Good thing she was out in the middle of nowhere so most people never saw it.

    Season 3 of Picard is more than a decade after Prodigy season 2. If a person can’t grown their hair out in 14+ years they need more than a follicle stimulator.

    But the scene did drive home that Ed Speleers looked incredibly old in 2501 for a child that was just gurgling when Westley visited in Prodigy season 2.

      He was old enough to ask Wesley what his name was though. It was really unclear to me how old Jack was supposed to be.

        Dude was 34-35ish playing someone 10 years younger. He gave a decent performance, but sorely miscast.

          Closer to 15 years younger unfortunately since Matelas insisted that it was still 2501. The makeup and cinematography unfortunately made him look closer to 40 at times. UHD can be very unforgiving but EPs casting are in denial.

          Speleers has made public that he read for the part of Jim Kirk for SNW, and I can really see how that would have worked.

            Thanks for the sobering correction. Reminds me of a latter day Simpsons moment I happened to catch:

            Bear in mind, this was aired in 2006.
