“The Man Inside Me” by Tobias Fuenke
Thanks for reminding me it’s time for my annual rewatch of the first 3 seasons.
On a related note, Nana Visitor, after DS9 ended, had some difficulties with new roles. She was unwittingly channeling Kira and ended up being repeatedly told by the director to not. She also confessed to occasionally having Kira’s nightmares.
It makes sense. Picard as a character changed a lot over the series.
Unfortunately, as Patrick Stewart imposed his interests and personality on the character, Picard became less and less the cerebral captain whose leadership style I admired and wished to emulate.
I’m not sure Patrick Stewart has ever understood the qualities in Picard that captivate so many in the peak midrun of TNG.
Funny that so many of us resonate with “nerdy emotionally-distant lawyer dad” lol
I think Patrick Stewart might be more like Director Bullock from American Dad than Captain Picard.
“the more he became inside me”. Oddly arousing, number one.
