Captain Picard made a lot of crazy decisions Star Way: The next generation which varied from abandoning the destruction of Borga to allow a quick teenager to fly to the enterprise. Probably his most amazing choice stood nearby and did nothing until the ricker evaporated a relatively harmless killer. Fans spent years Trying to find out why Picard said nothing and did nothing in the culminating mode “revenge factor”, but it turns out the real reason he was standing, so as long as the ricker killed the woman, Patrick Stewart could not move or say anything so he did not ruin the optical.

In this episode, our unbridled crew reveals that it would seem like a young woman nicknamed Utah, in fact she is a murderer … One of the last of her kind, she is fully devoted to the destruction of the entire clan that killed her people. It moves to its goal until the ricker alternates, warning it and shooting with increasing phase blasters, eventually evaporating it, and the captain silently. The lack of Picard’s reaction at the end of the “revenge factor” is very strange, but later the director of Timothy Bond explained that he wanted the captain in the shot where Utah was killed, but that the optical effect requires it not to move.

As recorded in Captain magazines: Unauthorized Complete HikesBond was determined to make Picard in the most shocking scene “Revenge factor:” The moment that the ricker evaporates the killer. He thought the Captain’s presence “would be really careful”, but pulling out everything, “meant to put a few layers of elements in the shot, and in order for him to work properly, Picard had to remain motionless.” The director remembered that “not the reason” that Picard would sit and do nothing and that “when I saw it, I really regretted the decision.”

I wonder what the actor is Picard Patrick Stuart He was as distraught as the fans of his hero’s inaction at this culminating moment ‘Factor of Revenge’. According to Bond, the actor was very distrustful and asked, “I just have to sit here and do nothing?” While the director of the episode was remembered, he realized it, he originally thought it was the best course of action because “we knew that the ricker should kill the girl and we did not want Picard to remove the phase.”

Now that you are a Picard fan that spent decade After asking why he did nothing in the “Revenge Factor”, this explanation is probably unsatisfactory. Like, it made sense in terms of special effects, but just strangely, watching Picard sits there, and says nothing while the ricker talks and eventually kills Utah for four minutes. It turns out that Timothy Bond agrees, noting that “what I had to do is what you usually do – no need in his shot,” because “then the audience does not think:” Why does Picard respond? “

What makes it all even more crazy, this is something that the richer may not have to kill Utah … As when we see that she could not be dazzled by the lower institutions, the first officer worsened only twice before leaving his bolus. Maybe there was an installation between “stunning” and “evaporation” that could knock it out? Plus he had a laser gun, and she had only a glass, making it a clear and present threat that could not be captured much At best, fuzzy.

The moral thinking of the great moment makes the Picard silence and the inaction in the “revenge factors”, which is much more surprising. We now know that this intricate moment was caused by the captain’s necessity completely motionless during the optical effect. Unfortunately, this effect did more than killed Utah … In the eyes of many fans, he also killed Picard’s character, making him seem indecisive and just passive in the face of the first officer who killed anyone before him.
