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

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago

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 13 hours 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.

As a treat.

Sometimes you’ve got to break some eggs

To be clear, the eggs are people.

Weird omelette, but I'll try it.

[-] Solumbran@lemmy.world 46 points 1 day ago

I mean... Crimes of war Sisko?

[-] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 34 points 1 day ago

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

[-] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 9 points 21 hours ago

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

[-] GuyFawkes@sh.itjust.works 2 points 19 hours ago

Those war crimes saved the Alpha Quadrant!

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

[-] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 7 points 20 hours ago

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

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

[-] Kirk@startrek.website 14 points 1 day ago

yes but she felt bad about it

[-] TheFerrango@lemmings.world 1 points 11 minutes ago

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

[-] FaygoRedPop@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago

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

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 32 points 1 day ago

(Except for the salamander fucking around.)

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 8 points 21 hours ago

that was not around. that was a committed salamander relationship

[-] GuyFawkes@sh.itjust.works 2 points 19 hours ago

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

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

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

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 7 hours ago

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

[-] veeesix@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 day ago

Hol up. My feelings matter?

Well no, not yours.

[-] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 day ago

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

[-] evidences@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

Bro it's a post scarcity society what do I need a pay check for?

[-] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 hours ago

Eeza joke. You laugh, you move on. Thinking ruins it.

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

[-] Kirk@startrek.website 10 points 23 hours ago

ummmm temporal anomaly (for both questions)?

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 10 points 1 day ago

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

[-] OpenStars@piefed.social 3 points 20 hours ago

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 3 points 20 hours ago

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

[-] OpenStars@piefed.social 2 points 16 hours ago

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 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

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 9 hours ago

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

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 2 points 8 hours ago

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

[-] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 3 points 6 hours ago

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

[-] OpenStars@piefed.social 2 points 4 hours ago

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

[-] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 1 points 1 hour ago

Computer, disable safety protocols

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

[-] Opisek@piefed.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 day ago

Not the political compass I'm used to

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 23 hours ago

Admiral Marcus be like:

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