Still blows my mind that Roddenberry hated the script for “Family” and wanted it thrown away. Like it’s great that humanity has evolved past most interpersonal conflict. Picard has PTSD as he should for what he went through. Same reason for his perspective in “I, Borg” and “First Contact.” He is damaged. His scene with Sisko in “The Emissary” is so great because Picard feels like he deserves Sisko’s animosity. “Family” is one of my favorite episodes. Right up there with “Duet” and “It’s only a paper moon” for showing the emotional cost of war.
