What hidden significance lies behind the Star Trek: The Next Generation quotes featured in Star Trek: Picard season 2, episode 7? Rendered unconscious after a bump from the Soongmobile, Jean-Luc Picard finds himself stuck within his own consciousness. Only Tallinn the secret Romulan can pull him back into reality, by reaching into the sleeping Admiral's mind and comforting his younger self. Star Trek: Picard's tour through the psyche of Jean-Luc throws up childhood traumas, repressed ghosts, and even a few choice cuttings from Patrick Stewart's adventures aboard the Enterprise-D.

The next phrase echoing through Picard's mind was first spoken in «The Hunted,» "You are dangerous. They're only victims. You made them what they are. You asked them to defend your way of life and then you discarded them." The third quote, "I would rather die as the man I was than live the life I just saw," comes from Star Trek: The Next Generation season 6's «Tapestry.» All three are poignant pearls from the lips of Jean-Luc Picard, but none are chosen at random — each of the quotes bears a special significance to Star Trek: Picard season 2's main storyline.
