true. But I also bear in mind that not once did we ever see Worf hold any grudge over any of this Wouldn't it be great to have a 'Worf' in ur life to rely on?
I think Worf knew his job was to propose the militaristic option, so that it was aired and considered, even if he knew it was unlikely to be taken. And he was fine with that...most of the time.
Either you take the advice of the head of a department, ore you replace them if they dont function according to standards. Just ignoring their expertise over and over and over again is not the way to go. Also, Worf was so often right about situations being unsafe.

Let's just call the Laris abandonment what it really was: Bad Writing. Picard seemingly forgot she existed, which was entirely out of character for him. No, he didn't forget, the writers did.
Actually, no. Terry Matalas didn’t have any money left to bring back the Laris actor. In fact, he planned to bring back Ro alived in the finale but again had no money. A bit of dialogue mentioning her could have sufficed.
This is simply because each episode, not including 2-parters, is written not to be a serial story, so if you're a first time trek viewer you can watch the episode and feel like you understand what's going on. DS9 broke this trend as it slowly becomes more and more story driven and thus serialized from season 2 onward.

If a single captain can violate the Prime Directive nine times in less than five years while having an acceptable reason for every single one of these instances, the Prime Directive is a bad directive.
But also none of these violations have brought any reprimand to said captain. I think the prime "directive" is actually more of a guideline and "violating" just means it has a lot of exceptions
It's a great directive, it's just poorly applied. The idea is to avoid contaminating pre warp civilizations culturally, which is wonderful. But obviously there needs to be exceptions and nuance. If you can save them from extinction you do it while trying as hard as you can to avoid them seeing you do so, even to your own peril. Just sticking to the letter of the law and watching innocent people die isn't noble, it's cowardice.
A couple of the highest items were direct results of cavalier script writing in Picard, where one season brought up “big questions” and the next one walked right on and focussed on its own ideas. I’m still grieving over the lost potential.
@@gabelogan5877 I vote for a fan re-edit with all the fakery we can muster in 10 years, and redoing that whole show properly. Rip up the script and do a Snyder cut or whatever.
You missed one of my favorite examples of Picard's lack of care for his crew. In the episode Schisms, Lt. Hagler is kidnapped from the Enterprise in an episode where a lot of crew are taken by aliens and returned. Upon Haglar's return, he has Dr. Crusher strolls down to his quarters. No medical team, no security team, just Beverly Crusher. After a few minutes of Dr. Crusher examining the guy, Picard finally sends people down to Hagler's quarters, him and Riker. But still no medical teams or Security. Lt. Hagler dies. Picard makes a Captain's Log stating everyone is "safe and accounted for". After which, the senior staff is having a briefing and Riker blurts out Lt. Hagler is dead.
You are forgetting 3 key big mistakes that Picard made in just ONE episode, which was in the episode Q-Who: 1. Picard acts arrogant towards Q who only wants to guide them to the unknown, at this point it's already clear Q has no hostile intend. 2. After Q swings the Enterprise to system J-25, Guinan immediately suggest to Picard to get away from there as quickly as possible, but he didn't. Apparently he forgot what Q said about "Terrors that freeze your soul". 3. Eventually during combat with the Borg Cube the Cube goes into hibernation mode. Even though this is a strange situation to begin with the Enterprise manages to put heavy damage on the Cube. His big mistake was that why did he not immediately destroy the cube directly, or while beaming onto the ship, at least take a photon torpedo (or any other bomb with the yield of a modern day nuke) with them. This episode was both interesting but also annoying, I understand you need a certain plot, but these are really revealing mistakes that a normal Captain never should do. Aside from the fact that Earth did do nothing to setup a defensive perimeter in the 2 years that followed, knowing of the Borg's existence. The Federation had much stronger weapons than just your average photon torpedo or phasers. See for example the Verteron Array on Mars in Star Trek Enterprise and loads and loads of torpedo launchers could have been deployed on the Moon. In Star Trek it never ceases to amaze me how poorly Earth is defended.
My goodness, you completely missed his biggest error: letting Hugh, the Borg, not have the protocol to destroy the Borg. That decision doomed billions to death.
These kinds of decisions are what makes the Idea of Section 31 so great. A small group that is willing to sacrifice their own conscious for the greater good. Society needs such people. People who willingly can't sleep at night because of what they do in order to ensure that others can live in peace.
@@neptun2810Yep, let's applaud that darling little shadow organization that decided it had the right to do absolutely anything it sees fit with no oversight or limits to power whatsoever. Unwarranted espionage, sabotage, murder, harming relations with other key powers, and if course, genocide. All in the name of protecting the Federation. @neptun2810
Regarding #7, when you consider this has well as Worf abandoning a mission in order to save Dax, it's really ridiculous that Starfleet doesn't have some regulations about relationships within the chain of command.
@ don’t real world militaries do it? It may make people unhappy sometimes, but Picard’s situation shows exactly why you can’t have people commanding people who they’re intimately involved with.
@@jayb8934starfleet always claim they're not military though. Personally, I've always thought starfleet are deluded if they consider themselves non military.
