One other thing I like about Picard, if he gave you the "look" you knew he had the upper hand, case in point what he said to Gul Macet (?) is The Wounded.
Why Do You Like Picard, & What Do You Like About Him?

What I liked about Picard? Everything. He was nothing like Kirk, and his strong voice and presence made me support every situation he was in. Encounter at Farpoint is a great episode and there's many more in the 1st season of TNG, but Picard commands the scene every time on screen. The Verbiage with Q is magical: Tasha goes on an emotional rant about the court system Q invested in, and in return he froze her. Picard lashes out, "I can not allow you to do that!" And used Q's words against him. That's just one example and the entire series has these moments with this character. Geez, the man had an Indiana Jones vibe too, loving archeology and can give a monologue to describe an artifact's history and man, the guy can express the passion of what he's talking about.
I love Picard's ethics of what he feels is right; and it's hard to debate him when he's on a roll. Even Q mentioned he tend to visit him just to hear his speeches. This was the Picard who should've been in those movies, and if anyone mentions Insurrection - I thought Picard was on the wrong side on that one.

@STEPhon IT Yay! Another person with a real life photo as their avatar. Me, you and @Marynator need to start a group.
He sort of reminds me of someone I was in the Army with. Similar looks. (Sort of) (0kay, old bald guy, Brit) The guy from the Army was very controlled, similar to Picard. He'd ask opinions and acted like he was listening.
The guy from the Army was pretty cool.
Really watching Picard after being in the Army made me think of the Guy from the Army.

Well, the episodes where he plays chess are great because he always wins. Kinda like how Batman always figured out the Riddler but not as camp.
He's also a great foil for Q.
And Robert Justman nailed it with pushing Roddenberry to accept the legendary Patrick Stewart. Especially with some of those early scripts. Could other actors have salvaged those scripts? It's probably easier to find a 3-sided coin than to say "yes" or "no" to that answer but I'd be more inclined to say "no". Stewart himself clearly did something in the auditions that really got Justman thinking. Whatever it was would not have been small beans.
And, no, the edge of a coin isn't a side. Pretend it's a 2D object.

It's an interesting concept. Having to refer to the past suggests that present day people have forgotten something. Or devolved without realizing it despite it being depressingly visible ubiquitously. Now where's the mustard and postdated mayonnaise I want to put onto my baked Alaska salmon to add a little haute cuisine at?? Oh well. If people read Shakespeare nowadays they'd wish TNG were rewritten to have Picard revere Dan Savage's tabloid articles instead. Maybe the Kelvin or DSC universes can have a go at it, what with Picard making a comeback and all...
