A widely discussed comment compares Picard's principled leadership unfavorably to Proton CEO Andy Yen, sparking a sub-thread about whether such leadership is viable under modern corporate pressures.
“He doesn't ooze of anxiety, he doesn't micromanage, or rule by fear and unpredictable outbursts of anger until only yes-sayers are left. He bases his leadership on moral backbone and strong principles...”

Like any TV show there were good and bad episodes in Star Trek TNG. Then again, I can't name any episodes that made an impression on me. Except "Encounter at Farpoint" because it was the show's first episode.Same with Dr. Who: most episodes are forgettable, but some like "Blink" and "Silence in the Library" stick with you forever.I'm lamenting the…

It's kind of apropos given the last few days' news. Picard is everything someone like Andy Yen isn't.He doesn't ooze of anxiety, he doesn't micromanage, or rule by fear and unpredictable outbursts of anger until only yes-sayers are left. He bases his leadership on moral backbone and strong principles, and stoically has faith those will take him as…

Stewart was, to me, an archetypal man's man.in Picard. Embodying a real man to me in so many ways. The author is right in this eulogy of a great actor and a great role.That out of the way, Brooks' Sisco is the much better captain, man, father, and role model and Brooks' acting in Ben, I feel, does a much better job.I will sorely miss Stewart, as…

When you have a crew of people that are near the top of their game, it's not that hard to manage them.Strong principals don't work when you have investors to contend with that will kick you out for one bad quarter.In the age where biology doesn't seem to matter anymore and feelings rule over facts, the Picards of the world will be shunned…

A few years ago I saw a post somewhere captioned, "I think we know who the better captain is now". And I don't remember the details but it showed a picture of Patrick Stewart and a statement he'd made that was incredibly compassionate. Next to it was a picture of William Shatner and an old man "get off my lawn" type quote of his from some antiwoke…

Often Picard is compared to Kirk, but I find comparing Picard to sisko to be the much more interesting one.Picard and Sisko are both excellent, thoughtful, nearly everything you say - and sisko still is quite not happy with Picard given th circumstances of the battle against the borg they fought in together!

> One of my friends has a theory that if you didn’t get into Star Trek before you’re 18 years old, you’re never really going to get it.Nah, I got my partner into TNG during the pandemic and she was in her thirties. It was our comfort show during that time, one episode a day.

That works great in a utopian ideal where money isn't an issue. The Andy Yen's of the world become because being a petty tyrant in pursuit of profit is celebrated in some circles.

For anyone somehow in this comment thread who didn’t watch Star Trek ds9, if you liked next gen you will probably like ds9 for all the same reasons (and many new ones)!

It’s almost hard to imagine perhaps or maybe I’m biased but my grand father was very similar in manner to him. Otherwise I may have assumed such men did not exist.

More patterning one’s life after this man our captain than the andrew Tate and Elon’s of the world. Please!
