Picard showing some pro skillz. Looks like someone is holding the flute for him haha. And notice how she tricked him into playing.
PART 2: • Star Trek Captain Pica... - Hudba
“They’re not made anymore.”
“Yes a long time.”
Heavy heavy lines since we know what he truly means by them.
man can you imagine trying to figure out how to answer those questions to someone who has no idea what they're really asking
I have the goosebumps. Then I read your comment to tell you that I have the goosebumps.
Picard lived 2 lives and also was connected to the Borg collective.
He has more life experience than anyone in history.
There could be a show dedicated to just studying his brain lol
Great words. I teared up watching because I remember the story. No way to tell her.
@@talkingbull10 That man... he still functions, can you imagine the mental gymnastics he had to perform to stay "sane?" Or at least functional? I'm a chronic illness patient, and I've lost my blinking mind. Picard, whatever they do to him in the "reboot" (yes please, poop further on my childhood and have starfleet officers say "f{_}ck" ....there ARE. FOUR. LIGHTS!
@@wren7195 are you saying he's FULLY FUNCTIONAL
She pushes Capt. Picard ever gently more and more out of his comfort zone. She was perfect for him. Trying that flute, knowing she couldn't succeed just to lure him into demonstrating it to her. Then gently nudge him into sharing music and emotions of a life time.
It would've been easier for Picard to never have such interactions and never be confronted with his locked up feelings. But if he was ever to open up, she was the perfect woman to guide him. I love Inner Light + Duet, it's a work of art and genius.
She wouldn't have gone near him anyway
I always wanted Nella to come back as I thought she and Picard were incredibly well matched
I know right... one see why Picard likes her She has all the best qualities that you'd see in a wonderful mother (possibly) of one's children. Nurturing, encouraging and kind.
She is probably my favorite match for Picard.
It’s so sad that she passed away at a fairly young age. I would have loved to have seen her reappear as her character on Picard.
Agreed
@@CaptainBlaine they would destroy the character in that garbage scow of a show.
Unfortunately we may never see another masterpiece of a show like this one.
I liked how she subtly asked to try the flute knowing it was just a way to get Picard to play.
And how after he fails the first time she suggest Frère Jacques to appeal to Picard’s French side. That writers really did amazing with this scene. Also just noticed that they turned down the ambient noise of the engines that’s present is most scenes in the series.
Did you know patrick stewart can play a lot of instruments, but the flute/recorder happens to one patrick stewart cannot play, so they had to get someone else to do it instead?
Well thanks for ruining that for me. Now i cant unsee that those arent his hands.
It's so beautiful seeing Picard opening his heart out to someone. Look at the smile on his face. :')
agreed....makes me so happy, his smile at the end...wish this vid had held on like an extra two seconds ^^
0:29 "they're not made anymore."
:(
It Definitely would have killed the mood if he would have told her they are from a long extinct civilization, that died When there Sun went supernova. For which I'd lived an entire lifetime In just a matter of minutes inside my head, so how was your day.
Darren was one of the best one-off characters ever on Star Trek.
Every time i unroll a flexable keyboard now i'm going to say "that's remarkable".
I was about to say. I'm pretty sure roll-up keyboards are older than this episode...
Maybe for the Federation such things as a roll-up keyboard were considered archaic thechnology. One can't see a lot of people running around with floppy disks nowadays either, so one would say it's remarkable to see it every once in a while.
every time i drove by the San Onofre nuclear power plant I said "Everywhere I look, something reminds me of her."
@@FarkasAbel91 yes. It would be akin to going to someone's house and seeing an old gramophone. You'd probably think remarkable even though older technology.
@@maddslothii2532 when i was stationed at Pendleton I used to think something similar.
The iron leader Picard's personality just turned soft like a child through his expressions.... Nicely thought off and directed scene.
I don't know why this scene is so lovely and amazing. She's casually trying to get closer to him and open up. And she uses all sorts of cute but sophisticated moves to get closer to him.
Picard's expressions after she complements him is like a child receiving praise from his mother. Lol.
yup, you figured out his type.