There are maybe 1 trillion planets in the Galaxy and also no reason for humans to stay in a DMZ that was agreed upon between The Federation and The Cardassians.
I disagree with #1. I don't think that Picard was opposed to Data creating Lal. He was surprised, taken aback, but he was never opposed to it. I also don't agree with Picard not supposed to being upset with Ro for abandoning her post in Starfleet. He stuck his neck out for her, campaigned for her after she proved herself to him. Sure he did not handle the final mission well, but he was right to feel the way he did. Regret and self-resentment can easily fester in someone, even for decades. The part about all that I have a problem with was the obvious memberberry pull that brought the character back and immediately killed her off, just like Shelby at the end of the season. There was zero legitimate story reason to fridge the characters for shock value.
Picard played fast and loose with the Prime Directive, upholding it and openly contravening it as he saw fit. In fairness however, he was not alone in that. Kirk did the same before him, as did Janeway after him. This then is perhaps a valid comment on no matter how well intentioned the Prime Directive may be, it becomes fundamentally flawed when certain circumstances arise.
THANK YOU! That's why this list is a fucking joke. To not even mention the fact that he had an opportunity to wipe out the entire Borg Collective and just passed on it, and that doesn't even make the list? No joke, I seriously doubt the people who wrote this have ever watched Star Trek TNG. Or, at best, they skipped over some episodes, most notably "I, Borg."
@@benjauron5873 He had the opportunity to use an individual saved from enslavement, to commit genocide against a bunch of other slaves...and you think he made the wrong choice? How gangsta of you.
Picard's hubris regarding Q in Q Who?, which led to Starfleet's premature meeting with the Borg Collective should've been on this list, either #2 or #1. It was Jean-Luc's pride that riled Q to send the Enterprise to Sector J-25 to begin with. Q Who?'s a good allegorical episode, with Picard (as man) telling Q ('God') that he doesn't need him. Fine then shake hands with the 'devil' (the Borg), as Maurice Hurley intended. And it was indeed Picard's hubris that started everything in regards to the Borg.
Well he has always been portrayed as someone unlikely to have children. Brash, intelligent, athlete, who fights with a Nausican and needs a new heart. A man who seeks excellence and adventure rather than caretaking and planning a low risk life so that he'll always be around for the kids. Awkward around children. Late to marry and never a parent to a child. He meets his son when that son is in his late 30s.
When Captain was assimilated by the borg & became Locutus of Borg because the borg dont have a single leader. Those Federation Starships Enterprise D,E & Stargazer are truly iconic.
Believe it or not, Patrick Stewart did show up for his audition without his toupee but the writers weren't too keen on having a balled captain. Stewart's wife mailed it out to him and he reappeared to try again. Seeing him with it on, they remarked that he looked like a filing clerk or something along those lines. Ultimately, not a good look.
Sean I wrote my senior thesis for Penn State about leadership and Jean-Luc Picard. I’ve been thinking about editing it and publishing it because of Star Trek: Picard (and I want something to write about), and I wonder if I could send a copy to you should I decide to edit and publish the paper and get your feedback on it before I try and publish it.
Can we get a 10 Worst Things Captain Sisko Has Ever Done? It would probably be an hour long video and be more than just 10 things. Beyond starting the Dominion War, committing various war crimes. (that so many fans find "cool"), there's also his raping of Mirror-Jadzia Revenge of the Nerds-style in "Through the Looking Glass" there's probably others as well. It would get definitely get traffic on TH-cam.
Poison an entire planet's atmosphere out of a grudge..... is a knowing accomplice to murder and does not report it. Nope.... he's perfect. (Disclaimer: Yes I know these actions led to arguably better things, but just like the video mentioned with Picard in First Contact, the ends do not justify the means. Or at the very least, they do not absolve him of any wrong doing.)
@@chefdean7257 …. What? Talk about a red herring. I’m just pointing out that Picard didn’t get a pass in the video because his actions produced results. So neither should Sisko. It’s either that…. Or Picard is absolved too. Pick one.
"Buried deep within you, beneath all the years of pain and anger, there is something that has never been nurtured: The potential to be a better man." -- Jean-Luc Picard
My memories of Picard shutting down Worf was when there was some sort of an issue and Worf's suggestion was to always start shooting at another ship. I don't think it was Picard being cruel to him, but it was the writers showing us how Worf's Klingon nature could get in the way of his duties as a Star Fleet officer.
Something that didn't make this list but should have was Picard's arrogance when dealing with Q. Sure, Q was yanking his chain, and Picard has every right to be mad at Q for putting him on trial for the crimes of humanity, but the way he treats Q in Q Who was uncalled for. His arrogance in believing that the Federation was ready for anything out there, and the lengths it took for him to admit when he was wrong, not only introduced Starfleet to the Borg, but cost him the lives of 16 members of his crew. I'd say that ranks up there a bit.
The thought occurs to me that Picard might have thought Data might not have understood or wasn't ready for the responsibility of being a parent and responded like he would if a young teen wanted to be a parent.
I'd rate the events that happened in TNG episode Journeys End as Picards worst moment. He participated in the forced location of a group of people knowing it was wrong, because he was "just following orders" even though an academy cadet knew better. It looks even more hypocritical when we see his actions in Insurrection in an almost identical situation, suddenly going the total opposite direction.
