Does Picard have a “falls in love with something clearly not real” moment? Can’t remember

We've talked about Captain's Holiday and I'm still not convinced Risa isn't just an elaborate holodeck facility, I was genuinely expecting that to be an act 3 twist.

The perpetual space-bachelor thawed out the Bene Gesserit peace concubine and everyone just accepted it was an accident.

No one batted an eye that the Federation is complicit in the (funny forehead)human trafficking of a bangmaid to a government official for political favors.

I mean they let Worf kill people constantly because he kills the right people but jeez.

Here's how much life in ordinary life sucks vrs life on the Enterprise (TNG):

1. No haircuts from alien
2. Nobody cares about my emotions
3. No notice that there will be death
4. Only death
5. Only aliens get promoted for shooting me in the loving face, not human police officer

Picard encourages her to be herself rather than forming herself into what he wants, so it doesn’t have the same mega creepy vibe as the other romances. Kinda counts though

Technically Eline (TIL wife) is the one. She was real but for JLP she was akin to holographic.
Like, Leah Brams is real too, but Geordi falls in love with one that doesn't exist.

In which the living embodiment of telling men what they want to hear ends the episode by telling a man exactly what he wants to hear, and we're supposed to take that at face value.

My favourite part of that episode is that the guy she's marrying is all "I'm not really into the creepy sex empath thing I'm just here for the politics" which is kind of exactly who you'd want her to end up with anyway?

No wait my favourite part is where because she can't be around men so they lock her up all alone in her quarters instead of e.g. sending pointedly heterosexual Dr Crusher by with a bottle of wine and some true crime box sets.

In this episode of Voyager, "Gravity", some alien lady falls in love with Tuvok and Tuvok's like "I'm married", and both her and Tom act like he's a giant rear end in a top hat for being faithful to his wife.

Oh man I thought this was a funny quip but I looked it up and it's quite literally how the episode took shape. I bet he must have told them it couldn't be a holodeck deal but had to be a real thing that happens to Picard.

She's absolutely hype for her slug bud to get a new body until the body walks in without a dong and her face falls four floors. That episode is why I'm referring to her as "pointedly heterosexual". Whatever back pedalling occurs in the final scene it's pretty clear from the previous bit what her actual problem is.

I know that Jonathan Frakes was annoyed that his love interest in "The Outcast" was played by a woman. While the character would have been the same either way, he felt the message would have been stronger if the actor was a man.

He was right, although Rick Berman was correct that the network would have thrown a shitfit if they had two male actors kissing in what, ‘93?

Nah, he would have said something psychotic like "That dick is more beautiful than an Antaran sunrise," and it would've worked because people in this universe flirt at a sixth grade level.
