My family's explanation for Picard's obvious Englishness despite being putatively French is that they were all in the Federation's Witness Protection Program. That fire that killed Robert and Rene? That was no accident.

Catholics aren't really that into Revelation and end-times stuff though — that's more of an evangelical thing. Once in a while Revelation comes up in the scripture readings for various feast days, but I've never heard a homily that made a big deal out of it.

That is exactly what happens in the season 6 premiere, as I recall — not a Damar-level beatdown, but I am pretty sure she does hit him. She also calls him out on thinking they're going to have "an intimate relationship," and he answers "We already do." It's super squicky