Oh, but those people were Federation citizens and mostly human, unlike the Baku. We see that Picard can be a D-CK when it comes to humans not conforming to his views. This video leaves out Up the Long Ladder where he forces the clones and the Irish stereotypes, two societies that impressively survived centuries cut off from the rest of humanity, to form a new society together because he loathes the ideas of clones.
Sean when you consider Picard's feelings in relation to his father it actually does make sense. His own father was in Picard's eyes very cold, strict, and bitter (that was likely differences in parenting along with guilt and grief).
Number 2 was ugh! Soo painful. Probably the first time i teared up in a Star Trek show/episode. Sure, I was saddened when Spock sacrificed himself and died. But this one, really made me cry.
Whenever my mother and I decide to watch an episode of TNG, there's a better than average chance that, at some point during the episode, either me, my mother, or both of us together, sardonically exclaim: "Shut up, Worf!" You know what else is fun to keep an eye out for? Watch the first season, and count how many times per episode Wesley is referred to, primarily by Picard, as "the boy". I think #1 on the list was Where No One has Gone Before, with a grand total of, like, nine and a half I think? If I'm not mistaken, either Beverly or Wesley himself actually called Picard out on it on one occasion.
A couple points I have to bring up. Picard series seems to be written in not the best manner, and sometimes deliberately to bring down some characters. And the number 1 spot, well, if your teenage son just came up to you and said, "Hey, I knocked someone up to see what having a kid is like", wouldn't you be a bit shocked? Data didn't need a partner, but he skipped a few potential steps.
I don't think Picard "abandoned" Laris as much as he, and she, both recognized that he is not the type to settle in to quiet retirement. He will always answer a call for help, he will always run off to save the day. There will be no rocking chair on the porch for Jean-Luc. Laris accepted it the moment she found out that Beverly had called for help. She wasn't letting him go so he could run off, help his family, and meet up with her later; she was letting him go, end of sentence. And they both knew it. I've always found it odd just how *intensely personal* Starfleet commanding officers take it when other officers join the Maquis. Look at Sisko and Cal Hudson, or Sisko and Michael Eddington. Those Starfleet types HATE it when fellow officers join the Maquis. It's like they take it as a personal affront.
Seems like it was just Sisko. Janeway had no probs with adding Chakotay and other Maquis to her crew. I thought it was out of character for them to write that grudge between Picard and Ro. He never had a close relationship with her on TNG. Too bad Janeway didn't have a ship counselor assessing Seska for fitness. It was just Tuvok making them jog. Even more so, Janeway promoted B'Elana over Carey at Chakotay's recommendation. Even after she broke Carey's nose. Janeway clearly cares more about results than professional behavior. I would have made Tuvok 1st officer and security chief and given Chakotay a lieutenant commander of ops role like Data.
Counterpoint to the Wesley entry, I'd argue Wesley needed to be brought down a peg and humbled every once in a while. Even if that means a public shaming in front of everyone, if he's going to act like a child, he needs to be scolded like one. This is a starship, not a daycare. If he wants to stay on the bridge, he needs to learn proper discipline.
I think Picard and Beverly making the unilateral decision to execute an unarmed prisoner in cold blood (one that had been tortured by Starfleet, nonetheless) was a bit of a blip on the old radar. As far as Picard leaving Starfleet and abandoning Elnor, I think that tracks with his character. No captain represented or bought into Starfleet dogma more than Picard, and no captain would jump ship faster the minute Starfleet abandoned its ideals. Unfortunately, his abandoning of the Romulans and Elnor was a byproduct of that, because he took it too far.
Not sure if right or wrong but tmw Picard left hologram Moriarty on loop in an isolinear storage cube on a charging dock after Barclay had inadvertently reactivated him. It is only presumptive conjecture to say that Moriarty was the template for the emh. For better or for worse, that could be Picard's contribution to the federation that nobody ever talks about
On a side note, sometimes you wonder about the names of these characters. Reginald Barclay's family name is the result of removing all the words starting with vowels
I think that killing off Jabon (Sp?) between seasons one and two of "Picard" and then having Picard begin a romantic relationship with Laris is just one of the many bone-headed decisions that happened in the second season of that series. The rapidity of the onset of that relationship was enough to make one wonder if the death of Jabon was maaaaaaybe just a little suspicious. Then rapidly dispatching with Laris in season three seems to me to be almost a corrective when the producers realized that, Whoopsies!, Beverly was going to come back into the picture. As such, I don't think of this as a character flaw of Picard's but as a major failing of plotting by the writers and producers of "Picard."
I don't feel Picard had a bias against Data having a child. Rather I've always thought he understood what Star Fleet would try to do to if they ever found other android, child of Data or otherwise. And this understanding was proven true in that episode.
Picard should have listened when Kirk told him to stay on that bridge of that ship. Because while you're there you can still make a difference. From Star Trek generations.

I'm pretty sure there were Star Trek stories where they were actively working to save a pre-warp civilization from extinction without them noticing. Or am I imagining that?
