Today, June 16th, is the most important day of the year. Happy Captain Picard Day, everyone.

[@Allangulon]

It's the 17th where I am! Like Star Trek I'm set in the future!

[@scockery]

Where I come from it's Satisfactory Locutus Day.

[@RareHarmony]

Indeed a time of celebration.

[@nabukuma]

I didn’t know I needed this today 🥲

[@wj3186]

Picardteenth. ☝️🤨

[@Galacticavatar]

You missed the opportunity to have the video end with Q saying, "Sometimes, I think the only reason I come here is to listen to these wonderful speeches of yours."

[@swishfish8858]

We already have a video that does that. You're a Star Trek fan, you've seen it. :P

[@josephbach1]

agree

[@Trek001]

*raises hand* I would have included a line from Encounter at Farpoint - "If we're going to be damned, let's be damned for what we really are"

[@tryscience]

Although Captain Picard is a fictional character, I have long admired his ethical perspective and integrity. It serves as a model and striking contrast with what we see in the world today.

[@tombrown407]

I only just noticed how subtly Sir Patrick Stewart says "condemn a man for his... bloodline" with profound disgust at the very idea that Saati is doing such a barbaric thing.

[@KEVMAN7987]

"The first duty of every Starfleet officer is to the truth!" - Jean Luc Picard "I'm with Starfleet. We don't lie." - Wesley Crusher

[@MrFluffytheTurtle]

"As I expirence certain sensory input patterns, my mental pathways eventually become accustomed to them. The inputs are often anticipated and even missed when absent" The same may apply to forgetting ones self.

[@johnplayzguitar1118]

Thank you for celebrating this greatest of holidays

[@TerranceChilds-ui8nh]

It's my sincerest hope that the writer who made these speeches got an Emmy for them

[@TakedaIesyu]

This is really, quite honestly, beautiful. Thank you so much for making this, and thank you for including scenes from ST: Picard!

[@Theomite]

I only started revisiting this show last year and I have to say that I had almost completely forgotten the pre-9/11 sensibilities this show exuded with extravagant profligacy. Every one of Picard's speeches and arguments felt like a rush of pure sanity and reason and it had been oh so very long since I'd tasted such vintage. It's almost enough to make one believe in hope again.

[@JGG1701]

Thanks Ryan. I wish the whole planet Earth could see and LISTEN to this.

[@frankiemendez4601]

Picard always had this amazing wisdom. The writers who created his character are brilliant. As a manager who grew up watching Star Trek, I take alot of cues from Picard.

[@hawksm2783]

Curiosity is what brought me to Star Trek, but the ethical situations is what made me keep watching and Picard is like a beacon of ethics for humanity, although even he had flaws at times.

[@brianlindstrand934]

I just watched the teaser for PICARD season 2. This makes for a wonderful follow-up!

[@digitaltartan]

Watching the speech to O'Brien at 4.45 and feel it closely describes Picard at the start of Picard season 1.

[@swishfish8858]

I'm so glad the "fear will destroy us" speech from ST:P made it into this thing. Really overlooked moment in an extremely overhated series.

[@wallaroo6510]

I'd follow this guy into the unexplored expanse of deep space

[@ynvch]

I miss shows that offered some valuable lesson other than "the world sucks".

[@beingsshepherd]

Just don't tell him you _seek peaceful coexistence._

[@stewartmoore5158]

Adding a speech from Picard season 1 and 2 is like adding a Ring Pop lolly to finally crafted jewels.

[@DoremiFasolatido1979]

I'm pretty sure an exaggeration that extreme qualifies as psychosis.

[@Starhartdeer]

The ends do not justify the means.

[@chrisrabinson1]

[@Capt_Dango]

Recently Picard has been reminding me of my dad....I hate and love it

[@alexsummers9140]

The Sheliak dialogue is obviously not being a role model, Ryan. Any scumbag lawyer can find a contractual loophole.

