YOUTUBE VIDEO: "We Have No Law to Fit Your Crime" - Picard

Woah, I always heard the line as, "I am endowed as an immortal being with disguises and false surroundings." Oops!

I think the Dowd live a separate or very different life from the rest of the galaxy. He said he fell in love "with a human" as if it was unusual for a creature such as himself. I feel like Kevin's pacifist stance has a lot to do with his nature and point of view as an imortal, it could be a trait stared by his whole species/culture. Hopefully they don't tend to get involved with mortal affairs and have no reason to snap and wipeout a whole species.

"we have lovely tea here on Rana". Er, you did, but I think tea production is finished on your planet now 🤣 I think that comment goes to show how much she isn't thinking about what's happened and was "programmed" to just accept the situation and have faith in the future that Kevin wants for them.

You see guys: Picard had to stay and investigate who killed 11,000 people. It wouldn't have made sense to just leave! Sorry I just had to do that one more time.

I think the name 'Dowd' is a nod to the name of Jimmy Stewart's character 'Elwood P. Dowd' in the 1950 film 'Harvey', in which Elwood can see a 6 foot tall invisible rabbit, but no one else can. It is strongly hinted in the film that Elwood used to be very smart and cunning, probably a ruthless businessman, but at some point in his life it became too much, and he became a totally harmless and deceptively simple man that everyone thought went 'simple' and began imagining an amusing imaginary friend. I won't spoil the film, but it is far, far more lighthearted and comedic than this episode, however it does seem to very quietly and unapparent themes. I strongly suggest you check out 'Harvey', it's not science fiction but it is a bit of fantasy. I think you'd like it.

I ran into this a while ago and whenever I see the name Kevin now I think of this: https://www.reddit.com/r/ireland/comments/1128gyd/ffs_kevin_you_had_one_job/

Don't mess with Kevin!

Even though the godlike entity is powerful he is yet flawed with his emotions and the fact that he can learn from his mistake gives this episode some pure enjoyment.
