        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”

      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.

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

          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!

            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.

    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?

      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.

    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.
