We'll be ready."
** "The Wounded": Fellow Federation Captain, Benjamin Maxwell, is convinced the Cardassians are up to no good, and nearly starts a war by attacking a Cardassian convoy with his own starship. Picard is ready and willing to fire on Maxwell's ship to keep him from attacking again, and only because O'Brien can talk him down from destroying the Cardassian ship does the situation end peacefully. Then, right when the Cardassian representatives turned to leave, Picard delivers this bomb:
-->'''Picard:''' "Maxwell was right. Those ships weren't carrying scientific equipment, were they? A 'research' station within arm's reach of three Federation sectors? Cargo ships running with high energy subspace fields that jam sensors?"
-->'''Gul Macet:''' "If you believed the transport ship carried weapons, why didn't you board it as Maxwell requested?"

* Q: "I'm mortal! What can I do to convince you people?" Worf: "Die."
** And the retort:
--> '''Q:''' ''"Oh, very clever, Worf. Eat any good books lately?"''
* Captain Picard had [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOXT22Ghouw this scene]] in the episode "The Defector" where he owns Romulan commander Tomalak rather magnificently.
** Not to mention the previous scene in the same episode where he just [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHBI64imK34#t=4m18s lays into Admiral Jarok after he refuses to give up official secrets]]:
-->'''Picard:''' You already betrayed your people, Admiral! You made your choices, sir. You're a traitor! Now if the bitter taste of that is unpalatable to you than I am truly sorry. But I will not risk my crew because you think you can dance on the edge of the Neutral Zone. You've crossed over, Admiral. You make yourself comfortable with that.
* Picard luring two Borg drones into a Holodeck with its safeties switched off and ''gunning them down with a [[SenselessViolins Tommy gun]]'' in ''First Contact''. This scene was both incredibly BadAss (with a sharp white suit) and provided some very scary {{Foreshadowing}} of Picard's [[HeWhoFightsMonsters Ahab]] moment.
* Also: [[ThisIsSparta THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS]]!
** Built upon in Diane Carey's ''Ship of the Line'' novel for [[{{CrowningMoment/Literature}} another CMOA]] when Picard revisits Gul Madred.
* The entire episode "Starship Mine." Bonus points for using the Vulcan Nerve Pinch on a crook played by Tim Russ, who'd go on to play ''Voyager'''s Tuvok.
* The Picard from a universe where the Federation had been at war with the Klingons for the past twenty years got a good one in:
--->'''Klingon Commander''': Federation ship ''Enterprise''. Surrender and prepare to be boarded.
--->'''Picard''': That'll be the day...
*** He then takes control of the ''Enterprise'''s weapons personally.
** The crew of the ''Enterprise-C'' knowingly went to their deaths. They knew that returning to face three Romulan warships was certain death. They did it anyway, and their courageous sacrifice ensured peace between the Klingons and the Federation... just as it did in the original timeline.
** You can't mention "Yesterday's ''Enterprise''" as a [=CMoA=] and not include the speech he gives to the crew right before the battle. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tmk7jCbETIE "Let's make sure history never Forgets. The name. Enterprise."]]
* In "Unification I", Picard is trying to arrange a cloaked ship from Gowron for an undercover mission in Romulan space. Gowron is busy re-writing history to downplay the Federation's involvement in his ascension, and Picard eventually gets a hold of B'Ijik, a low-level official. B'Ijik asks Picard what the Klingons would get out of this.
--->'''Picard''': The only benefit to the Klingon Empire would be our gratitude.
--->'''B'Ijik''' (skeptically): That is what you want me to tell him?
--->'''Picard''': Yes. And, please add that, if he is unable to provide us with a ship, then I am sure there are others in the Klingon Empire who would be willing to help me. And then they would have ''our gratitude''.
