* {{Retcon}}:
** In "Where No One Has Gone Before", a hallucination of his mother appeared, implying she survived to old age. It's shown in Season 2 that [[spoiler:she hung herself when Picard was a child, and he only imagined her as having lived that long to cope with the pain]].
** "All Good Things" hinted that he would suffer from Irumodic Syndrome, which Season 1 brought to pass and eventually killed him temporarily. Season 3 reveals [[spoiler:it was never Irumodic Syndrome, but misdiagnosed as such. It was really a leftover from his time as Locutus, made so the Borg could pass his DNA onto a descendant they could use as a transmitter for their new hive mind, and assume full control of Starfleet.]]

* ChickMagnet: Dr. Crusher, Mrs. Troi, Arda, the Borg Queen... all express an interest in him, to vary degrees of befuddlement or total disinterest (or in Lwaxana's case, as close as the man will come to total screaming terror). Meanwhile, "Tapestry" shows a younger Picard was something of a hound, but in middle age his skills in the charm arena have gotten pretty rusty.

Added DiffLines:

* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Deconstructed. This is his biggest character flaw.
** When he has an opportunity to destroy the Borg collective he doesn't because Hugh has become an individual with rights and it would be wrong to sacrifice him. The Borg wiped out entire civilizations in the Delta Quadrant, and came close to destroying the Federation, all because Picard couldn't bring himself to compromise his morals.
** After the synth attack, Starfleet abandoned their attempts to evacuate the Romulans. Picard reacted by resigning in protest. By doing so, he squandered his ability to use his authority as an admiral to save many Romulans, leaving them all to die instead.

* NotAfraidToDie: He's fully prepared to sacrifice his life in performance of his duty. He defeats Nagilum by threatening to destroy the ''Enterprise'' and everyone onboard rather than let Nagilum kill half the crew for his amusement, as well as convincing Tomalak that he's really ''not'' bluffing when he says he's prepared to [[BadassBoast fight to the death]], even though it would mean the destruction of ''[[TakingYouWithMe both]]'' their vessels.

He's also perfectly willing to die rather than assist the Borg when they kidnap him. Unfortunately they have something ''much'' [[YouWillBeAssimilated nastier]] planned...

* BadLiar: If there is one area in which Picard has a problem, it is that he is an atrocious liar. Such as that time he tried to brush off Lwaxana Troi by saying he was going to show a visiting ambassador how the ship's ''doors'' worked. Lwaxana, we remind you, is a telepath and an empath. And then there was the time in "Phage", where the admiral on the other end of the phone can clearly tell Picard's not that bothered about the ship's engine trouble delaying getting to the mind-numbingly dull luncheon.

* LetsGetDangerous: In Season 3, after discovering Vadic's target is [[spoiler: [[LukeYouAreMyFather his son]]]], it only takes moments for the jaded, guilt-ridden retired admiral to step aside for the return of ''[[HesBack Captain]]'' Picard. Taken to another level when it turns out the BigBad is [[spoiler: [[HijackedByGanon the Borg Queen]]]] and he pulls out even more stops to ensure [[spoiler: the Borg are finally defeated for good this time]].

Added DiffLines:

* BerserkButton: Picard is almost always composed and reasonable but there are some things that can seriously piss him off:
** The Borg are a ''huge'' one. He absolutely ''hates'' them with a passion and for very understandable reasons due to how they kidnapped and mind raped him to nearly destroy the Federation. Even years after, he still struggles with the trauma and will fly into murderous rage when he encounters them.
** Q. Picard makes no secret of how much he dislikes him due to his immaturity and ow he uses his powers to screw with everyone around him for fun. This gets downplayed as the show goes on and the two develop a [[VitriolicBestBuds grudging affection for one another.]]
** As a leader who sees the crew [[AFatherToHisMen as his greatest responsibility]], he takes anything that harms them very personally. Even if you're an omnipotent being, he will still tear you a new one if you hurt anyone under his command.

* ForeignCultureFetish: This Frenchman certainly seems very fond of Shakespeare, Tennyson, Arthur Conan Doyle, Earl Grey tea, English mythology (e.g. Robin Hood), Royal Navy hymns... (''Literature/TheAutobiographyOfJeanLucPicard'' justifies this and his MisplacedAccent by saying that the nuclear war in the 21st century led to a stronger British influence on French culture.)
