So, I wasn’t sure if you Picard fans knew about this, but I figured I’d make it available to all the trek fans here at SDMB. It’s epic Bonus points to the first one who can tell me which episode the “hypnotic” speech comes from.

Oh, I love this. Though that “Captain … Jean Luc Picard of the U.S.S. Enterprise” is totally in my head now. Bastard. > [@](#): > > Bonus points to the first one who can tell me which episode the “hypnotic” speech comes from. That’s “Timescape,” God help me for knowing this. Actually a very good episode. Edited to add: But what the heck episode is the snippet with Picard with the straw hat & cane dancing on the bridge from?! ---
