For decades, Jean-Luc Picard of 'Star Trek' has largely been presented as genteel and at times buttoned up. Now he's someone who has uttered the F-word for the world to hear. A healthy online conversation followed.
For nearly four decades, Jean-Luc Picard of"Star Trek" has largely been presented as genteel, erudite and — at times — quite buttoned up. Yes, he loses his temper. Yes, he was reckless as a callow cadet many years ago. Yes, he occasionally gets his hands dirty or falls apart.
"Part of Star Trek's appeal is the articulate way characters speak. Resorting to gutter language feels like a step backward since Star Trek's characters are meant to be better than this," John Orquiola wrote for the website Screen Rant on Sunday. "Everything you do as artists, as writers and actors, even as editors, is authenticity. That's the thing you want to feel," he told Collider."I was really torn because hearing that word come from your childhood hero, Captain Picard, it throws you. But wow, is it powerful."
"This isn't just a rethinking of a fictional world. This is the same actor and the same character in the same setting that we had before. And all these years, he has been speaking and behaving in a certain way," says Robert Thompson, director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture at Syracuse University.