@@Thurgosh_OG Nope. Patrick Stewart played a character named Sejanus in a 1970's TV mini-series called "I, Claudius." I'm just being a little snarky! 🤪
For #1, I always imagined that the writers had an idea/story/script which would become The Offspring, but that was written before Measure of A Man or aside the Measure of A Man. By aside, I mean it was a story of a robot who created an offspring from another scifi universe or a standalone story. I imagined that the TNG writers got lazy and instead of properly adapting it, they crammed Picard into the role of the person responsible for the robot, who was unhappy with the turn of events. How no one saw that Picard's position in this episode was thoroughly out of character, even by this early point in the series, boggles the mind. If the writers were aware and just trying to throw us off, say to expand later possibilities for the Picard character, it was an odd way to go about it. As written, I feel that the episode's only redeeming moment is: "HE'S BITING THAT FEMALE!"
I think Starfleet was right to leave Picard out of the battle with the Borg. This is based on a somewhat subtle scene. Picard seems to startle a bit when the Borg Queen first spoke to him. It seems like Picard did not remember the Queen before hearing her speak and I think there was a reason. If the Queen had existed before the events in Best of Both Worlds, then the creation of Locutus from the assimilation of Picard makes no sense. I think what happened was, they felt that having a commander worked better for them and so after they last Locutus they created the Queen. However, because the Borg believe they are perfect, any changes they make to their structure would have to be retroactively "remembered" as have always been so. In an act that would have made Winston Smith blush, they simply created the memory file and uploaded it to the entire Collective. However, Locutus was disconnected from the Collective and so didn't receive the update until he once again came under the influence of the Collective. The moment when Picard gasps is the moment he received the latest update. Like when you start up a 5 year old computer to the internet. We were lucky the update only seems to have been the memory of the Queen. It could have cause Picard to fully revert to Locutus. This has got to be one of the worst (and frankly stupid) things Picard did. The results don't really matter. Granted he saved the Federation and the human race, but his actions were reckless in the extreme, showing a gross lack of good judgment that is hard to reconcile with the rest of his character.
Leaving colonists on the Cardassian side of the border. Which led to the Marquee. While not the only factor, did contribute to the downfall of the Cardassian empire. Which resulted in them joining the Dominion and plunging the entire alpha quadrant into a long and bloody war.
What about the episode that opens with Picard asking everybody on the bridge to stand while they watch a planet become uninhabitable? Crusher says I can't watch this and leaves the bridge. That was the worst one for me.
Another thing to look at when it comes to STFC is his knowledge of where to hit the Borg cube, which could have saved thousands of lives. Had he been allowed to at least help in some way? His judgment wasn't called into question when Alynna Nechayev had him in an anti-Borg task force, but okay...
Personally I think his relationship with a subordinate was fine, Picard simply wasn't prepared for it which cost him his objectivity. As stated, it is literally a Starfleet requirement to be able to send people you care about to die in order to be in command, so it is very doable, Picard has wasn't ready for it. This applies generally, it is humanly impossible to view every member of your crew with equal deference, especially when your crew numbers in the hundreds, and nor should you, that would affect the leader worse than having friends within the crew. Ergo the argument is still the same, you just have to recognise that you must maintain objectivity about these relationships in situations that demand it.
Picard treated Data as a child, a super intelligent child but a child. While children have the right to grow they're not ready to raise their own children. That was Picard's mistake.
What about fathering a child with Beverly and never checking in with her? Sure he didnt know but he did the deed and never checked in, leaving a son without a father
The Enterprise was supposed to be the flagship of the fleet , yet they were always getting heavily damaged or destroyed , that's not saying much for the rest of the fleet,they must be made out of paper.
I'd argue that Picard not mending Laris again is more bad writing that his character There isnt any sign he'd got with Beverly, so maybe that relationship is still ongoing.
What was wrong about it? She would disappear if the timeline were righted...this gave her a chance to die heroically...or as was proven, even a chance to live.
No, that was a good thing. I mean he knew he was sending her to her death, but she also knew from Guinan that her death in the prime timeline was senseless, so he was allowing her to choose an honorable death instead, and as it turned out she didn't even die right away, not until she tried to escape Romulus.
I wish Laris had been revealed to be a hologram. I don't know where the story would go from there. I just think it would have been more interesting than abandonment.
The Worf thing is such BS! Picard never told Worf to just be quiet. He was RIGHTLY trying to get Worf to stop seeing things in balck and white terms of attack or not. SUCH BULL SHIT!
I've had some experience on naval ships not a lot just 4 years or so and one thing a captain does not do is discus plans that affected decision he has already made net worth may have been trying to bring forward a valid point but that doesn't mean Picard did not already consider that point and Wharf Point a considerable distance ahead I have personally observed this when I was doing the fly on the wall thing as an E3 in the ward room E3 is a very low level serviceman and the captain had already considered it but he did take the time to tell that your tenant that was making the suggestion I thought of that but it won't work for this reason sometimes there isn't time to be gentle a ship is no place for princesses and delicate sensibilities
On the Worf issue, I believe that it was mostly because Worf did often suggest over-the-top ideas which were less than diplomatic, particularly problematic on the fleet's flagship, the one where diplomacy and peace-keeping is paramount...