** Ah, heck, Spock just ''turning up'' at the end of "Unification I" is a CMOA in itself.
* In "Unification II", there is a CMOA for Picard, Spock and Data but an equivalent Crowning Moment of Stupidity for Commander Sela, when after threatening the three of them with death if they don't do what she wants, she [[LockingMacGyverInTheStoreCupboard * LEAVES THEM ALONE IN THE ROOM* ]] while she wanders off to attend to her plans. What kind of loon leaves one of cleverest and most resourceful Captain in the Federation, a Vulcan of decades of experience, and an android with vast knowledge and incredible physical capabilities, alone in an office filled with electronics and other goodies, without watching them? Come on, tie them to the chairs, gag them, and then assign 3 armed guards apiece with orders to kill them instantly if they make a wrong move, and then you have merely reduced the odds to slightly less than certainty that they will still defeat you!!! But watching the three of them in action practically defines CMOA.
* There also Picard's moments when he kicks butt in the legal and diplomatic spheres:
** In "The Measure of a Man" when Picard is on the defense hearing to determine whether Data is considered property and goes on the counterattack. He asserts that this hearing would determine whether the Federation is capable of making a leap of a moral imagination to realize Data is a sentient being by most meaningful criteria and to rule him property is to sanction slavery. The fact he wins the argument by opening the eyes of the Judge to this innovative expansion of moral principle is a crowning moment where Picard shows why the United Federation of Planets is worth fighting for.
--->'''Picard''': Your Honor, Starfleet was founded to seek out new life; well, ''THERE IT SITS!''
*** On the other hand, he was going up against ''Riker's'' CMOA, with his argument as prosecutor (forced into the role by the overseeing JAG officer):
---->'''Riker''': Data is a physical representation of a dream, an idea conceived of by the mind of a man. His purpose? To serve human needs and interests. He is a collection of neural nets and heuristic algorithms. His responses are dictated by an elaborate software program written by a man. The hardware was built by a man. And this man...
---->''Flips Data's off switch''
---->'''Riker''': ...has turned him off. Pinocchio is broken. His strings have been cut.
*** The end of the ep has Data's CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming. Riker is feeling despondent about betraying a friend, when Data comes to get him. Riker is ashamed at his part in the trial. But Data, showing one of humanity's more positive traits, understanding, invites him to the victory party anyway, stating that Riker [[IDidWhatIHadToDo did what he had to do]]. Thus showing that [[EmotionalEmotionlessPerson Data is in fact deeply grateful for the sacrifice Riker made]].
**** Sadly, this was a military hearing and thus did not set legal precedent in either the status of civilians or civil court cases, as Lal and [[StarTrekVoyager the Doctor]] discover.
** And speaking of Lal, he also had one in "The Offspring," refusing to back down to an admiral who was ordering Data to release her to Starfleet.
--->'''Picard''': Order a man to hand his child over to the state? Not while I am his captain.
** In "Ensigns of Command," he opposes the arrogant and [[ObstructiveBureaucrat oppressively legalistic]] Sheliak who flog the treaty between them and the Federation to refuse to compromise on the matter of an unexpected colony on a planet Sheliak want, but cannot be moved for weeks. By searching the treaty, Picard finds a way to outmaneuver them and makes them sweat.
*** Then, when he knows he's got the Sheliak on the ropes, he terminates communications and waits for them to call back. Once they start hailing, he stands around letting the hailing tone sound, then casually walks across the bridge, inspects the ''Enterprise'' commissioning plaque on the wall and dusts it off, and finally wanders back to the center of the bridge before putting them onscreen. The closest Picard has ever gotten to "You know what? ''Fuck you.''" in the entire series.
--->'''Riker:''' You enjoyed that.
--->'''Picard:''' You're damned right.
*** Also in that episode, Data convincing the colonists (who would rather fight) to leave by practically destroying their colony ''with a single phaser''. He then brilliantly describes that the Sheliak are far more powerful than he is and that the colonists would have no chance whatsoever.
---> '''Data''': (After zapping the guards) "That was the stun setting. This is not."
** In "The Drumhead," Picard puts a particularly nasty [[GeneralRipper admiral]] in her place and exposes her as the paranoid witch hunter she is after being put on trial by her by quoting her father on the subject of curtailing life's liberties for the sake of the "greater good" just to piss her off and [[VillainousBreakdown goad her]] [[MotiveRant into a rant]].
