HorusKol HorusKol That seems very plausible, thanks! There's an actual double facepalm in Voyager where Q calls himself as a witness and both of him facepalm in response to some statement by Tuvok. Funny that they didn't use that one for the meme. HorusKol is correct. Here is the original or near enough to it :. Rob Rob 4 4 silver badges 5 5 bronze badges.

A bold and decidedly strange episode, especially considering it was only the third offering in The Next Generation 's debut season, "The Naked Now" sees almost the entire crew become infected with a strange condition that appears to lower inhibitions and increase libido.
After Picard himself becomes afflicted, he has an up-close encounter with an also-infected Dr. Beverly Crusher. As the pair finally separate, a smitten crusher waves to her captain from the doorway before leaving. Trying to resist his unwelcome urges, Picard awkwardly and reluctantly waves back. It was an odd scene in a largely unpopular episode, but one that at least birthed a classic meme. The awkwardly waving Picard is usually deployed when saying hi to someone you really don't want to talk to.
The Next Generation 's Wesley Crusher character has been oft-maligned over the years. Played by a young Wil Wheaton, Wesley became a focal point for fan anger in the same way as Scrappy Doo or Jar Jar Binks and is often unfairly singled out. Nevertheless, it was still a little satisfying to hear Jean-Luc tell the boy genius to shut up in season 1's "Datalore. Wesley Crusher is the only one to see through the deception and repeatedly tries to voice his concerns with the rest of the crew, who become increasingly annoyed with his interjections.
Eventually, this leads to Picard's famous " shut up, Wesley " line, and while Beverly begins to defend her son, she then repeats it for good measure.
When meme culture took hold, " shut up, Wesley " became one of the quotes that started going viral, so much so that Wil Wheaton has lost patience with people who barrage him with the meme. Although it's fun to laugh about now, hindsight might also suggest that treating Wesley as The Next Generation 's verbal punching bag did little to help the character's popularity.
One of the lesser-used memes in Picard's repertoire, 'Giggling Picard' is another image derived from outtakes rather than actual The Next Generation footage.
The visual of a maniacal Picard looking like he just hid a dozen Tribbles under Riker's bedsheets is taken from the blooper reel of season 2. Jonathan Frakes fluffed his lines during a scene with Patrick Stewart and walked off-screen, prompting Stewart to pull the meme-worthy face of a man possessed with unbridled mischief.
This super-underrated episode finds Data under extreme suspicion for possibly trying to take over the Starship Enterprise and maybe erasing everyone's memories in the process. But because Data's programming and loyalty to Jean-Luc Picard and the rest of the crew is so hardcore, the twist of this episode isn't about Data going rogue. Instead, it's all about deep trust and understanding. Picard puts his life in Data's hands a lot in the TNG films, but in this subtle episode, the decision to trust Data has slightly larger consequences.
There's a lot going on in this episode: The Klingon Civil War, Picard dealing with the news that an alternate, time-traveling Tasha Yar had a baby with a Romulan, and, of course, Worf briefly no longer being a part of Starfleet. But there's a standout moment in this episode in which Picard almost doesn't give Data the command of one of the ships in his thrown-together space fleet.
Data stands-up to Picard for treating him differently than Picard would a human. It's a fantastic moment and really helps chart the moments when Jean-Luc starts to change his mind about artificial life. When Data's severed head is found buried underground, it appears that Data's eventual "death" will occur in his own future, but paradoxically, in Earth's past. This episode begins with Picard acting like an over-protective father to Data, trying to shield him from a time travel event that he can't possibly predict.
Though Picard is usually cool and rational, it's nice when he gives in to his irrational love for his robot bestie. Note: This two-parter is also an underrated epic that manages to showcase the entire TNG ensemble in an adventure where nearly everyone gets off the ship. When Picard realizes he can't leave the Enterprise-E before it is destroyed, he tells his 21st-century companion, Lily Alfre Woodard that there's someone he has to help.
Although each of the four TNG films manages to give Picard and Data great scenes together, First Contact is the one you must watch to understand what a great team Picard and Data really are. If you haven't actually seen the movie, let's just say the last ten minutes are shocking.
