I love how the 'Resistance is futile. Your life, as it has been... is over. From this time forward, you will service...us.' doubles as an initiation speech for a fresh batch of cadets to Starfleet.
@LlansleyNinja141 Maybe the reason why people voted his comment down is because he isn't being very fair. Like I said Picard might have started out as being arrogant in early TNG but when the show got better writers he was made to be more human as well as the show taking on a humility approach. Ottervomit seems to be ignoring that and just focusing on how Picard used to be early on and not what happened later on in the show.
starfleet isent military. it is a mix between the military, the pece cor, and NASA. Starfleet is rarly used as an army. presumibly during the dominion war all civilians were transferd off the ship.

Jean Luc "I'll surrender my ship on my first mission" Picard was a self-righteous blowhard who never passed up an opportunity to pontificate to all those lowly beings around him who did not fit into his idealized image of humanity. His brother Robert was right: he needed humbling. Too bad not even the Borg could conquer his indomitable ego, only put him at odds with it. That served to turn him into some sort of glossed over Captain Ahab.
Picard did not have a idealized image of humanity. I don't remember him ever telling anyone what the human race should be, only explaining how humanity in the future had changed that's all. Besides about picard's first mission what else was picard supposed to do? There was no way to outrun Q and he saved members of his crew from being captured by Q anyway and trying to fight Q would have been pointless.
I didn't like picard in the first two seasons (although he wasn't bad in episodes I liked like elementary dear data, the measure of a man and Q who) and he may have been a grumpy old man in those seasons but after that when tng got new writers I started to like picard more because he seemed to be more of a person and to me they redeemed him for any previous behaviour in the first two seasons. The mosting telling for this is when his brother says "So my brother is a human being after all."

As Picard had yet to be injured by the Borg at Farpoint, he was not yet an Ahab type character by then. Just a pompous pontiff of Gene's overblown "vision."
@OtterVomit First Contact did give Picard that aspect, but it was out of continuity with many episodes of the show, one of which is I Borg (which took place about a year after Picard was assimilated) where Picard proved he was the opposite of "an Ahab type character".
P.S. Sorry I know this is two years old but I wanted to point this out to you.
@001SpecialAgent The stakes were a bit different. He had to deal with only one Borg who I don't think was fully developed as a drone. He was in control. However in First Contact he had the Borg chasing him and destroying his crew as fast as possible -- this time he wasn't in control and probably having much more anger developing as a full on reminder of what he went through when he was raped by the Borg in the Best of Both Worlds.

starfleet isent military. it is a mix between the military, the pece cor, and NASA. Starfleet is rarly used as an army. presumibly during the dominion war all civilians were transferd off the ship.
MrWooaa 2 years ago
Starfleet is based on the Naval fleet, they even use their ranks, terms for decks and manouevers.
NASA is part of the military. Officers aboard ships have ranks.
Treemeadow 2 years ago
while it is ture that they use the same termanology, there function is difrent then the anchant earth navys.
MrWooaa 2 years ago
Of course its function is different. Its space XD
But that makes it no less military. Its just a new branch of the military, just like NASA is.
Treemeadow 2 years ago
starfleet isn't military. They are an exploration organization with really big guns.

cuntscab555 2 years ago
Do you not see the contradiction in making fun of him for surrendering and calling him Ahab?
Stubbornly trying to fight and making an obviously poor decision because "it's MY first mission" would be a lot more Ahab-like.
