Don't you have a depreciated picture of Picard physical abilities because you have seen him as Professor Xavier in a rolling chair? Don't forget he was also the mighty Gurney Halleck, expert in knife fight, in a previous life. 
Ah I tend to hop between seasons these days, 
Must have gotten it mixed up with another ep.

Not to mention Uriel Septim in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion!

Picard has always been able to take care of himself, but like I said, he is much more aggressive and violent in the films than in the tv series. RedLetterMedia's First Contact review talks about this, specifically in part 2. Watch it here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-f3bscZa0E
Skip to 1:48, where he begins his analysis of the differences between tv show Picard and movie Picard. I still enjoy the TNG films for what they are, but he's absolutely right.

Re-discovering Amigas after a bit of an absence!
"Is there a John Luck Pickered here?"
Aha! A "Q" quote
He was my favourite character from TNG"treasures to satiate, desires both subtle and gross, but it's not for the timid"
And another
"Picard: Q? What is going on here? Where is the anomaly?
Q: [pretending to be deaf] Where is your mommy? Well, I don't know."
Apparently not. Wikipedia says Generations is set a year after Next Generation ended, First Contact two years after that, Insurrection another two years on, and Nemesis four years after that.
Next Generation - 2364 - 2370
Generations - 2371
First Contact - 2373
Insurrection - 2375
Nemesis - 2379
So... no!

I went with the missus to see Star Trek II when it first came out and I came out of the cinema almost in tears...
Me: "He's dead....."
Her: "It's just a film...." :roll:
Me: "You don't get it... Spock... he's dead....." :wooha:
Her: "It's just a bloody film!!"
She likes weepies, Angela's Ashes-type films and chick flicks.

I like Star Trek, Space: Above and beyond and stuff like that.
We agree to differ in our choice of films.

I dipped in and out of the Original series, but was hooked when TNG first showed.
It was brilliant, however my favourite has always been DS9. That series and particularly Capt Sisko showed a different edge to the Federation, a little more confrontational, less willing to try and find "another way".
I also loved the fact that it was a frontier station dealing with two aggressive races, Cardassians and the Dominion and rather than always seeking to compromise, they armed the place up with 5000 torpedoes!
I also liked the development of the Ferengii, Bajorans and Cardassians. It was an interesting counterpoint to the sometimes sterile federation stories, especially the ones featuring Quark and Rom.
The Dominion were also an interesting concept, almost like a Federation gone bad. Great to see how that worked.
The only downside as I saw it was the lack of Borg, I loved the Borg. Part of Sisko'sd charm to me was his burning hatred of the Borg, and consequently Picard, who he blames for his wife's death at their hands. The first Episode, Emissary, where he confronts Picard was a classic! From then on I was hooked.
With the Borg in mind, has anyone else spotted this interesting little crossover? Assimilation2
A crossover story of TNG, Dr Who, Cybermen and Borg. It only came out in May, I feel compelled to have a look for a copy!

I watch it if it's one, but never sought it out. More of a Star Wars fan, although George Lucas' infernal tinkering has utterly destroyed my childhood now. (The bollix only lives around a mile from me!) I do agree with the person who said that the JJ Abrams one from a couple of years ago was very good, although can see how it would have ruffled the feathers of the purists.
Babylon 5, tho... now we're talkin'. And made on Amigas, too.

Loved the story arc in B5 but never could get around to seeing season 5. If there ever was a "just one more episode" series, that was it
