[@timothythomad5529]

@@SR-iy4gg That's how a good leader acts. You are a leader, but you are also a human being. You aren't a God or King. You can do small acts of normal human kindness and politeness for your team.

[@ilse5670]

I really like these kinds of things too! Another example, but maybe more staged than this, is in season 1 when an enemy is beamed onto the bridge and Data immediately steps in front of the captain to protect him from potential harm. There are other things but this is what came to mind first lol

[@paimannamazi1128]

Did you also notice that he gave him back the wrong cup? Picard grabbed the cup from Jordy with his right hand, but when he returned the cup Jordy, he gave him the cup from the left-hand.

[@klaxoncow]

@@timothythomad5529 It is also simply logical. As Picard is going to the replicator anyway, then it would be additional unnecessary effort to have them both go up to the replicator one after the other. So, I would consider it demonstrative of good leadership that he would do this, as only a self-important idiot would such an impractical decision for such a trivially unimportant reason. You wouldn't want to serve under a leader who made such bad decisions for inconsequential reasons. They would prove to be a poor leader. A good leader cares to achieve the best outcome for all. If that requires shovelling shit all day, then hand me my shovel. If you think it's all about you, then you're not a leader and should stand down for someone who actually is.

I've seen this a few times, but I just noticed something; When Picard starts his story, he refills his and Geordi's cups, and Geordi just grabs his expecting the captain to take it. I think it's these super tiny things that make you get the sense this is a moment between friends. Sure the dialogue is awesome, but I think it's the physical acting that really got people to relate to TNG and it's characters.

[@ryancarroll3957]

Things like this help u read what kinda leader it is. Be it business or military/ police / politics whatever...you gotta follow (legal and moral) orders of those that outrank you even if they're not good people cos there has to b some order n structure to the world. But you can see, with stuff like this ^ when someone ALSO likes and respects their team / team respects and likes their leader...this follow orders cos they like um not just cos they had to

[@ThePathStrider]

Also, why was Troi unaffected anyway? If the runabout was heading towards the Enterprise (the source of the time distortions), someone at the back of the ship would have been affected just as much as someone at the front. Assuming these time bubbles were stationary, it would have made more sense if someone at either the port or starboard side of the ship was unaffected.

if any of them were looking at her directly and not caught up in Laforge's story(Data) or drinking herb tea(Picard) then maybe.. besides i think Data looking 'hypnotized' is more concerning.. that alone i think can answer why Data didnt see it.. a comedic moment or a flaw in 'Data'
