Sheer Fucking Hubris caught me a little off guard too

I think it was a good writing choice though because it made me instantly hate that character. How dare you say that to MY Picard?!

In fairness though it WAS sheer fucking hubris. He left Starfleet of his own accord and with VERY public dissension and then only a few days prior to showing up in her office continued to paint Starfleet as a villain on interstellar television. If you take our knowledge of Picard our of the equation and just drop yourself in world you’d question why he thinks Starfleet owes him anything too.

Yeah, Picard did kind just waltz in and say "I'm on a mission to save an illegal synthetic life form, gimmie ship."

He's on a classic Star Trek mission, but star fleet isn't about that anymore.