---> '''Picard''': There are some words I've known since I was a schoolboy. "With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censored, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied chains us all irrevocably." Those words were uttered by Judge Aaron Satie, as wisdom, and warning.
*** That speech, pretty much on its own, makes this episode my second favourite Star Trek episode. (It was my favourite until I watched "In the Pale Moonlight", which is the best episode of any show ever. Or, to be fair, any show I've ever watched.)
** Picard really has too many to list. In "The First Duty", Picard finally gets his own back on Wesley Crusher when he suspects him of covering up the death of a cadet in a training accident. He beats him down in true Picard style:
--->'''Picard''':The first duty of every Starfleet officer is to the ''truth'', whether it's scientific truth, or historical truth, or personal truth! It is the guiding principle on which Starfleet is based. If you can't find it within yourself to stand up and tell the truth about what happened, ''you don't deserve to wear that uniform''.
** ''The Enemy'': The Enterprise is facing down a Romulan warbird which has every reason to blow them out of the sky, and with the shields up Picard's losing his chance to rescue his officer and the second Romulan whose presence would stop the imminent battle. He opens a channel to the enemy ship, says basically "We've both got powerful ships and well trained crews ready to die for this, but the only way we're going to avoid starting a war is by trusting each other" and drops the shields. ''In front of a fully armed Romulan warbird''. His engineer is rescued, the return of the Romulan officer avoids a battle, and two enemies move one small step towards peace. All it took was one quick speech and ''balls the size of a planet''.
* "The Best of Both Worlds" had (at least) one for both Picard and Riker that would define the season-ending CliffHanger for the next two decades, when Picard, assimilated into being Locutus of Borg, issues his threat to Riker "Your resistance is hopeless...''Number One''." While the typical viewer breathes "Never!" at this, Riker gives the only response it deserves, "Mr. Worf... fire!"
** It ''would'' have been more awesome had the supposed superweapon not epically failed to work.
*** As TVTropes points out, even a CurbStompBattle CAN be awesome. The looks on the crew's faces (and the viewer's at home) when the Borg completely pwn their alleged superweapon was priceless.
*** Also, keep in mind that everyone watching it at the time was left hanging with that last awesome exchange ''for an entire summer''. It may lose the impact when the cliffhanger's resolved on the next DVD you popped in, but at the time that was pretty much the greatest season finale ever put to screen that didn't involve JR getting shot.
** Even if the superweapon had worked, it really would have been a [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Crowning Moment]] for Geordi or Commander Shelby. ''Riker's'' [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Crowning Moment]] comes from simply leading one starship into battle against a foe that had destroyed ''forty starships at once'' right before that and coming up with a daring plan that works.
*** Which brings us to Data, who [[spoiler:physically overpowers Locutus, stares him down, and defeats perhaps the most implacable enemy in Star Trek canon ''with his mind.'']] Awesome beyond all measure.
* Although the character is a subject of much debate, Captain Jellico gets one when he owns the (supposedly secret) Cardassian attack fleet preventing a war before it can start, and gets Picard back in the bargain.
** Simply getting Troi to actually wear a freaking uniform would also count - even the spectacular cleavage was getting rather old by that point.
* Data has his day in "Redemption" when he is put in command of a ship with a really insubordinate First Officer. At the critical moment of executing his plan to find a cloaked Romulan convoy, the officer is being difficult and suddenly Data is roaring at him to obey his order or else! It's a moment that took everyone, both character and viewer, off guard to see the android get that tough.
** Earlier on, the XO comes to Data requesting a transfer. When grilled on why, he admits that he doesn't feel Data would make a good captain. Data's response? "I understand your concerns. * {{beat}}* Request denied." The look on the guy's face is priceless.
** What's even cooler is when Data flat out disobeys Picard on a hunch, and turns out to be right! The very same XO who showed him no respect addresses him as "''Captain''," showing that Data has earned his respect in full. [=CMoA=] for sure.
