"'Cause through the drama, I can always depend on my mama"
This is probably just a poorly timed frame, but that looks like a McFadden stunt double or something.
Of course it's a double, noone would hug Wesley
May your wives be as horny as Lwaxana.
Carating the underlying sexism in the writers’ bible for Lwaxana’s character is not a way to make mothers feel appreciated.
Especially, when a lot of the joke was that she was chasing Picard - who avoided women who were mothers mainly due to his actor’s aversion to women his own age.
Picard was an age appropriate match for both Lwaxana and Beverly, both mothers.
Instead, due to Patrick Stewart’s interventions, we got Picard chasing after his much younger real life romantic interest who played Vash, and more recently Stewart’s attempts to shoe-horn in his very much younger wife into a closing scene for Picard.
Hey so I'm a woman who is almost 40 and I love Lwaxana. I also have a son if that's pertinent.
I think you're managing to miss that she was a revolution in television. She was a woman, who was allowed to be this bombastic, sexual person, and while others found her annoying, it put Picard, a man, in the position of having to play nice to the advances of a forward woman.
It flipped what was the norm right on its head, and it didn't shame Lwaxana, either. I adore the way Star Trek handled Lwaxana. She certainly was a lively, energetic, positive woman, even when she was much older than television likes to depict women now.
Sir, this is a starship
I thought the joke was that Lwaxana was a hippie free spirit that operated in an alternate society, while Picard was a prude, obsessed with appearances. They were, in a way, perfect complements for each other. This makes me feel glad I don't follow behind the scenes for any art I consume.
Bible?
That last paragraph reads like you had a sugar crash while writing it, or something.