I think Worf knew his job was to propose the militaristic option, so that it was aired and considered, even if he knew it was unlikely to be taken. And he was fine with that...most of the time.
I think it was meant to highlight the "superior" Federation practices over the more violent Klingon ways. You can take the Klingon out of the Empire..

And their reunion, it hit harder when they both realized the amount of time passed. Forgive, but not forget. But her sacrifice 😔
Now we need a 10 Awesomest War Crimes about Sisko and Archer
Seeing Ro was my personal favourite part of season 3. And then to have her killed off was another heartbreaking moment.
Terry Matalas actually wanted to bring her back with Tuvok in the finale but ran out of budget.
@@gabelogan5877 I vote for a fan re-edit with all the fakery we can muster in 10 years, and redoing that whole show properly. Rip up the script and do a Snyder cut or whatever.
You missed one of my favorite examples of Picard's lack of care for his crew. In the episode Schisms, Lt. Hagler is kidnapped from the Enterprise in an episode where a lot of crew are taken by aliens and returned. Upon Haglar's return, he has Dr. Crusher strolls down to his quarters. No medical team, no security team, just Beverly Crusher. After a few minutes of Dr. Crusher examining the guy, Picard finally sends people down to Hagler's quarters, him and Riker. But still no medical teams or Security. Lt. Hagler dies. Picard makes a Captain's Log stating everyone is "safe and accounted for". After which, the senior staff is having a briefing and Riker blurts out Lt. Hagler is dead.
For a dead guy, he sure has made a lot of porn.
You are forgetting 3 key big mistakes that Picard made in just ONE episode, which was in the episode Q-Who:
1. Picard acts arrogant towards Q who only wants to guide them to the unknown, at this point it's already clear Q has no hostile intend.
2. After Q swings the Enterprise to system J-25, Guinan immediately suggest to Picard to get away from there as quickly as possible, but he didn't. Apparently he forgot what Q said about "Terrors that freeze your soul".
3. Eventually during combat with the Borg Cube the Cube goes into hibernation mode. Even though this is a strange situation to begin with the Enterprise manages to put heavy damage on the Cube. His big mistake was that why did he not immediately destroy the cube directly, or while beaming onto the ship, at least take a photon torpedo (or any other bomb with the yield of a modern day nuke) with them.
This episode was both interesting but also annoying, I understand you need a certain plot, but these are really revealing mistakes that a normal Captain never should do. Aside from the fact that Earth did do nothing to setup a defensive perimeter in the 2 years that followed, knowing of the Borg's existence. The Federation had much stronger weapons than just your average photon torpedo or phasers. See for example the Verteron Array on Mars in Star Trek Enterprise and loads and loads of torpedo launchers could have been deployed on the Moon. In Star Trek it never ceases to amaze me how poorly Earth is defended.
My goodness, you completely missed his biggest error: letting Hugh, the Borg, not have the protocol to destroy the Borg. That decision doomed billions to death.
These kinds of decisions are what makes the Idea of Section 31 so great. A small group that is willing to sacrifice their own conscious for the greater good. Society needs such people. People who willingly can't sleep at night because of what they do in order to ensure that others can live in peace.
But it would have killed 7 of 9, too.

Actually no. Once the Borg detects an abnormality in a Borg ship they disconnect from it and often order it to self destruct to contain the malady
Regarding #7, when you consider this has well as Worf abandoning a mission in order to save Dax, it's really ridiculous that Starfleet doesn't have some regulations about relationships within the chain of command.
How do you enforce that? Trying to do so would make people very unhappy, especially in wartime; it happens.

It may make people unhappy sometimes, but Picard’s situation shows exactly why you can’t have people commanding people who they’re intimately involved with.

Personally, I've always thought starfleet are deluded if they consider themselves non military.
The list for Sisko: #1 making an entire planet inhabitable for humans just to get Eddington.
There are maybe 1 trillion planets in the Galaxy and also no reason for humans to stay in a DMZ that was agreed upon between The Federation and The Cardassians.
I disagree with #1. I don't think that Picard was opposed to Data creating Lal. He was surprised, taken aback, but he was never opposed to it.
I also don't agree with Picard not supposed to being upset with Ro for abandoning her post in Starfleet. He stuck his neck out for her, campaigned for her after she proved herself to him. Sure he did not handle the final mission well, but he was right to feel the way he did. Regret and self-resentment can easily fester in someone, even for decades. The part about all that I have a problem with was the obvious memberberry pull that brought the character back and immediately killed her off, just like Shelby at the end of the season. There was zero legitimate story reason to fridge the characters for shock value.
I agree with your disagreement.
Calling Lt. Barkley “Mr. Broccoli” is definitely the worst thing he ever did. 100%.
Picard played fast and loose with the Prime Directive, upholding it and openly contravening it as he saw fit. In fairness however, he was not alone in that. Kirk did the same before him, as did Janeway after him. This then is perhaps a valid comment on no matter how well intentioned the Prime Directive may be, it becomes fundamentally flawed when certain circumstances arise.
I'm very surprised that you completely missed the worst thing Picard ever did. What of Hugh?
