truly, i will never understand why, in s1ep3, picard decided to give raffi—a whole alcoholic —wine when he went to try and talk her into working with him again. there is no way he isn’t aware of her past, given their history, but even so. she’s clearly having a rough go of it when the audience meets her for the first time and his immediate thought is ‘let’s break out the drinks’ ???? huh. what is the motivation behind that action. and it’s like the writers weren’t even aware of how callous he came off there (and in subsequent eps—clapping after the emmy thing like bro? her friend just told her to never contact her again this isn’t a win? read the fucking room!) because the way that scene plays out is so slimey, strange and maddening. like is he going for blissful ignorance or is he actually just that callous that he doesn’t give a fuck about her well-being? because he was giving ‘neglectful user who wants her behind him no matter the personal cost to her’ and it was nasty

#the writing on this show is being held up by the sheer talent of its cast and it’s a lot #they never quite know what they’re trying to say wrt to addiction but s1’s handling of it is ROUGH #fucking abysmal #makes me very nervous to think about where they’re taking my girl in s3 #like she’s already on the brink how about we let her off this ride now thanks #they’re so fucking terrible at completing arcs in ways that invoke cohesive storytelling that it almost makes me laugh #’what are they going for’ my theme song no matter the season :/#also not gal palling emmy n her but that was supplental info i think lol #.rfi #rewatching #raffi musiker