@@doormysh oedipus type?
that's one HELL of a kink
I think he nails this scene. Stewart is the master of getting the subtleties spot on.
I really didnt see it this way. He was getting praise from an equal that he could respect and more.
I wouldn't know, but it must be amazing to be in a relationship with someone when you both know how to play compatible musical instruments and have the ability to have wonderful moments like this.
I definitely have got to agree, this must be freaking crazy great feelings to be with someone that can have moments like this.
Yes it's pretty cool !
It is! Performing with my girlfriend are always moments I hold dear.
She was really, really good for Picard...what a kind lady who brought out something Picard did not often reveal.
I love the sequence of heavy piano chords she plays at 4:10, really brings the music to life. :)
I was just about to say the same until I read you post.
I've transcribed the piano and flute parts of this song on sheet music, if you'd like it :)
@@PythonRaptor Much appreciated but I never learned to play any instruments, much to my regret.
@@PythonRaptor Can you post a link the music? TIA.
@@MichaelPohoreski It's not online. If you give me your email, I'll send it to you that way.
RIP Wendy Hughes 1952-2014
What happened to her?
Cancer :o( She passed away last March.
Oh no.....very saddened to hear this....She reminded me of a music teacher who encouraged me to play....the style she used on the show with with just a simple melody that any good Frenchman like Jean Luc Picard would know, the song "Frère Jacques".
@@Maxx102 she fucking died?!
@@thenakedsingularity huge shocker to me too. Reminds me of my music teacher I had in elementary school
"You're not used to playing with anyone, are you?"
"Just the computer... "
"Hmmm... I may not be as precise as a computer but... I think you'll enjoy it more."
Sexual Tension... ENGAGED!!!
Bernard Manansala Make it so, Number 1
Sounds like something Geordi would take part in.
Bernard Manansala lol make it so
I play with my computer everyday, but it requires lots of clean up.
"And by the computer, I mean Data"
Oh lordy, that look on his face when he says he's been playing a long time.
+FallaciousScotsman A lifetime ago, a million miles away...
and that's how you fall in love...
2018 and I’m still reliving this episode. Great scene and acting and when I realize that Wendy Hughes is gone it brings tears to my eyes that our childhood heroes continue to leave us.
Sad she died from cancer. We'll always remember her fantastic role in Star Trek.
0:22 - "It's, ah... Ressikan..."
"I've never seen one before."
"They're not made anymore..."
Ouch. Fucking ouch. About one thousandth the follow up that "Inner Light" deserved, but still. Ouch.
"The Inner Light"....one of the best of all times.
My thoughts exactly. I suppose that was the most delicate way he could have put it.
Morgan Gendel, the writer of the "Inner Light" wrote a webcomic sequel of the episode called "The Outer Light" in 2012.
where!
This sentence made me spit out my bloodwine...
Everytime I see this episode tears come out of my eyes.
I'm glad someone also gets it like that
My favorite scene from one of my favorite episodes. I'm not sure why I enjoy "musical" scenes so much, but they really resonate with me. One of my favorites from "Voyager" was the Doctor and Seven of Nine singing You Are My Sunshine
I really enjoyed that scene too :).
Yes, they sounded great together.
Same as you. Also, there was an old movie from the 80s called Racing the Moon and there's a scene were Sean Penn teaches Elizabeth McGovern Heart & Soul on the piano and its the same feeling.

I couldn't agree more!
All these years later and I still live for those heavy chords @ 4:10
This show lead me to the piano, harmonica, trumpet, guitar and soon the banjo.
Music truly is the language of the soul.
Agreed! Those heavy cords could have turned into a late 60s 1970s jam with full on drums and electric guitar
2023 and im still here, I'll be here in 2043 snd ill still love this episode and the one it ties in with - The inner light
I found out recently that Wendy Hughes (Commander Daren) died March 8, 2014 after a battle with cancer. I never knew this, but it turns out that she was Australian. Her American english accent is very good.
Very sad.
That's very sad. She was a good character in a touching episode of this beloved show. This scene in particular shows the power of love and art to bring people together in harmony.
Some may say this notion to be cliched and hippyish, but it is something I believe in sincerely with the entirety of my being. May it be so in the world to come.