** Further building on that, Data comes to Picard, willingly submits himself for disciplinary action for disobeying orders, and gets off with an enthusiastic "Nicely done!" from his CO. And of course, one must remember that Picard was initially reluctant to give Data command of a ship, so Data ''guilt-tripped him into it''.
* Gowron's comes at the end of "Redemption" with him triumphant as the new undisputed leader of the Klingon Empire confronting the captured child who dared to claim his position for the traitorous House of Duras. When the child futilely yells, "The Duras family will one day rule the Empire!", Gowron responds "Perhaps," then flashes a wicked grin with those bulging eyes, "but not today!"
* Three words: "Resistance is futile".
* In "Q Who," Q attempts to join the ''Enterprise'''s crew, saying they would need his help against the dangers of the galaxy. Picard snidely refuses, saying they are more than ready for any threat, and so Q hurls them across the galaxy to face the Borg. After failing to heed Q's warnings and losing eighteen members of his crew to the Borg, Riker tries to accuse Q of being responsible for their deaths instead of Picard. Q's only response?
--->'''Q''': "Oh, ''please.''"
** The way that line is delivered is absolutely ''chilling.'' With two words, Q proves he's just as dark, dangerous, sinister, and powerful as he is foppish and amusing.
*** There's also a CMOA for the Borg, near the end of the episode. Picard has wisely decided to get the hell away from the damaged Borg ship, which starts regenerating itself and tears after the ''Enterprise'' in hot pursuit. During the chase, there's this incredible moment where Picard and Riker are watching the Borg ship repair itself after taking a half-dozen torpedoes to the face, and we see this NecroCam style closeup of the Borg ship ''knitting itself back together circuit by circuit.'' The perfect OhCrap moment.
** Picard also gets one near the end of the episode when he swallows his pride and delivers one of the [[MostTriumphantExample greatest]] AintTooProudToBeg speeches ''ever'':
--->'''Picard:''' You wanted to frighten us. We're frightened. You wanted to show us that we were inadequate. For the moment... I grant that. You wanted me to say ''I need you''? ''[[ThisIsSPARTA I!]]'' '''[[ThisIsSPARTA NEED YOU!]]'''
*** And Q smirks, snaps his fingers, and sends them all back to Federation space.
*** Point to Picard: The way he delivers it sounds less like being scared into humility than, "This is ''ridiculous.'' You want me to beg? ''Fine.'' You've thrown us against an unbeatable enemy and eighteen of my crew are dead. ''I'm begging.''"
* This troper reckons Q's moment comes in "Déjà Q" after being [[KarmicTransformation turned human by the Continuum]] and dumped [[NakedOnArrival stark naked]] on the deck of the ''Enterprise''. No, that's not the awesome bit (though the DVD commentary reveals it ''was'' one for John De Lancie). The awesome bit comes later. After a while of getting used to the fact that the crew (especially Guinan) really, ''really'' hates him, he can't do ''anything'' [[BroughtDownToNormal without his powers]], and at least one of the species he's tormented in the past has come back for vengeance, Q is bewildered when Data nearly gets himself killed trying to protect Q from the Callamarain. After a while of trying to absorb this fact, and an "I'm not your father confessor" speech from Picard. Q heads for sickbay and gives a (for once) quiet Data the following speech:
--> '''Q:''' There are creatures in the universe who would consider you the ultimate achievement, android. No feelings, no emotions, no pain... And yet you covet those qualities of humanity. Believe me, you're missing nothing. But if it means anything to you... you're a better human than I.
** And then he goes off to [[HeroicSacrifice commit suicide]] in order to protect a crew that doesn't like him. He totally earned that [[CrowningMomentOfFunny mariachi band]].
** Q seems to get the ButtMonkey treatment by other members of the Q Continuum a fair bit, which leads to a pair of Crowning Moments near the end of the novel ''Q-in-Law''. The first is for Deanna Troi's mother Lwaxana, who goes absolutely nuts when [[spoiler: she learns Q's been playing her for a fool in a faux romance.]] When Q tries to take back the [[spoiler: Q powers]] he'd given her, it fails. An eight-page beating commences, with Lwaxana punching Q ''into the warp nacelle'', using him for a racquetball, and finally turning Q into a tree and nearly chopping him to pieces (starting ''below the belt'') before Deanna and Picard get her calmed down. Her rant after Q's apology only serves to top the whole thing off:
-->'''Lwaxana:''' ''"You're so disdainful of Humanity. Of mortals. You keep saying you're above our emotions, and hold them in such disdain. You know what I think? I think you're not worthy of them. You're not good enough to feel love."''
