"Everyone had jobs."

It was a dream then...

I’m going to get dehydrated with all the tears these memes are creating 😭

Everyone go drink a glass of water. That’s an order!

This meme hit me in the feels the most, it's the last panel of him gripping his flute, clinging to the last remaining piece of all he's lost.

Holy shit, is our current reality just a holodeck program on the Enterpise? That would explain Patrick Stewart existing here.

I just watched this episode for the first time last night. Absolutely depressing.

"Was I... just in space?"

I appreciated this small tribute that showed up on my Roku idle screen tonight.

Let me guess, society was facing a global heat catastrophe, and you had to just watch the corruption and secrecy in government just ruin the planet?

I've never heard of such a scenario. \s

☹️

This is my favourite episode.

No one had jobs compared to TNGs post scarcity society.

Picard would have been horrified at the world Patrick Stewart commanded. Even Patrick Stewart knew this and provided that gravity.

That being said this episode is an amazing revelation of a show.

That final shot of Picard grasping the flute in a way that know one will ever know for reasons only a lifetime could give.

In that story Picard becomes an artist without knowing….

A whole world, an entire lifetime… All he can do is play those notes… all we can hope to understand are HIS notes. After a lifetime all he has is his own empty room alone and those notes.
