- Captain Picard was mistaken for God. Twice.

- Captain Picard can make stating the time sound impressive.
- Captain Picard regularly lectures a god on morality.
- Captain Picard threw a saddle at a pirate.
- Captain Picard went back in time in order to get stabbed through the heart. Again. And it still tickled.
