Yes, it's June 16th, and that means it's a day to celebrate Star Trek's second best captain.
All kidding aside OP, Picard is really best Captain.

OP has seen DS9 and knows the truth. Picard is awesome, but he's not Sisko awesome.
Oh, I know. Still not going to let it ruin my enjoyment of this. But yeah, hard to imagine that dude likes Star Trek with his...views.
Second best at best and he should be careful not to have his ass busted down to 3rd given that whole borg fiasco (and I don't mean Locutus).
Yeah, but lets not drag the thread away from it focus, which is the best damn captain to ever grace the stars with his mere presence...
HCPD everyone
Yes yes Happy Captain Picard Day to you all as well!
I say Temba his arms wide open and today Darmok and Jalad on the ocean and ultimately Picard and Dathon at El Adrel.

Yeah, apologies for that - I just don't like the idea of him making *any* money off of that video.
I'm super-thankful for this thread, however... it's also my wife's birthday, she's a *huge* TNG fan, and she had never heard that June 16th was Captain Picard Day! Very exciting.

I consider myself a big ST fan but never got the maths behind stardates. Can someone please explain?
Picard introduced the Federation, and the Alpha Quadrant as a whole, to one of its greatest threats. Letting his ego drive him into testing a near omnipotent being for no other reason than being unhappy anyone would deny the Federation was capable of dealung with anything.
Sisko, on the other hand, was willing to sacrifice everything, even knowingly giving up the chance to have a peacful, happy future with his family on Bajor, in order to defend the Federation, the Alpha Quadrant, and Bajor from the other greatest threat.
And Picard didn't even clean up his own mess.
Nowhere as dignified as bald Picard.Also, never forget what could have been:
Sisko punched Q. That's a thousand times dumber than what Picard did, all of humanity is lucky that Q didn't take it personally.
Let's stage a "transporter accident" and combine them into Pisko.
Sisko punched Q because that's exactly how you get Q to leave you alone. He expects humans to be violent and irrational. Give him what he wants so he'll fuck right on off and go about his day satisfied he was right.
That's the difference between Sisko and Picard. When it really counts and lives are on the line, Picard is still thinking about the moral victory. And that's not a bad thing most of the time. But it's incredibly stupid to take a situation wherein there are no stakes and create them.
