They really brought Ro Laren back just to get her killed huh 🥲
and it was rude
gonna quote my partner on this one but what if Picard saw Ro and realized that he’d been a father to dozens of people who wanted his love and guidance and benefited from it already and that his biological son really wasn’t that important compared to his chosen family but… no, put Ro in the fridge
what makes me even more mad is that I actually liked all they did with Ro’s character, her being Starfleet intelligence, Worf’s handler… she could have remained for the rest of the season, helping them out and yet… and yet…
They really brought Ro Laren back just to get her killed huh 🥲
I think we should boldly get the hell out of here…
STAR TREK: PICARD | 3.04 “No Win Scenario”
âIt took two months to really hone and craft that scene, with many different writers,â Matalas reveals. âAll of us contributed to it, including Patrick [Stewart] and Gates [McFadden] and Jonathan [Frakes, who directed the episode]. We rehearsed it many times. It was the most difficult scene of the season to get right. But it was important to get it right because itâs a pivotal scene for Jean-Luc and Beverly as characters, Matalas notes: âIt needs to do quite a bit. You need to understand his point of view, which is, âMy God, what have you done?â And her point of view is, âWhat do you expect me to do?â By the time sheâs finished with the explanation, you need to truly understand why she would do that, and I think Gatesâ performance is just phenomenal in that scene. It did get âemotionalâ on the set while filming the scene as well, Matalas recalls: âBoth Patrick and Gates have strong feelings about their characters, and itâs not a traditional Star Trek: The Next Generation scene.âÂ
