Popular Culture reference

Captain Picard makes a brief reference to a William James in Star Trek The Next Generation, episode Samaritan Snare. Found a clip on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KO8LnGDKcdk I might add it in but it doesn't seem noteworthy, and I might be biased being a ST fan.

epistolary talent

Under Early Life the family of William James is described to have "epistolary" talent. The use of this adjective appears pretentious. The explanatory pop-up window refers to epistolary novels and makes sense for novels, but not as an explanation for talents. It is not clear to me what the author intends to say and either ought to be deleted of improved upon. Hskoppek (talk) 07:35, 27 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
