I’d only watched bits and pieces of TNG before, but starting with the first episode…

No, his mom is a love interest for Picard, and he has a lot of affection for Wesley, but they are not related.

Iirc Picard knew Wesley's father, and the time he met Beverly was when he went to inform her of Wesley's father's death.

I don't think that's when he first met Beverly. Might have been when first met Wesley though.

Fairly sure Jean-Luc and Beverly have more history further back. ... Though I'm struggling to think of episode to cite that references their past. ... Maybe after this next watch through of all TNG, it'll refresh my memory.

Only in the sense that Picard hasn't shot him into the uncaring void of space on account of wanting to bang his mom.

The very measure paternal devotion

well, maybe kind of just a little bit his kid

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

That would be Jack Crusher. Picard does eventually have children just not in the TNG show

No. His best friend was Westley’s father. But things get… interesting in the Star Trek: Picard Series season 3

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

No. But let's just say Wesley's dad isn't who you think, and that his true biological father ghosted Beverly.

I stopped to say I fucking love this theory but yeah that'd be an insane thing to twist
