As played tho, Sisko is a bad captain. Starfleet really should have replaced him when he became Bajoran Jesus and DS9 became an actually important posting.

"Hell, no we don't need to build a station here. We salvaged this station after the Cardassians left. It would be stupid to build our own when they left a perfectly good one right here. And I mean, look at this place. Starfleet can't build character like this. I don't wanna be walking down loving beige corridors all day or typing on square little bubble panels of various shades of depressing orange. I love coming to work and seeing these trippy wavy lines set in black and aquamarine. Look at this panel. THAT's culture, man. Just quit being a baby, get out of your linguistic comfort zone, and learn to read Cardassian. Everyone else here did."

Of course he was poo poo.
He was sent to a loving dead space station in the middle of loving no where to clean up the mess from third rate Elvis lizard nazi's.
It was a dead ended job to begin with.

But he got lucky when the wormhole was discovered and they couldn't fire his rear end without the space catholic Bajoran's crying about it.
They even tried to ram his rear end into a desk job when the Bajoran cock sucking was taken out of the equation.

sisko had no right to construct a new starbase. it wasnt a federation starbase. they were there at the discretion of the bajorans and lol if you think they're letting any other foreign powers construct a fortress in their border immediately after being occupied for 2 generations

The writers on DS9 weren't afraid to punish Sisko for loving up. I mean, he becomes obsessed with Edington for wounding his massive ego and then get kicked in the teeth repeatedly for it and he just never learns. "I meant to destroy that planet."

And of course:

Sisko made bad choices but he wasn't flat out insane like Janeway or comically incompetent like Archer. Come to think of it that's one of the few things Enterprise did right, of course the first Starship captain is going to gently caress up repeatedly.

For the first few episodes, sure, until the realization that 'gently caress these aliens are truly alien to us' sets in.
But they never seem to do that with Enterprise.
Its all 'thats not how we do it back on Earth' and 'we are better than you dirty aliens' vibe.

Just saw some episode where Captain Picard gets arrested and tortured by some weirdo alien dude who feeds him bad eggs and brings his daughter to work just to point out how lame humans are to her. Can someone explain for me how Starfleet weren't wiped out long ago if they're the kind of outfit loving stupid enough to entrust a dangerous secret infiltration mission in enemy space to some ancient French dude known for entirely for peace, diplomacy and monitoring spacial anomalies and poo poo, backed up only by Doctor Milf and a snarling brick shithouse Klingon guy? Don't they have Space Ninja Commandos to sneak that poo poo or anything?

Starfleet only gets by because for every crew of peace-loving gadabouts there's 10 more full of jingoistic hotheads with boners for covert action. The galaxy probably poo poo all over the Federation after Section 31 was disbanded.

God drat it'd suck to work night shift with her alone. Or ever be with her alone.

One thought of how much that you despise such a worthless crew member outranking half the people on board, and you'll never be on her good side again. Plus every time you roll your eyes at her obvious "emotional reading" you'd get a dirty look.

ED: Also given she plays, and loses at poker... yeah, holding a straight face can fool her. She's terrible.

in real militaries doctors and dentists and what-not are often relatively high-ranking, but they're not in the normal chain of command. you wouldn't get a dentist ever taking command of an aircraft carrier despite the fact that as a lieutenant commander he has a higher rank than someone else.


also those poker games are already pretty crazy. geordi's visor can clue him in on physiological changes when someone's lying (or poo poo could probably just see through the cards). data can watch and keep track of all the cards perfectly if he wants to.

riker probably knows how to mask his emotions well enough for troi not to pick up on it.



anyway my guess would be that the tng writers (or the early series ones, at least) would have said that troi wouldn't be bothered by someone feeling like they would like to bang her, because in the ~evolved sensibilities of the 24th century~ it's not a big deal that people want to gently caress, so as long as they were respectful to her there wouldn't be a problem

Didn't O'Brien and Bashir basically shut down Section 31 when they (indirectly) killed Sloan? Or did that episode end with "well he was just one guy, who knows how many others there are?"? I actually can't remember, I thought it ended with S31 becoming an even more rogue organization and the leadership cutting ties with them. If I'm making all that up then I want to amend my previous post to say that S31 is the only thing keeping the galaxy from making GBS threads all over the Federation.
