Happy Captain Picard Day
Happy Captain Picard Day
However, since around 2010, it's become pretty well engrained in fandom. And since 2013, Paramount has embraced it publicly. But I can't actually find any reference from before 2007 linking June 16th and Picard Day. You'd think there'd be something on Reddit or Usenet, but my searches came up empty.
Curious if anyone can find an older reference.
I've fallen down a rabbit hole of trying to find out why June 16th is #CaptainPicardDay. Or, more specifically, why and when that date was collectively agreed upon.
The short version is that it's based on converting the stardate in the episode "Pegasus" (47457.1) to a calendar date (which isn't something one can actually do, since stardates have never been used remotely consistently).
Some year, I hope I have enough time to make a cake for #captainpicardday - but this is not that year.
It's uh... for the children.
@GreatestTrek cancelled due to unfortunate association.
And now for bed.

Captain Picard's legacy reminds us of the power of diplomacy, empathy, and courage. His leadership has shown us that even in the face of adversity, there is always hope and a path forward. Let's honor his legacy by striving for a future filled with understanding, cooperation, and exploration. Make it so! 🌠 #StarTrek #PicardDay #Inspiration #FutureIsBright #PicardDay #ToBoldlyGo #UnityInDiversity #ExploreTheUnknown #Captain_Picard_Day #CaptainPicardDay