*** Shortly after that, Q2 shows up, and claims an entire second CMoA when he explains that [[spoiler: he was responsible for Lwaxana keeping the powers long enough to teach Q a lesson he'd never forget (Complete with taking ''pictures'' of Q's beating to show the rest of the Continuum), before hopping over to another spot and hitting Q in the face with the fact Picard was right on target with his HannibalLecture: Q is indeed behaving in a very ''human '' manner.]]
* Mention needs to be made of the opening scene of "Descent Part 1", where Stephen Hawking plays a hologram of himself, and beats Issac Newton and Albert Einstein at poker:
-->'''Einstein:''' The Uncertainty Principle will not help you, Stephen. All the quantum fluctuations in the universe will not change the cards in your hand. I call. You are bluffing, and you will lose.
-->'''Hawking:''' Wrong again, Albert. (Shows his Four of a Kind)
* Doctor Crusher gets one in "Descent, part II", when she hides the ''Enterprise'' inside a friggin' ''star'' to evade a monstrously powerful vessel flown by AxCrazy Borg, and then triggers a ''solar flare'' to utterly annihilate said Borg ship shortly thereafter.
* "Face of the Enemy" is one long CMOA for Counselor Troi. There's a ''reason'' we call it a GoodTroiEpisode...
* Guinan had a CMoA in ''The Best of Both Worlds, Part II'' with her "beyond friends, beyond family" speech to Riker.
** And another in ''Night Terrors'', when she breaks up a fight in Ten Forward by blowing a hole in the ceiling with a {{BFG}}:
--->"This is a little souvenir I picked up from Magus III. That was setting number one. Anyone wanna see setting number two?"
*** Good thing the ceiling was only an interior bulkhead, and not part of the ''Enterprise'''s hull....
* In "Skin of Evil", the ''Enterprise'' crew encounters Armus, an alien being who murders Tasha Yar, and attacks Riker, then sadistically gloats about it to Counselor Troi, trapped in a downed shuttlecraft. Throughout the episode, the ''Enterprise'' crew tries to reason with Armus, but Picard decides to have one last word with him:
-->'''Picard''': You say you are true evil? Shall I tell you what true evil is? It is to submit to you. It is when we surrender our freedom, our dignity, instead of defying you.
-->'''Armus''': I will kill you and those in there.
-->'''Picard''': But you will still be in this place. Forever, alone, immortal. (Armus begins growling) That's your real fear, never to die. Never again to be united with those who left you here. (Armus begins screaming) I'm not taking you anywhere.
** So in Armus's rage, Picard gets Counselor Troi and her shuttlecraft mates beamed onboard, along with himself. He then destroys the crashed shuttle and has Armus' planet declared off-limits, to ensure nobody ever faces Armus again.
* The BigDamnHeroes moment by Admiral Riker and the refitted Enterprise in All Good Things. Beverly ''Picard's'' medical ship the ''Pasteur'' is under attack by two Klingon Birds of Prey, their shields are completely gone, and one hit would spell doom for our heroes. Then, the ship's sensors pick up a Federation ship decloaking. The next thirty seconds are possibly some of the best CG in the entire series, and the coolest aversion of TwoDSpace ''ever.''
** Not to mention the {{BFG}} strapped onto Riker's refitted ''Enterprise''. It looks like a phaser cannon, but it blasts a hole ''clean through'' an entire Klingon battlecruiser, presumably knocking down its shields in the process.
* Dr. Crusher's investigation of a Ferengi scientist's murder against orders and at risk of losing her medical license. It ultimately involves her flying the scientist's shuttle into a star to prove that his new shield works, and vaporizing the culprit.
