Enjoy your... ah. Just survive Monday, #StarTrek friends! Why is this meme implying that Trek did not properly document and cherish leprech-- I mean, Irish culture? <scratches head> #StarTrekMemes <ducks at sudden onslaught of...> I hope that's just displeasure and not... <screams and runs> 😉🖖

At the top is a photograph of Gene Roddenberry (ca. TNG era), creator of #StarTrek.

Below that is a photoshop of a picture of a man in a green suit and hat, with a tuxedo white shirt and bowtie, holding a green beer. He is st anding in a living room with a black wall to one side, with slits (AC?), the other wall with red brick decor and the lower edge of a flat screen TV as well as a collection of bottles on a shelf. The head from the above picture of Roddenberry is mounted over the head.

What would Star Trek be without stereotypes?

I’m still trying to understand how there are sensible, intelligent people who were involved with the Fair Haven episodes and… think they’re fine?
Modern Trek : "We will try to do better" Meanwhile, Picard season 3 depicting french childhood:

Not to mention manufacturing a childhood trauma that he never even hinted at, especially since we saw him hallucinating about his 100 year old mother pouring tea

Personally knowing survivors of trauma who struggle with repressed memories, I found it completely believable Picard could have repressed memories. By the time you make it to middle age, any remaining childhood memories tend to be memories of memories, not actual recollections of events.
I don't think it's a issue about repressed memories. This is more about the structure of the season : too short on this part, not enough elements to connect (for the viewer) / not organic enough ? A lot of things in the season jamming this part and the viewer conclude "this was just for a twist".
Trauma and suicide are often poorly handled (Voyager with Torres) in Star Trek. But Strange New World with Hemmer suiciding himself is a very bad example... The World Health organization have recommandations about suicide in media (prevention, messages...)
