Mr.Picard 12 Posted February 13, 2008 Just watch the movie "LA Story" in which Mr. Stewart speaks English with a horrible French accent and you will know why they quickly dropped the idea of having Jean-Luc speak English with a French accent. <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Armstrong 0 Posted February 14, 2008 Wonder if Patrick could have done a passable German accent? My brother-in-law Harald (huge Trek fan) is always complaining that there are no German officers in Starfleet. "Ich danke Ihnen, Nummer eins." "Sie sind willkommen, Kapitänleutnant." <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Picard 12 Posted February 14, 2008 Well he has never played a German, so I don't really know... I'd sure love to find out, though. *hehe* I only know he has a heavy British accent when he tries to speak speaks German. <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Itchygomba69 0 Posted February 14, 2008 I never liked making him French, if he was french he would surrender right away in all his battles! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takara_Soong 4 Posted February 14, 2008 (edited) I'm going to have to re-watch the episode Family. I don't recall anyone that Picard encountered when he went home having a French accent. His brother and nephew certainly didn't have French accents. Whose to say what type of accents will still be around by that time.

Mr.Picard 12 Posted February 14, 2008 (edited) No one in his family had a French accent (well, except for his mother, perhaps... I don't know what kind of accent she has, all I know is that she does have an accent). Nor did his friend Louis. <_< Edited February 14, 2008 by Mrs.Picard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Update: I was watching some of my TNG DVDs tonight and in Tapestry Picard's father has a British accent. In Where No One Has Gone Before, Picard's mother has a French accent.
