      And even referring to Jack, “We had no other children” would be true.

        Right, Jack is the result of Picard and Beverly finally getting together after the events of Nemesis and Insurrection.

        Now, that does make Beverly 55+ when she had him. But future medicine and all that I guess?

          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.

            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.

              It’s not even about that.

              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.

              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pregnancy_over_age_50

              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

                Considering it’s kind of the whole plot of Picard season 3, then yeah, it’s common knowledge.

                Fuck yeah, go watch Picard S3.

                It was a fun ride.

                You don’t really need to watch the other two seasons first if you don’t want to; the only thing you won’t have is the backstory on why the hell Picard knows Seven and who Seven’s kinda girlfriend is.
