I was bothered by the fact that Picard told his people to shoot at anyone assimilated by The Borg. If that order had stood when he was being assimilated, he would not be alive to make the call 6 years later.
shareRiker tried plenty hard to destroy the borg cube knowing Picard was on it, as he should have. Picard was just lucky.
shareThis was an emergency situation.
shareThat doesn't make him a hypocrite. Other people chose to save him, he didn't beg to be saved.
And he may have come out of the experience knowing that he'd much rather have been shot than stay a Borg.
His decision was made based on multiple factors. Mostly I think he knew the hell that was being assimilated. But there was also a desperation. The Borg were making headway through the ship and the fate of history itself was hanging by a thread. Expediency was important and he didn't want anybody making the classic zombie movie mistake of not shooting a loved one turned undead/Borg.
I do agree that "movie Picard" is far more brutal and more "action hero" than TV Picard, and that's not the best writing, but I think his decisions are understandable or even justifiable.
