I mean... Crimes of war Sisko?

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 32 points 5 days ago

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

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

I mean… Crimes of war Sisko?

Fucking yes! More people recognizing Sisko is a bastard.

[–] Solumbran@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days 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 29 points 5 days ago (1 children)

(Except for the salamander fucking around.)

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago (3 children)

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

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

yes but she felt bad about it

[–] TheFerrango@lemmings.world 3 points 4 days ago

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

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

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

SNW is just

When it aired it gave me back some faith in humanity, for even as they had strayed from the Way with Discovery, SNW showed us they still do know de Way

(gif related indirectly, I didn't want to post star wars so I wanted star trek gif with the word "way" in it")

[–] veeesix@lemmy.ca 16 points 5 days ago (4 children)

Hol up. My feelings matter?

Well no, not yours.

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 15 points 5 days 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 5 days ago

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

[–] evidences@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Maybe you're the exception that proves the rule

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

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

[–] kieron115@startrek.website 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 7 points 4 days ago

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

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Sometimes you’ve got to break some eggs

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

To be clear, the eggs are people.

[–] IratePirate@feddit.org 6 points 4 days ago

Weird omelette, but I'll try it.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 9 points 5 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 4 points 5 days ago

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

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

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

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 2 points 4 days 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 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 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.

[–] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

...Unless you seduce Q ... Then you can basically ensure coffee..

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Then one can become coffee & just ouroboros oneself in an endless self-gratifying loop.

[–] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

As long as Tuvix is not in this oruboros, I'm in

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

But if he were, you would get to kill him every loop...?

[–] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 2 points 4 days ago

Computer, disable safety protocols

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days 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 4 days 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.

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

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 10 points 5 days ago

ummmm temporal anomaly (for both questions)?

[–] Opisek@piefed.blahaj.zone 6 points 5 days ago

Not the political compass I'm used to

Archer: Racism is ok.

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days 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 3 points 4 days ago

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

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 days ago

Admiral Marcus be like:

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