Today’s Totally Random
Line(s)
There is a tide in the affairs of men,
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat;
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.
-Jean Luc Picard
Star Trek: Picard Final Scene
Leave
it to Patrick Stewart to end the show, the series, the whole deal, with
Shakespeare. I watched the finale of Star Trek: Picard last night and I was not
disappointed. In the final scene, before they all sit down to a game of cards,
Jean Luc offered a bit of Shakespeare, which I’ve given as Today’s Totally
Random Lines, as his toast to the crew.
Was he talking about what they had gone through as the crew of the Enterprise? Or was he talking about what he, Patrick Stewart, and the other actors there had gone through portraying those roles over the past 35 or so years. Probably a bit of both. Either way, it’s a great, and wonderfully appropriate, quote.
No pic today. Perhaps, just read the quote one more time. (It's Marcus Brutus from Julius Caesar, Act IV, Scene iii, in case you were wondering.)
