Yeah since when did Picard shoot first and ask questions latter. The situation in Insurrection is exactly the type of thing he would have talked his way out of on the show, why did it need to turn into a blood bath again. Also once we get the plot twist that the Baku kicked the Sona off of the planet and now they are dying slowly and painfully there are no straight up good guys. Now on the show Picard would have refused to take sides once he learned this and used it to force some sort of truce but in the movie he just uses it as another excuse to kill Sona. The twist didn't change anything so what was the point and Picard is so out of character I don't even think of him as Picard.

I grew up with TNG and I hate the movies because of this, it's painful to admit but it is true. I can't stand the TNG movies.

What stuck out for me in FC, was his almost casual writing off any crew member who had been assimilated. Never mind he's living proof you can be de-borgified, shoot to kill!

If he had ever met Seven of Nine, that would have been a really awkward conversation. ;)

Yeah, not to mention we already had Picard go through this character arc twice on the series and it was handled much better.

Also why was it just some random person from the past who he is never going to see again who called him out on it? Why did that work? The scene would have worked a little better if it had been Crusher I think. I mean he already has a relationship with her and we know from the series that he still kind of feels guilty about having to give the order that resulted in her husband's death so I think it would have worked a little better if she were in the scene, plus it would have given her something to do in one of the movies.