@@ebannaw sometimes the powerful points don't have to be complicated. They can be made very simply (even to the level of cliche) and straightforwardly, and hit hard and true, when they're about the basic drives of humanity. I remember during a shaky time in my life, I saw the Adam Sandler movie Click. Yeah that's right, an Adam Sandler movie. But it engaged, and shook me to the core.
"Pause playback." "Come!" All technology that exists in this day and age. Amazing.
On some days I can totally tear up from the beauty of this scene. It's so nice to get to see the tender, vulnerable side of Picard and how this she brings it out of him. Very very sweet. ❤❤☺
Best version of Frère Jacques
I ever heard.
Yeah, it is quite impressive indeed.
That's the beauty of really simple tunes. You can add all kinds of shit to them and not lose what was originally there.
It was better when he sang it climbing through the turbolift tube with three children
Nothing against Picard, but I would recommend that you listen to Mahler Symphony No. 1 Mvt. 3 before saying that.
@@Silavite congratulations on making me listen to classical style composition. But it is a rather dark interpretation of such a light childrens' song until about half way through when it becomes some kind of Russian melody?
Patrick Stewart's various facial expressions -- delight, confusion, 'yes, ma'am', WTF -- proves that he's a consummate actor. He didn't need pages of dialogue, grand gestures or a CGI soundstage. All he needed was a look.
“Have you been playing long?”
....”Yes. A long time.”
Oh, if she only knew!!! 😉
Picard is my favorite Captain, unlike Kirk who goes after the ladies, the ladies come swarming to Picard, and he acts all cute and shy lol, with the exception of his younger days pre-faux heart ahahahaha!!
Kirk was also kinda, risky. But he was a good captain none the less.
Riker was worse at going after the ladies than kirk ever was
Kirk had plenty throwing themselves at him
Benjamin Sisko.
And the second is Jonathan Archer.
Picard learned to play the flute in 20 minutes. What a captain!
Watch "The Inner Light." He literally played that flute his entire life.
I think he has and that was the joke.
Yees and his literal lifetime really literally happened in 20 min, while 'sleeping', as we know! :>
3:29 it's funny when you realize that those are not his hands playing. it just looks super weird
Yeah thanks for pointing that out...
Best not to mention it then as noticing it detracts from the scene
They literally look like they're backwards
Imaginations, and believing he does play, makes the scene better.
ARGH! I CAN'T UNSEE.
I actually cried while I watched and listened, it touched my heart
Will he EVER take the effing price tag off it?!
Are you being serious or is that a joke.
OMG that's hilarious. I laughed so hard I spat out my piece of apple I was chewing on. Bravo!
Acharacle & Achiltibuie its good yo
@@SolarDolphin. What do you think? Of course he's serious.
he wants people to know how much it means to him
Teachers at school should be like this woman...
Frederick Schenk Of course, the problem are the kids, not the teachers... Poor teachers, these evil kids don't want to learn! Now serious, if a kid don't want to learn and get bored, it's not his problem, he is being forced to go to school!!! The problem comes from the educational system and from the teacher.
Frederick Schenk The main issue is to force kids to learn. That's how they don't want to learn. And all the teachers should understand that.

I'm not sure what this has to do with Star Trek, but I disagree. First off to tell if the child truly learned anything is very subjective. I did pretty well in school (I was tested as gifted) in any case I was able to recite facts, at the time of the tests, but today I for the life of me can't remember those facts, because that's all they were...facts. There is no way to quantify whether the child has really "learned" anything with our current mode of testing. And putting another restriction on children is another means of control. I don't want to go off on a rant here, but haven't we as a society had enough restrictions put on us? We Americans were getting too liberal about our civil liberties. The government tried to control society in the late 60' early 70's but the masses resisted. so how do you get the keys to the castle? You capitalize of a huge tragedy and have the masses give you the keys. I used to be able to walk my sister to the gate at the airport to see her off, not anymore, I used to go to the government building (my bank is located there) and go through a metal detector, now I have to take off my shoes, belt, (I figure soon were're going to have to strip butt naked and still walk through a metal detector to get into any Government building). We have enough control. All I did with my children was instill a love of learning at an early age, praise them when they were learning their ABC's, had them read me a bedtime story, and so on. Now my son is in College, and my daughter is a Sophmore in high school and an A-B student. I don't think I did anything any reasonable parent didn't or hadn't.