Oh god I made myself forget
THANK YOU! That's why this list is a fucking joke. To not even mention the fact that he had an opportunity to wipe out the entire Borg Collective and just passed on it, and that doesn't even make the list? No joke, I seriously doubt the people who wrote this have ever watched Star Trek TNG. Or, at best, they skipped over some episodes, most notably "I, Borg."

That would be unnerving.
The Laris plot line was always a bit daft. Right to wind it up.
Picard's hubris regarding Q in Q Who?, which led to Starfleet's premature meeting with the Borg Collective should've been on this list, either #2 or #1. It was Jean-Luc's pride that riled Q to send the Enterprise to Sector J-25 to begin with.
Q Who?'s a good allegorical episode, with Picard (as man) telling Q ('God') that he doesn't need him. Fine then shake hands with the 'devil' (the Borg), as Maurice Hurley intended. And it was indeed Picard's hubris that started everything in regards to the Borg.
Picard really treated Wesley badly and kept telling him to shut up and didn't listen to him about Lore.
Well he has always been portrayed as someone unlikely to have children. Brash, intelligent, athlete, who fights with a Nausican and needs a new heart. A man who seeks excellence and adventure rather than caretaking and planning a low risk life so that he'll always be around for the kids. Awkward around children. Late to marry and never a parent to a child. He meets his son when that son is in his late 30s.

What about his refusal to wear a toupee?
😮
Believe it or not, Patrick Stewart did show up for his audition without his toupee but the writers weren't too keen on having a balled captain. Stewart's wife mailed it out to him and he reappeared to try again. Seeing him with it on, they remarked that he looked like a filing clerk or something along those lines. Ultimately, not a good look.

@@AshuraH No!
My memories of Picard shutting down Worf was when there was some sort of an issue and Worf's suggestion was to always start shooting at another ship. I don't think it was Picard being cruel to him, but it was the writers showing us how Worf's Klingon nature could get in the way of his duties as a Star Fleet officer.
Did anyone think to ask Benjamin Sisko for his opinion?
“The line must be drawn here! This far, no farther!” Epic.
Something that didn't make this list but should have was Picard's arrogance when dealing with Q. Sure, Q was yanking his chain, and Picard has every right to be mad at Q for putting him on trial for the crimes of humanity, but the way he treats Q in Q Who was uncalled for. His arrogance in believing that the Federation was ready for anything out there, and the lengths it took for him to admit when he was wrong, not only introduced Starfleet to the Borg, but cost him the lives of 16 members of his crew. I'd say that ranks up there a bit.
Pretty sure it was 18... His dealings with Q were confusing at best. :D
The fact that Wesley was right makes matters worse.
Often, so was Worf.
The thought occurs to me that Picard might have thought Data might not have understood or wasn't ready for the responsibility of being a parent and responded like he would if a young teen wanted to be a parent.
Janeway: Hold my coffee!
I'd rate the events that happened in TNG episode Journeys End as Picards worst moment. He participated in the forced location of a group of people knowing it was wrong, because he was "just following orders" even though an academy cadet knew better. It looks even more hypocritical when we see his actions in Insurrection in an almost identical situation, suddenly going the total opposite direction.
Oh, but those people were Federation citizens and mostly human, unlike the Baku. We see that Picard can be a D-CK when it comes to humans not conforming to his views. This video leaves out Up the Long Ladder where he forces the clones and the Irish stereotypes, two societies that impressively survived centuries cut off from the rest of humanity, to form a new society together because he loathes the ideas of clones.
In Gambit the two parter episodes Captain Picard was taken hostage by the Cardassians, was Gul Madred the one in charge.
The two parter, you are thinking of is: The Chain Of Command.
Sean when you consider Picard's feelings in relation to his father it actually does make sense. His own father was in Picard's eyes very cold, strict, and bitter (that was likely differences in parenting along with guilt and grief).
Number 2 was ugh! Soo painful. Probably the first time i teared up in a Star Trek show/episode. Sure, I was saddened when Spock sacrificed himself and died. But this one, really made me cry.
Sometimes number two can be painful...
The REAL #1: "Star Trek: Picard".
Yes. This is by far the biggest one. It never should have been made.

Whenever my mother and I decide to watch an episode of TNG, there's a better than average chance that, at some point during the episode, either me, my mother, or both of us together, sardonically exclaim: "Shut up, Worf!"
You know what else is fun to keep an eye out for? Watch the first season, and count how many times per episode Wesley is referred to, primarily by Picard, as "the boy". I think #1 on the list was Where No One has Gone Before, with a grand total of, like, nine and a half I think? If I'm not mistaken, either Beverly or Wesley himself actually called Picard out on it on one occasion.

I didn’t like the realism until I saw what happened to Prince William’s amazing coif. And if he can’t take measures, then who can?
I'm not so sure about starting a list with "condemned a civilization to death" and then following it with "maybe hurt Worf's feelings".
A couple points I have to bring up. Picard series seems to be written in not the best manner, and sometimes deliberately to bring down some characters. And the number 1 spot, well, if your teenage son just came up to you and said, "Hey, I knocked someone up to see what having a kid is like", wouldn't you be a bit shocked? Data didn't need a partner, but he skipped a few potential steps.
