didn’t Picard let himself get hit by a spear or something to prove he wasn’t one though? pretty sure he was like “fuckin OW. see? SEE? DAMNIT to SHIT that hurts.”
That’s the one. A noble gesture that might have been avoided by simply having someone on watch for natives during the repairs to the observation post, or by keeping the injured alien sedated, under observation or even isolated in sick bay.
Unfortunately the plot required then to be remarkably careless and unobservant.
