Patrick Stewart explains Admiral Jean-Luc Picard’s controversial F-bomb, which was his own ad-lib in Star Trek: Picard season 3. In Picard season 3, episode 4, “No Win Scenario,” Jean-Luc recounts a story from his past to his son, Jack Crusher (Ed Speleers), where Picard and Jack’s namesake, Lt. Jack R. Crusher (Doug Wert) were lost in a shuttlecraft for “ten f***ing grueling hours.” While many fans applauded Picard’s realistic speech, others objected to Jean-Luc’s using that particular curse word, including Screen Rant, and it ignited an online debate about swearing in Star Trek.
