For context, back in the 80’s, Betty White’s character (Rose) was fifty-five in Season 1. The youngest Golden Girl was 48. Back then, anything over forty was retirement home material apparently. I’m fifty and am pretty much the same guy I was at 25, doing the same things
Its not about looks when you talk about having kids at older age. Its about genetic risk factors, increasing the risk the pregnancy goes wrong or your child will have issues.
Like 99% of women have hit menopause by 55, and the number of births for mothers over 50 with no medical intervention in the conception process is extremely low. So low that Wikipedia has an article detailing specific women it’s happened to.
This wouldn’t be a huge deal, except a major plot point is that it was an accidental pregnancy neither of them planned for. So it’s not like she was getting any kind of fertility treatment.
While not impossible it just makes Jacks conception extremely unlikely
55 ain’t what is used to be. Jeri Ryan is 55 now.
So, misplaced timeline aside, Beverly “to blave” Crusher is not to be taken at her word.

It’s not even about that.

It’s the future! waves hands mysteriously
The fact Q shows up at the end to meet Jack makes me wonder if he had anything to do with the “accident”.

Then you saw her face?
That’s a awful smile
