Acting Out Of Character

Both suicide and murder are equally bad, because they're the same sin. However, there is justifiable killing, such as in self-defense or in accordance to a just war. But, in Worf's case, he did so out of revenge, and you could say it's second-degree murder or manslaughter (klingonslaughter?).
Picard is rightfully upset by the incident, but does nothing about it but put a nasty letter in his file, which does nothing to keep him from a promotion (a letter of reprimand ends your career forever in real life). Keeping him on only makes him more like a child trying to be an adult. His objection to Worf killing himself in light of a debilitating injury only makes him come off silly. But it's only a tad egregious, as I said, because Picard is such an arrogant snob. -

Wesley was unusually forward and insensitive with Picard in parts of "Samaritan Snare".
Worf saying that women were weak ("The Outcast") felt too blatant and regressive.
Pretty much the whole crew in "True Q" seemed unusually apathetic about Amanda becoming a Q.
The whole crew also seemed incompetent in "The Game" and somewhat "Rascals" and unusually brutal in "Phantasms".
On the other hand, Picard's "Shut up, Wesley!" is a wonderfully in-character out-of-character moment; the unusual circumstances did give it justification. -

I am of the belief Wesley is the love child of Beverly and Picard and that Picard had Beverly's husband killed to cover it up. That might be considered out of character.
