Star Trek: The Next Generation - Ranking Every Major Character Worst To Best

Of course, Jean Luc is in the top five. He’s the star of the show, so he’s got the inside track. Whether he’s kidnapped by the Borg, or orating an inspiring speech, or just playing that weird flute. Picard is definitely one of the most interesting characters on the show.

What holds Picard back from that number one spot is we never see him suffer true consequences from some very traumatic events.

Picard is tortured by both the Cardassians and the Borg. He should have serious PTSD that takes at least a season to recover from. Yeah, he has a fistfight with his brother on their chateau, but that just doesn’t cut it when it comes to character growth.
