Why does Kirk like Saurian brandy so much, a drink that was made by a completely different species? Some people just have eclectic tastes, I suppose. Show 8 more comments. Active Oldest Votes. That's your wretched technology again. I kid, I kid So the answer does appear to be that to the extent that French culture still persists, Picard doesn't feel the need to stay within its confines and neither do most of his countrymen.
Improve this answer. TenthJustice TenthJustice That quip by Data about French never sat well with me, and seems out of place as just a cheap joke. In the episode "", Minuet speaks French to Picard upon learning of his French heritage. Given the uniqueness of her character, that may not mean much, but I take it as evidence that the French language may still be in use. As for the question at hand, I think it's more plausible that Picard had some sort of involvement with England during his youth and simply embraced the culture.
You say "The sole extent of his "Frenchness" appears to be that he was raised on a vineyard", but remember that he also swears in French. CharlesBurge I have a feeling the writers were trying to use the quip as a way to a explain away the entirely British-sounding man and b remind the viewer that Picard is meant to be French. Of course, in the end it just makes the whole thing seem sillier, so later on they just revert to the better option of just ignoring the issue altogether.
Excellent answer. I'm going to accept it, even though I think there might be more out there, primarily so the Hold doesn't automatically close the question and rob me of the opportunity.
I just remembered the early encounter with Q where he dresses up a bunch of conjured aliens as Napoleonic soldiers; I don't think theres any explanation there, just another off-hand reminder of Picard's nominal background TenthJustice That's exactly my point.
The computer program correctly deduced that Picard was able to converse in French. That wouldn't have been the case if French were a dead language. Even though the program was set in , it was smart enough to know it was interacting with a man of the 24th century. I stand by my point that French was most likely still widely spoken in France during Picard's lifetime, and Data's quip was simply out of line.
And in any case, to call French "obscure" is flat-out ignorant. We don't have the phrase "lingua franca" for nothing. Show 2 more comments.