One of those episodes that I never wanted to end. :)
This scene oozes depth and conveys emotion succinctly. Just their expressions carry more resonance than Discovery dare ever dream.
Roll-up piano? Yes, remarkable in a retro way. Now a laser piano, that's where it's at.
the foot pedal might been tucked in there in order to make that such sound on the piano.
i think i know why patrick stewart is smiling here a bit more than he is suppose to in the script, i think his hands in the complicated parts are just a bit darker :) . but still the inner light was a mastepice for all to remember
Ran Riegler I mentionned it the video description :)
ohh ya , now i read it. sometimes all we remember from a past series is one melody in one master peace , the series is called the next generation and the chapter 25 this one is all about family and making a next generation
Even the fake hands aren't playing the right notes. Not even close.
You people are nit-picking the shit out of this scene and you can't even spell MASTERPIECE!!!
thanks for correcting me . in star trek there was global translator , on the internet there is google translator , حمار
Best version of Frère Jaques I've ever heard. There is a rollout piano available now, although the speaker housing is much bigger.
Thats why that piano was so remarkable.
And that piano now exists, like many things Star Trek predicted.
When a Science Fiction show often predicts technology, that gentlemen, is True Science Fiction.
And there is nothing like this anymore.
really? like you can roll it up and put it in your pocket? i never saw that before.
@@GalliadII The sound isn't as good, but yeah, there are rollup pianos. One of my students brought one to school a while ago.
They existed in the 80’s. So it’s not a prediction at all. They sounded like crap. The idea that one would exist that sounded like an actual piano 200 years in the future doesn’t take much imagination.
You can pick another example of my point if you don't agree with this one.
There are many more.
The smile on Patrick Stewart’s face is so beautiful and real.
Frère Jacques...
Jacques Picard is the real life winery (champagne), whereas Jean-Luc's brother is named Robert.
This is going around in circles.
I get tears in my eyes each time i see this scene .
Not to mention later on when they're playing in the jeffries tubes, and he brings out "The Inner Light"
Sad she died in 2014.
@@JackgarPrime but you mentioned it ? lol
Charm seeps from every frame. We really had no idea what they'd do to our favourite show did we? Oh, and wasn't Wendy Hughes beautiful? 💔
I feel exactly the same way. I still remember watching it for the first time totally engrossed by it. It was surprising to me how attached I became to the character Daren and how I felt a personal joy for Picard knowing he finally found someone he could share his experience with. Just wonderful.
"You're not used to playing with anyone, are you..." Indeed.
the cool thing is those roll up pianos now exist!
The success of romance-of-the-week storylines is really on the backs of the casting director and actor. The chemistry here sparkles and the music is delightful. Magnificent scene. This episode inspired me to get a piano and learn to play a little. RIP Wendy Hughes 😢
First time I see Picard flustered!
I love this episode. 3:19 Picard's Face... Shit just got Real!
Duet when they’re in the Enterprise Jefferies Tube is my fave moment for Picard and Nella Daren.
Had forgot this scene. They practiced before they got to that epic romantic moment. Understated seeming, but man, it meant a lot of me.
This Is Star Trek! Persons, stories and characters above all!
One of my favorite episodes and favorite scenes, I always come back to it.
It always hits me when Picard is terrified that he lost Darren then relieved he didn’t then devastated again knowing he has to give her up. There are few times we see Picard more vulnerable.
I wish I had her as a music teacher
Rather than an astrophysicist, Nella reminds me more of a music teacher I had in primary school. This is one of my favorite episodes. It is so nice to see the otherwise serious and dedicated captain Picard open his heard to a wonderful lady....
