crazyjetty:ayellowbirds:naidje:happy-kirk:iconicgoddammit jean lucpoor dang Reg.Reg had such a hard time. It’s no wonder he had anxiety issues. If it was horrible, freaky, or weird, then OF COURSE it would happen to Mr Broccoli. In this instance, Picard thought he was being inclusive and friendly, by using a mean name that he was *told* was a friendly nickname. But instead, Reg who had no clue people were calling him this behind his back, now feels he’s not important enough for The Captain to remember his name. He’s afraid of transporters. She what happens? OF COURSE he’s the one who sees monsters in the matter stream. OF COURSE no one else can see them. OF COURSE no one believes him. They come across an alien probe. OF COURSE he’s the one that gets mutated into a super being. The hypochondriac Red gets a cold. OF COURSE it reacts to his genes poorly, and mutates him into a spider. OF COURSE it’s now contagious and mutates the rest of the crew. OF COURSE he now has a disease named after him.Right? Real whipping boy for the writers. But IIRC in this scene Picard had just heard the name, and discreetly reprimanded his crew for using the nickname. And then he says it as a slip of the tongue, not even immediately processing that he said the word. -- source link
