I mean... Crimes of war Sisko?

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 29 points 2 months ago

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

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

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

[–] GuyFawkes@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Those war crimes saved the Alpha Quadrant!

[–] Norin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, but those war crimes were cool.

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

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

(Except for the salamander fucking around.)

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

yes but she felt bad about it

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

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

[–] veeesix@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Hol up. My feelings matter?

[–] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 26 points 2 months ago

Well no, not yours.

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 months 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 3 points 2 months ago

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

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

Maybe you're the exception that proves the rule

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

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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

[–] kieron115@startrek.website 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 6 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Opisek@piefed.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 months ago

Not the political compass I'm used to

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

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

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

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

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 4 points 2 months 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 2 points 2 months 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 2 months ago (1 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!

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (5 children)

Well, she could have airlocked Tuvix & fired a photon torpedo at him just to see if a cute flower and some commander would pop out. Or perhaps coffee beans, you never know until you try.

Sometimes you’ve got to break some eggs

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

To be clear, the eggs are people.

[–] IratePirate@feddit.org 6 points 2 months 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 8 points 2 months ago

ummmm temporal anomaly (for both questions)?

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.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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 7 points 2 months 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