Picard acts as widower (whom in fact ... he is), unwilling to disgrace memory of beloved, long deceased wife....
he is?
from who
@@basteagui from the episode where he got the flute. He lived a whole life on the planet
@@ladylauramal i think i hadn't watched that episode 2 months ago lol.
i have watched it since
I absolutely loved the two of them together
When Picard is learning to play the flute on Kitaan, “Frere Jacques” was one of the songs he played. Had to smile when he smiled when she started playing it.
Glad they spent the time to do this scene. It's really lovely.
Amazing scene, one can see emotions flowing though the air between those two.
RIP Wendy Hughes (1952 - 2014)
Sad they could never be together. Their love was a brief moment in time, but it was worth the heartache.
From my favorite episode of TNG. “The most...human” of the episodes beside Inner Light.
As a fellow lover of these episodes, what do you think about the one with the guy with the symbiotic relationship with the space whale, that ended up going to live inside it? Any way you describe it it sounds absurd, but that ep overcame the cheesy barriers and touched me.
"You are definitely better than you think"
These seven words may cause somebody will fall in love with you.
It wasn’t till recently that I realised those weren’t Stewart’s hands 😂
God dammit Mr. Plinkett
even though it isn't his arms, I love their duets! it must have been hard to keep a straight face with a guy practically in your lap playing the flute for you lol
I came here thinking that's all the comments would be saying. Like nearly noone seems to have noticed! I can't watch the scene without crying...from laughter.
Seeing Picard smiling cause of pure joy may be on of the rarest things seen on the whole show and you can literally feel that this is what he loves.
4:10 Cmdr Darren - She drops the bass like an OG!
Peace to the great Wendy Hughes
Such a beautiful scene.
The callback to The Inner Light episode was heart warming to see. The episode clearly meant a lot to the writing staff and Patrick Stewart. It makes sense the experiences of living another life would stick with Picard forever.
I feel they were communicating so much just with the music. Pain, loss grief and overwhelming joy.
This video is great! at 4:25 when he freestyles a little bit with the notes its so freaking sick! Love it!
Just one more episode... come on, Paramount. Let Picard retire and marry Captain Nella Daren (I know she was a Lt.Cmdr. on the show, but let her get f*cking promoted!). Or better yet, find a way to resurrect Eline of Kataan so he can marry her.
You already showed us his future marriage to Beverly Crusher fails, so give the bald guy a happy ending.
I watch amazing episodes like this and mourn over the dumpster filth being passed off as Star Trek now.
Borg: Music is irrelevant.
"The are not made anymore", just something I picked up along the way. lol
Very nice ! Thanks for posting !
brings me to tears
This is such a beautiful scene!
His playing the flute alone is symbolic of his lonely life. The flute represents the Enterprise which is the instrument he breathes into amidst the vacuum of space, and which transforms his oxygen into the music of his command. His music alone is good, but playing with her made him realize that love could unlock so much more of his music, and amplify it to levels he couldn’t have imagined.
Good bye Wendy Hughes (The piano woman actress)
It was nice of that hairy armed man to hold the flute for him while he blew into it 😞
I like this scene so much, it probalby only works if you know his character by now, but if you do, it is very impactful in it's subtilety and just beautiful.
This is incredible
I want to see Picard playing his Ressikan flute again sometime in 'Picard' Season 2.
Fuck, remembering just how good this show is brought a tear to my eye. Every week waiting for the next episode, hearing that guys voice on the preview commercial say "on the next episode of star trek, the next generation...." really do miss that....
Such a fantastic moment. Both sad and triumphant. For that few minutes the people lived, and Picard could be sad and thankful they existed
0:32 Now that is some expert acting by jean luc picard.
That was awesome, thanks for sharing. 🙂
This is the kind of scene you won't see in most sci-fi series. And what creates emotion. This brings tears of joy to me every time

Watching this without the rose glasses makes me realize that definitely wasn't his hand playing the flute
Stage hands
How nice that the Bandi were able to branch out after Farpoint.
Lmao 🤣 you can tell it’s someone else’s hands playing the flute 🪈 an you can see it in Patrick Stewart’s face he’s trying not to laugh his all off 😂
I love it. One of the best.
This is not a duo, it's a trio.
Loved this episode
