In the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation, Wesley Crusher first arrived on the Enterprise-D with his mother, soon after Captain Jean-Luc Picard assumed command.

Picard soon appointed Crusher as an acting ensign.

This is the last that is heard of Picard who disappears soon after until his return from a French South Sea buccaneering expedition in 1685.

Picard is overcome by irrational emotions of fear and anxiety, indicating that he has been infected, and Data suggests he might soon de-evolve into a primate similar to a lemur or marmoset.

Minister Lorin of the Prytt informs Picard and Crusher that they are being held because of suspected conspiracy with the Kes, and that the devices in their necks will soon reveal the truth.

The ship is practically empty, because Captain Jean-Luc Picard has granted shore leave to all personnel.

At the end of January 1546, Pierre Ameaux, a maker of playing cards who had already been in trouble with the Consistory, attacked Calvin by calling him a " Picard ", an epithet denoting anti-French sentiment, and accused him of false doctrine.

Picard finds a hole in Soran's shield, but is too late to stop him from launching the missile.

Picard asks for help from an " echo " of Guinan in the Nexus ; she sends him to meet Kirk, who is also safe in the Nexus.

Kirk is mortally wounded from the encounter ; as he dies, Picard assures him that he helped to make a difference.

Picard and a team attempt to reach engineering to disable the Borg with corrosive coolant used in the warp core, but the android Data is captured and meets the queen of the Borg collective, who gains his trust by giving part of him human skin.

As the Borg continue to assimilate, Worf suggests destroying the ship, but Picard angrily calls him a coward and vows to continue the fight.

As Cochrane, Riker, and engineer Geordi La Forge prepare to activate the warp drive on the Phoenix, Picard confronts the Borg Queen and discovers she has grafted human skin onto Data, giving him an array of new sensations.

In the series finale, " All Good Things ...", Q gives Picard a " helping hand " in saving humanity by helping him figure out what is causing " anti-time " to flow into the universe which will invariably stop humanity from ever being born.

Upon learning this, Picard decided he wanted Geordi on his next command (" TNG ": " The Next Phase ") which ended up being the Enterprise-D where Geordi was assigned to him as a helmsman.

In the TNG episode " Heart of Glory ", Captain Picard keys the main viewer to Geordi's visor allowing him to see the way he does.

However, Kirk is mortally wounded ; as he dies, Picard assures him that he helped to " make a difference ".

An alien known as The Traveler expressed to Captain Picard ( who was told not to tell Dr. Crusher ) that Wesley had a unique intelligence and great potential if provided encouragement and opportunity, comparing him to a child prodigy like Mozart.

In a scene deleted from the movie, Captain Picard asks Wesley if he's excited to serve on board the USS Titan ( Captain Riker's ship ), and Wesley tells him that he will be running the night shift in Engineering.

After convincing one of the Son ' a, Gallatin, to help him, Picard masterminds a ruse to transport Ru ' afo and the Son ' a to the giant holoship, delaying the destructive metaphasic process.

Picard follows him and manages to activate the self-destruct, destroying the Harvester and killing Ru ' afo.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard of Star Trek is named for one or both of him and his twin brother Auguste-in fact, it was sometimes hinted that the character may be descended from the scientist.

Adding to Sisko's discomfort is the presence of Jean-Luc Picard, who briefs him on his mission.

Gowron ( Klingon-ghawran ) first appears in the episode " Reunion " as the main rival of Duras for the succession of the post of Klingon Chancellor K ' mpec, who suspects that one of the two had been poisoning him and appoints Captain Jean-Luc Picard as " Arbiter of Succession " to determine who will follow him.

Nordstrom enlists the aid of his friend and French agent André Devereaux ( Frederick Stafford ), encouraging him to accompany his daughter Michèle ( Claude Jade ) on her honeymoon with journalist François Picard ( Michel Subor ) as a premise to get him to New York.

Dathon tried to recreate this event between him and Picard on El-Adrel, hoping that their shared adversity would forge a friendship where words had failed.

Picard refuses, but when he is told she wants him to give away the bride he changes his mind, saying, " Nothing would please me more than to give away Mrs. Troi.

MIT has also contributed significant research in this field, notably Things That Think consortium ( directed by Hiroshi Ishii, Joseph A. Paradiso and Rosalind Picard ) at the Media Lab and the CSAIL effort known as Project Oxygen.

Chief Engineer La Forge and Worf work on a way to disable the Tamarian's scattering field to beam up Picard, while Troi and Data work on deciphering the Tamarian language.

The Enterprise fires on the Tamarian ship, disabling the scattering field, and beams up Picard.

This follows from the previous result, using the fact that the Picard group of a curve is the points of its Jacobian variety, an abelian variety of dimension g, and if n is coprime to the characteristic then the points of order dividing n in an abelian variety of dimension g over an algebraically closed field form a group isomorphic to ( Z / nZ )< sup > 2g </ sup >.

If a given vector field is Lipschitz continuous, then the Picard – Lindelöf theorem implies that there exists a unique flow for small time.

* Episode 13b-Pointman or Picard The other version of episode 13 originally only to be released to members of the Xbox Ottawa website follows a green team field inspector on a mission to see how green team is doing.

Armus is riled to a point where the energy field is dissipated enough, allowing for Picard, Troi and the pilot to be safely beamed back to the Enterprise.

* The invertible sheaves on projective space P < sup > n </ sup >( k ) for k a field, are the twisting sheaves so the Picard group of P < sup > n </ sup >( k ) is isomorphic to Z.

In the cases of most importance to classical algebraic geometry, for a non-singular complete variety V over a field of characteristic zero, the connected component of the identity in the Picard scheme is an abelian variety written Pic < sup > 0 </ sup >( V ).

The following movie, Star Trek Nemesis, begins with their wedding on board the Enterprise-E. By the end of the film, Riker finally accepts a promotion to Captain and an offer to command the USS Titan ; during the movie's final scenes he bids Picard, and the Enterprise, farewell.

To help combat this threat, Quinn offers Picard a promotion to Admiral and to oversee Starfleet Academy, which would place Picard near Quinn at all times.

Belgium's French Community gave full official recognition to Picard as a regional language along with Walloon, Gaumais ( Lorraine ), Champenois ( Champagne ) and German Frankish in its 1990 decree.

Picard assures him that all questions will be answered " in good time ", but that their current situation is very tense and requires Picard's full attention.

Riker realizes that the entire " future " he has been experiencing is a charade and confronts Picard and Tomalak on the Enterprise bridge, where more proof that none of this is real arises ; Data cannot make a calculation that he should be able to make with his positronic brain, and then he uses a contraction, which Riker knows full well that he cannot do.

The simple theme that Picard plays on the flute was later developed into a full orchestral suite for the 30th anniversary of Star Trek.

Here, however, n no longer needs be integer or positive, and is a continuous " time " of evolution for the full orbit: the semigroup of the Picard sequence has generalized to a full continuous group.

While Picard and Riker conceal themselves, Worf and K ' Ehleyr, clad in full traditional Klingon command uniforms, appear as captain and first officer of the Enterprise, informing Captain K ' Temoc of the T ' Ong that the war is over and ordering them to surrender.

Q guarantees Vash's safety ; with that, Picard considers Q's debt paid in full.
