Star Trek group on Facebook but I’d forgotten about it. As we were watching my wife said “Who’s in that picture?” I looked up from my iPad and started laughing. She caught it on the fly.

Picard confronting the depths of his PTSD, and Lily forcing him to do so to bring him to his senses. Stewart and Woodard had fantastic chemistry in First Contact.

...but I can never shake the feeling that the scene was originally written for a character more intimate with Picard, like Dr. Crusher.

Well worth a watch, even today, the British productions of "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" and "Smiley's People." Sir Alec Guinness stars as George Smiley. Stewart is in only a few scenes, doesn't have any lines, but his presence looms and lurks through the story.
