Re: TNG S5: The Inner Light

What gets me every time and makes me tear up is after Will leaves Picard's quarters. Jean-Luc takes the flute out of the case, the sole tangible token he has or ever will have that the "life" he lived on Kataan was REAL (i.e. not just some kind of hallucination), and he clutches it to his breast with both hands as if it's the dearest object in the universe. Wow. (And it was so thoughtful of the Kataanians to leave him SOME tangible object from his "life" there. Without it, he might perhaps eventually begin to wonder if it were all just a dream.)
