I mean... Crimes of war Sisko?

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 38 points 3 weeks ago

War crimes are not a burden. After all, he can live with it.

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

He was a really good dad, so it evens out.

[–] GuyFawkes@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago

Those war crimes saved the Alpha Quadrant!

I mean… Crimes of war Sisko?

Fucking yes! More people recognizing Sisko is a bastard.

[–] Solumbran@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

For me it was always obvious.

I mean, Janeway was thrown into a hostile environment with basically nothing, and sometimes picked the less moral choices, to make her crew survive.

Sisko decided to ruin the lives of basically a whole planet, just because he was to arrogant to admit that he got defeated.

I think there's a matter of context, and Sisko has no way to justify his behaviour other than "I see myself as god so I can do whatever I want"

Hey, if space-Jesus is going to make his omelet, he's gonna have to break some eggs.

I'm sorry, but were you under the impression that Janeway, in any fashion, fucks around?

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 34 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

(Except for the salamander fucking around.)

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

that was not around. that was a committed salamander relationship

[–] GuyFawkes@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Committed? I heard they split like immediately after their first brood, THEN became deadbeat parents who never saw them again!

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

yeah, but that was when they was filthy hue mahns. as salamanders they would never

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 points 3 weeks ago

Those salamander babies are going to grow up and evolve into intelligent reptilians, and Janeway and Paris will be their Adam & Eve.

[–] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.dev 32 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Even Troi had to kill someone to complete her bridge officer test.

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

yes but she felt bad about it

[–] TheFerrango@lemmings.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I sure feel bad about sacrificing everyone in this planet, but I really want that admiral promotion

[–] veeesix@lemmy.ca 17 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

Hol up. My feelings matter?

[–] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 34 points 3 weeks ago

Well no, not yours.

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 16 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Not really. It's just what captains say to keep crews slaving away and risking their lives without compensation.

[–] xkbx@startrek.website 4 points 3 weeks ago

Their feelings matter it’s just that nothing’s gonna really be done about it

[–] evidences@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe you're the exception that proves the rule

[–] Hux@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 weeks ago

“Medical team to the bridge, Kirk is burning red shirts!”

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yes, sure... now put your security officer suit on and beam on this episodes dangerous planet.

[–] kieron115@startrek.website 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Just a little murder, now and then. As a treat!

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 7 points 3 weeks ago

Think of all the murders she did when the camera weren't rolling.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 11 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Coffee addition is "ok", murder was absolutely necessary.

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 5 points 3 weeks ago

"if i somehow couldnt do murders anymore id probably just fly into a black hole" -Janeway

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

No fucking way. Janeway like her coffee SO MUCH (how much is that, you ask? I will tell you, she loves her coffee SO MUCH!!) that she would even go to the extreme ends of not murdering someone to get it.

Possibly not Tuvix though, bc fuck that one guy in particular.

But a normal everyday murder, on a Tuesday, she would absolutely forego in order to have her coffee fix.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Lmao, given the choice between coffee and killing Tuvix she would still kill Tuvix. Like any good captain.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 3 points 3 weeks ago (6 children)

We all have to make sacrifices, in order to kill Tuvix.

But the important thing is, can she find a way to also get coffee out of the situation?

If the answer is anything at all related to proton torpedos, then the answer is an obvious yes!

Man, when Pike said that line I burst into tears. Incredible performance by Anson Mount.

Sometimes you’ve got to break some eggs

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

To be clear, the eggs are people.

[–] IratePirate@feddit.org 6 points 2 weeks ago

Weird omelette, but I'll try it.

How come Picard gets to wear his v2 uniform but not Sisko? (Also why's his hair upside-down?)

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 11 points 3 weeks ago

ummmm temporal anomaly (for both questions)?

What's even crazier is they had to promote Sisco from Lt. to Commander to give him a whole space station, then promoted him to Captain and gave him a ship for his space station. When I'm pretty sure if your running a space station you should at least be an Admiral. Did this never make sense to anyone else?

[–] King_Bob_IV@startrek.website 8 points 2 weeks ago

It was meant to be a backwater station around a planet that was unstable. Mostly they job was be in the way of cardasian return and try valiently to get things towards Fed membership. I believe he had been a Lt commander aboard ships serving as the XO. He was at least a project lead at the ship yards. He may have even run the yards, I don't recall right now.

He was pushed into a command role that was intended to bring him back to where his career was many to be.

The rank of a station commander depends on the importance of the station in the fleet. Admiralty are posted to stations that are region command stations. The postings serve as command of the fleets in the region as well. For smaller posts the rank to command them drops a lot. Sisko was placed in command of one small station with a couple runabouts. The rank of Commander suits the post. Once it got more important he was already imbedded deeply with the the bajorans.

Admiral Marcus be like:

Let's kill the entire crew of the Enterprise so I can get away with starting a war

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

My issue with the “you’re not a burden” is that, it may be true and that you can totally be a burden.

Whereas I think it’s always okay to ask for help is universally true.

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 4 points 2 weeks ago

That's... uh, that's the one you have an issue with?
