They also put children on the ship, so maybe the admiralty isn't so smart.
On the other hand, the few things they do know about him includes that he disobeyed orders cancelling the Farpoint mission, declared red alert in drydock, and that he has conversations with letters of the alphabet.
Don't forget the Snake game.
The thing that gets me about this episode is how it compares to All Good Things.
In AGT there's a scene where Picard is in the past on the bridge and he's ordering them into the anomaly, an act which seriously threatens to destroy the ship, and for which he gives no good reason. The crew reasonably objects, and Picard launches into an unpersuasive and platitudinal speech about how awesome the crew is. And the crew goes along with it.
Contrast this with the scene in Allegiance where "Picard" orders them into the anomaly, an act which seriously threatens to destroy the ship and for which he gives no good reason. "Picard" assures them with an unpersuasive and platitudinal speech. And the crew mutinies.
While it's true that in Allegiance the crew were already suspicious, it's also true that in the AGT scene the crew didn't know Picard well enough to give him the benefit of the doubt.
That's nice, but it'd really be cool if he was also the messiah of an alien religion. Oh well.
More like the military governor of a port city. Even if Starfleet isn't a military organization, the Bajoran Militia most definitely is one. And by means of the Bajoran soldiers under his direct (even divine) command, Sisko exercises legislative, executive, and judicial power at the equivalent of a municipal level, even extending over the civilian population of the station.
I want to see the timeline where Sisko declares DS9 an independent state.
Mirab with sails unfurled!
Joey, have you ever been to a Turkish recruitment office?
My headcanon is that the author of the holonovel wasn't as well versed in early 20th century slang as they purported to be, and the phrase is an in-universe anachronism.
I'm going to start using this expression in every day conversation.
