Jean-Luc Picard present in work All Good Things…
An encounter with an alien probe causes  Picard to become trapped in another life, the life of a scientist on his dying homeworld, in the Hugo Award-winning season 5 episode "The Inner Light". The episode has a scene where Picard plays an alien flute, which was critically acclaimed as one of the best scenes in the series. When the flute went to auction in 2006, it was suggested it could be acquired for US$300 (equivalent to $400 in 2021), but it went for $48,000 (equivalent to $64,500 in 2021). The flute reappears as a symbol of Picard's brief romantic bond with one of his officers, Lieutenant Commander Nella Daren, in the season 6 episode "Lessons", which shows Picard's melancholic struggles with maintaining a romantic life as a starship captain.Picard made his final appearance in Star Trek: The Next Generation on broadcast television with "All Good Things...", which was watched by over 30 million viewers.
