…. Captain Picard.

""It's for the children…I'm a role model," Jean-Luc Picard awkwardly jokes when a Starfleet Admiral hailing the Enterprise notices the rainbow-colored "Captain Picard Day" banner in the background of their communique in "The Pegasus." Twenty-four years after he first said it, it's not just the kids aboard the Enterprise he's a role model to.

That seventh season episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, first broadcast in 1994, has given the fandom an excuse to celebrate Captain Picard Day every June 16—a rough approximation of the stardate the episode took place on—as a celebration for why we so dearly love Sir Patrick Stewart's noble hero. While it's perfectly befitting that a humble man like Picard would be irked by the "exaggerated impression" the kids aboard the Enterprise have of its Captain, the reason Picard Day endures for Star Trek fans is exactly that impression.

I like Kirk, Picard, Sisko, and Janeway. After that, not so much.

I knew Star Fleet was hitting a bad patch when I saw they'd given Picard command of a starship.

"We will…."???

I've never been a fan of Picard, AND suspect I never will be.

He can't hold a candle to Kirk as a captain.

Should have been a rear area bureaucrat instead of a Starship captain, if you ask me.

Commander Tuggs is the best captain in starfleet bar none

He was a humble hero? I never knew.