I don't think Picard "abandoned" Laris as much as he, and she, both recognized that he is not the type to settle in to quiet retirement. He will always answer a call for help, he will always run off to save the day. There will be no rocking chair on the porch for Jean-Luc. Laris accepted it the moment she found out that Beverly had called for help. She wasn't letting him go so he could run off, help his family, and meet up with her later; she was letting him go, end of sentence. And they both knew it.
I've always found it odd just how *intensely personal* Starfleet commanding officers take it when other officers join the Maquis. Look at Sisko and Cal Hudson, or Sisko and Michael Eddington. Those Starfleet types HATE it when fellow officers join the Maquis. It's like they take it as a personal affront.
Seems like it was just Sisko. Janeway had no probs with adding Chakotay and other Maquis to her crew. I thought it was out of character for them to write that grudge between Picard and Ro. He never had a close relationship with her on TNG. Too bad Janeway didn't have a ship counselor assessing Seska for fitness. It was just Tuvok making them jog. Even more so, Janeway promoted B'Elana over Carey at Chakotay's recommendation. Even after she broke Carey's nose. Janeway clearly cares more about results than professional behavior. I would have made Tuvok 1st officer and security chief and given Chakotay a lieutenant commander of ops role like Data.
Counterpoint to the Wesley entry, I'd argue Wesley needed to be brought down a peg and humbled every once in a while.
Even if that means a public shaming in front of everyone, if he's going to act like a child, he needs to be scolded like one. This is a starship, not a daycare.
If he wants to stay on the bridge, he needs to learn proper discipline.
I think Picard and Beverly making the unilateral decision to execute an unarmed prisoner in cold blood (one that had been tortured by Starfleet, nonetheless) was a bit of a blip on the old radar.
As far as Picard leaving Starfleet and abandoning Elnor, I think that tracks with his character.
No captain represented or bought into Starfleet dogma more than Picard, and no captain would jump ship faster the minute Starfleet abandoned its ideals.
Unfortunately, his abandoning of the Romulans and Elnor was a byproduct of that, because he took it too far.
Not sure if right or wrong but tmw Picard left hologram Moriarty on loop in an isolinear storage cube on a charging dock after Barclay had inadvertently reactivated him. It is only presumptive conjecture to say that Moriarty was the template for the emh. For better or for worse, that could be Picard's contribution to the federation that nobody ever talks about
On a side note, sometimes you wonder about the names of these characters. Reginald Barclay's family name is the result of removing all the words starting with vowels
Even worse, he ordered Barclay to change Moriarty into a butler for a late 20th century Broadway producer that has a live-in nanny.
I think that killing off Jabon (Sp?) between seasons one and two of "Picard" and then having Picard begin a romantic relationship with Laris is just one of the many bone-headed decisions that happened in the second season of that series. The rapidity of the onset of that relationship was enough to make one wonder if the death of Jabon was maaaaaaybe just a little suspicious. Then rapidly dispatching with Laris in season three seems to me to be almost a corrective when the producers realized that, Whoopsies!, Beverly was going to come back into the picture. As such, I don't think of this as a character flaw of Picard's but as a major failing of plotting by the writers and producers of "Picard."
I don't feel Picard had a bias against Data having a child. Rather I've always thought he understood what Star Fleet would try to do to if they ever found other android, child of Data or otherwise. And this understanding was proven true in that episode.
Picard should have listened when Kirk told him to stay on that bridge of that ship. Because while you're there you can still make a difference. From Star Trek generations.
I'm pretty sure there were Star Trek stories where they were actively working to save a pre-warp civilization from extinction without them noticing. Or am I imagining that?
The episode used in this video does exactly that. Just not with Picard's green light. Worf has to go behind his back to help.
About Wesley: He's Picards' son. That doesn't excuse it, but it explains the level of Familiality.
Ahhh... but Captain Picard as Sejanus seduced Drusus's wife Livilla and then poisoned Drusus. Naughty boy! 😱
Isn't that from a book and therefore not canon?
@@Thurgosh_OG Nope. Patrick Stewart played a character named Sejanus in a 1970's TV mini-series called "I, Claudius." I'm just being a little snarky! 🤪
For #1, I always imagined that the writers had an idea/story/script which would become The Offspring, but that was written before Measure of A Man or aside the Measure of A Man. By aside, I mean it was a story of a robot who created an offspring from another scifi universe or a standalone story. I imagined that the TNG writers got lazy and instead of properly adapting it, they crammed Picard into the role of the person responsible for the robot, who was unhappy with the turn of events. How no one saw that Picard's position in this episode was thoroughly out of character, even by this early point in the series, boggles the mind. If the writers were aware and just trying to throw us off, say to expand later possibilities for the Picard character, it was an odd way to go about it. As written, I feel that the episode's only redeeming moment is: "HE'S BITING THAT FEMALE!"
Picard would be nothing without “Shut up Wesley!”
I think Starfleet was right to leave Picard out of the battle with the Borg. This is based on a somewhat subtle scene.
