At least in part!

This is one of my top 10 episodes in the series

Charlotte Hammond

same 9 year old me found it boring. now i bawl every time

Charlotte Hammond

i lost my shit when lower decks did that thing they did

Charlotte Hammond

this episode is amazing but you nailed it how funny it is when very embroiled in france, jean luc's accent omg

Charlotte Hammond

yeah it makes sense in hindsight

Charlotte Hammond

also, after seeing this a bajillion times... the use of color. omg. picard wears tan or blue or green - all the lower colors- but not red until he goes home. guinen and worf's mom in purple talking about prune juice. robert picks flowers that match marie's pink dress. it is so well done . edit: lewis (louis?) ocean guy wears blue and talk to picard when he is also wearing blue.

Whatever you guys end up doing, at this point I have come to enjoy. So I don’t say anything anymore, just enjoy the ride. It always works out for good, or you guys make an adjustment to things. Appreciate it!

Gorgeous Grumpy Old Men of Wrestling

This is an episode I appreciated a lot more when I got older. 11 year old me didn't appreciate it when it first aired. Picard breaking down after the fight is a powerful moment.

Nope, all going to be one video

Sam Langanke

So you don't split it in three parts anymore?

One of my favorite episodes of TNG. It didn't make the edit, but I loved the comedic beat of "There's just one thing I don't understand... you were always such a rotten swimmer, Louis." It never fails to make me smile, esp. seeing Patrick Stewart's huge grin. Also, I find it hilarious that almost every French character has a British accent (the holographic characters in "We'll Always Have Paris" don't count). Given Gallic pride in their language, it amuses me to think that the linguistic shift over several hundred years turns them English. BTW, Wolf 359 is a real star, and IIRC the 4th closest one to Earth/Sol. So the Borg incursion happened right in our backyard, cosmically speaking.

Brent Spiner makes up for not being in this episode very soon.

Ron Hubbard Jr

I see "Family" as the third part of "The Best of Both Worlds".

Ron Hubbard Jr

I think this episode established the "personal" continuity of the individual characters that Trek has been known for ever since.

Ron Hubbard Jr

This episode finally established that O'Brien is an enlisted crew member, not an officer. His rank is the same as a Chief Petty Officer (E-7) in the US Navy.

Ron Hubbard Jr

If Season 4 had a single theme, "family" would definitely be a contender.

Ron Hubbard Jr

Thirty-five years of hindsight really makes some of these TNG episodes even more significant.

Ron Hubbard Jr

Continuity definitely becomes a thing in season 4.

Blu Holbein

By the time the punch comes we were all ready to punch Robaire

Colby Scovil-Turton

Yah my French roommate would just start cooking dinner the same time I went to bed.... wtf it's 10pm

D Jammers

"...and you want to be my latex salesman."

Darin Wagner

A milestone. The first time a Star Trek show got a fourth season.

JD Nevesytrof

I kind of wanted a huge obvious ADR of Josh going "REWRITER'S ROOM" over the mention of "Gripes and Groans" in the discussion

Lou Trek

It is common in France to eat dinner at 8PM or even later.

Josh (Target Audience)

Watching family with the family! Fitting!

Bagofsoup

Haven't watched yet. Waiting to get home and watch with the family. We give you guys a hard time sometimes, but thanks for the hard work!

Kurt Linke

You guys should take into account Jack Crusher didn’t know these were the last and only words he’d get to say to his son. It’s basically in what he assumed would be many video birthday cards. Also, is there anything more Klingon than having been raised in Russia?
