    I feel like I’m not on this sub enough to get the joke. Are we referring to the Tuvix incident?

        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")

    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.

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

    That’s definitely not the text Sisko should have. I think it got switched with Janeway by accident. She didn’t arrange the death of a Romulaan high official to involve another nation in support of her war (and do a whole episode about how they can live with it), or poison whole planets for personal vendetta. 🤷‍♂️

        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”