Picard seems to startle a bit when the Borg Queen first spoke to him. It seems like Picard did not remember the Queen before hearing her speak and I think there was a reason.
If the Queen had existed before the events in Best of Both Worlds, then the creation of Locutus from the assimilation of Picard makes no sense. I think what happened was, they felt that having a commander worked better for them and so after they last Locutus they created the Queen. However, because the Borg believe they are perfect, any changes they make to their structure would have to be retroactively "remembered" as have always been so. In an act that would have made Winston Smith blush, they simply created the memory file and uploaded it to the entire Collective.
However, Locutus was disconnected from the Collective and so didn't receive the update until he once again came under the influence of the Collective.
The moment when Picard gasps is the moment he received the latest update. Like when you start up a 5 year old computer to the internet.
We were lucky the update only seems to have been the memory of the Queen. It could have cause Picard to fully revert to Locutus.
This has got to be one of the worst (and frankly stupid) things Picard did. The results don't really matter. Granted he saved the Federation and the human race, but his actions were reckless in the extreme, showing a gross lack of good judgment that is hard to reconcile with the rest of his character.
Leaving colonists on the Cardassian side of the border. Which led to the Marquee. While not the only factor, did contribute to the downfall of the Cardassian empire. Which resulted in them joining the Dominion and plunging the entire alpha quadrant into a long and bloody war.
What about the episode that opens with Picard asking everybody on the bridge to stand while they watch a planet become uninhabitable? Crusher says I can't watch this and leaves the bridge. That was the worst one for me.
Another thing to look at when it comes to STFC is his knowledge of where to hit the Borg cube, which could have saved thousands of lives. Had he been allowed to at least help in some way? His judgment wasn't called into question when Alynna Nechayev had him in an anti-Borg task force, but okay...
Personally I think his relationship with a subordinate was fine, Picard simply wasn't prepared for it which cost him his objectivity. As stated, it is literally a Starfleet requirement to be able to send people you care about to die in order to be in command, so it is very doable, Picard has wasn't ready for it.
This applies generally, it is humanly impossible to view every member of your crew with equal deference, especially when your crew numbers in the hundreds, and nor should you, that would affect the leader worse than having friends within the crew. Ergo the argument is still the same, you just have to recognise that you must maintain objectivity about these relationships in situations that demand it.
Picard treated Data as a child, a super intelligent child but a child. While children have the right to grow they're not ready to raise their own children. That was Picard's mistake.
5:41 - uh what? Beverly tried to hide her jealousy, but I wouldn't say she was happy.
Demeaning Wesley was one of his highlights!
_#1 isn't "Star Trek: Picard"_
🤣
That’s in the list of worst things Patrick Stewart has ever done.
The top 10 things Picard did wrong, are dwarfed by Picard having his own series. That was the worst thing Picard has ever done.
The worst thing Picard had done in my book was being a fictional character. We need a man like him today.
What about fathering a child with Beverly and never checking in with her? Sure he didnt know but he did the deed and never checked in, leaving a son without a father
I think Picard asking Ro to essentially help her people oppressors was extremely shortsighted and unfair
Nothing for those poor native americans who got relocated from their ancestral whatever? Acuchi Moya, that's what I always say.
I completely disagree with Lal. Picard was railing Data about her creation as a parent who knows their child is not ready to become a parent.
...especially when said child could potentially kill every person on board the ship without even using a phaser
The Enterprise was supposed to be the flagship of the fleet , yet they were always getting heavily damaged or destroyed , that's not saying much for the rest of the fleet,they must be made out of paper.
I'd argue that Picard not mending Laris again is more bad writing that his character There isnt any sign he'd got with Beverly, so maybe that relationship is still ongoing.
30% of these came from Picard, and the Picard in Picard was a different Picard.
Sending alternate universe Tasha Yar back in time is the top thing I can think of.
What was wrong about it? She would disappear if the timeline were righted...this gave her a chance to die heroically...or as was proven, even a chance to live.
No, that was a good thing. I mean he knew he was sending her to her death, but she also knew from Guinan that her death in the prime timeline was senseless, so he was allowing her to choose an honorable death instead, and as it turned out she didn't even die right away, not until she tried to escape Romulus.
I wish Laris had been revealed to be a hologram.
I don't know where the story would go from there. I just think it would have been more interesting than abandonment.
Starfleet officers often had relationships with subordinates. See Data or Riker's many relationships.
he murdered his future self in cold blood without even battting an eyelid.

This is the weakest list in TrekCulture history and that's truly something.
I've had some experience on naval ships not a lot just 4 years or so and one thing a captain does not do is discus plans that affected decision he has already made net worth may have been trying to bring forward a valid point but that doesn't mean Picard did not already consider that point and Wharf Point a considerable distance ahead I have personally observed this when I was doing the fly on the wall thing as an E3 in the ward room E3 is a very low level serviceman and the captain had already considered it but he did take the time to tell that your tenant that was making the suggestion I thought of that but it won't work for this reason sometimes there isn't time to be gentle a ship is no place for princesses and delicate sensibilities
Like this, but none of ST Picard is canon, so can't see any of these as numbered items
The whole Picard series was a train wreck.