[@DistractedGlobeGuy]

He's using creative thinking to resolve a problem that might otherwise have ended in needless violence. If that's not role model behaviour, I guess I don't know what is.

[@lcdubs7847]

Some context would've been good in order to understand the lessons Picard provided.

[@IllidanS4]

Actually, the Prime Directive is more of a guideline than a rule.

0:39 I loved that moment of Picard ..... hated that they pulled a deus ex macina to revive him! The Picard series could have bee na springboard for other characters and an amazing end for one Jean-Luc Picard!

[@AlyssMa7rin]

Imagine if P S1 was how they killed Picard permanently. It’d have been almost as disgraceful as the sequel trilogy

[@PeoplecallmeLucifer]

@@AlyssMa7rin honestly it should have been a standalone one season show that'd close picard's story and launch characters like Rios and Rafi forward

[@AlyssMa7rin]

@@PeoplecallmeLucifer I agree, to a point. But if I had to pick one of the three seasons of that hogwash, it’d be the third. It was at least more watchable than TNG S1 :P

Captain Picard is only my role model when he drops the philosophy and goes “we need to shoot a FUCKING Borg right NOW!!!!!” And then - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZq7ZJqnaLeZrLM

[@robertonline6543]

O yeah ...he really pissed off the shelliac😂😂😂. They kinda deserved it lol😅

[@jimv1983]

These are great examples of why I think Picard is the best captain. And the video didn't even include my favorite one. “Your report describes how rational these people are. Millennia ago they abandoned their belief in the supernatural. Now you are asking me to sabotage that achievement, to send them back to the dark ages of superstition and ignorance and fear? No!”

[@Verbalaesthet]

How could you add stuff from the Picard series? Bah

[@schuylerhaussmann6877]

Quite disappointing to have Picard as a role model for a leader when I was a kid, and to seeing the world leaders today. Current president of USA cannot even put a sentence together.

[@DHGameStudios]

0:36 What show is that? I thought this was Star Trek only.

[@magnuscamper]

TNG - Yes ST Picard - Hell No

[@michaelwallbrown3726]

anything after Enterprise isn't canon

[@CaptainPositron]

It's weird, but I think Generations was the last time we ever saw Picard. After that movie he turned into the violent and inconsistent "JL" of the movies.

[@stewartmcminn7773]

Probably went alittle nuts after knowing the only person to help him overcome things was his brother who died. After Generations he was truly alone.

[@metazare]

All of the ST Picard speeches pale in comparison to the writing that was in TNG. They're bland uninspired little bits of dialogue that are creatively bankrupt.

[@MedalionDS9]

I believe in TNG Picard... not the one that came in the movies and Star trek PEEcard

[@RyansEdits]

Is the namecalling what Captain Picard would do?

[@lpk6372]

@@RyansEdits you think he cares what Picard would think about his actions? It's just something he can pretend he believes and stands for. But culture and womanaz is the problem to him.

[@TheGallifreyanLegacy]

@Mwdalion Wow... you really don't understand anything about Star Trek, do you? Stop watching the clickbait KZbinrs.

[@swishfish8858]

Take a page from "TNG Picard". If you don't like something, give an empassioned speech about why. Don't just say that it's pee, that's not what he would want you to do!

[@maxamos7]

New trek tends to write their characters as emotional infants and fairly one dimensional. Maybe it's a sign of our culture today. I have no idea. The one clip from Picard wasn't a great speech by any means. It was Picard telling someone he had just met that "he knows her and trusts her"... It's not believable by any means. The other clip talking about rights/responsibility wasn't bad, but by no means stands up to TNG standards. It's more emotional than idealistic and seemed to have little weight behind it. I also find it strange when people give their opinions the response tends to be to basically shut up and not watch... why can't I watch and critique? Bad trek is still better than no trek.

[@SamLevin-bg2dh]

I prefer real role models, like Jesus Christ, but hes fine for a fictional role model i guess.

More than once I have wondered how it would be if Christ came now when his words and actions could be recorded in great detail.
