Amazing
Wow, an uncontacted tribe. There are evidently 100 of them in the world, with over 50 of these in Brazil. Can you imagine their conversations at dinner that night. This all seems a bit like something out of Star Trek. And, clearly, this photo-taking is a violation of the Prime Directive, and even though Piccard meant well, he will have to be reprimanded.
Seriously, though, wow!

Heidi, I am not quite old enough to be an original Trekky, though we did watch in Pakistan growing up. But the Next Generation (not in re-runs) was my show of choice in college. Piccard and Data were highlights, until they gave him real emotions. I didn' like that. I don't like to think that we are simply reducible to the sum or our parts. So, I guess I am a Trekky of sorts.
