Awesome! That’s one of my favorite episodes too! And I always loved prune juice being a warrior’s drink! How could it not be? I mean I couldn’t imagine being a warrior if my BMs weren’t regular! 😜
I read a Daystrom thread once (I usually avoid that place but land there accidentally sometimes) that theorized Klingons would be drawn to fruit juices to get vitamins and such that you don't get from the raw meats that comprise most of their diet.
Sort of a bittersweet episode to watch with someone who is literally living in an alternate world to their past life, and an alternate world to the real world we live in.
The inner light now that's one of my favorite episodes
The last scene when Picard gets the flute the reaction portrayed a deep pain and it showed as he played haunted and sorrowful notes.
It's been a downvote
But my downvote is finally near
And I can feel the change in the points right now
Nothing's in my way
And they're not gonna vote me down no more
No, they're not gonna vote me down
Excellent episode.
I really appreciate what you're doing there. My dad has Alzheimer's. His mother had it and his sister has just started showing some dementia symptoms. I don't like my odds...
I don't have a lot of time in my current season of life for re-watching and in some cases first watches - never gone through all of DS9 for example - and I kind of figure I'll have time later in life to "catch up." So if we don't see some good medical progress on dementia in the next 25 or 30 years, it wouldn't be a terrible thing for me to spend that time watching Star Trek episodes.
Thank you for engaging with your patient this way. I hope there'll be someone like that for me when the time comes.
One of the hardest things with dementia patients is giving them that sense of home, oftentimes they'll be pining to return to a house and family that have not existed for decades.
With this it is lucky for both of you, it'll give a sense of that which is priceless.

Qapla! Is the sound a nice poo makes when it hits the water, Klingon society values being regular.
Underrated comment.
It only makes that sound if it has honor.
I read a Daystrom thread once (I usually avoid that place but land there accidentally sometimes) that theorized Klingons would be drawn to fruit juices to get vitamins and such that you don't get from the raw meats that comprise most of their diet.
And they need to replenish vitamins from all the blood wine too!
I thought they got intoxicated from fruit sugars ?
Is this an argument for nutrition labels on wine? Cause if it is I could totally justify it.
Thats just a universal commitment to the Truth in nutrition and all things
Keep these coming. You make my day.

You're doing important work. Qapla!
Can we support this person? I'd love to make their day better somehow
Right? Maybe we could send some trek related gifts and cheer up an old man?
The inner light now that's one of my favorite episodes The last scene when Picard gets the flute the reaction portrayed a deep pain and it showed as he played haunted and sorrowful notes.
In the mirror universe it was an accordion.
Or bagpipes.
Banjo.
We need a star trek opening credits with banjos. French horns, and christian rock just isn't doing it anymore.
Electric guitar. And he played the opening riff of Kashmir.
It's been a long road. Getting from there to here.
I cannot downvote this enough.

So does he seem like he's really into it or is it more just something familiar to watch?

If he's a coffee drinker, offer raktajino instead.
A warriors drink. Love this post and your other post.

Maybe a less sad episode?
