And it wasn’t like with Picard where he made a decision and apparently felt good enough about that it was business as normal once made.

Like In The Pale Moonlught when he brought the romulans into the fight.

There were no good answers. No ethical ones. He’ll have to live with it, and he can.

Good point! Maybe I should give tng another binge, cause I'm only remembering him as this stalwart of Starfleet doing everything by the viewscreen.

In the pale moonlight is DS9, they needed the romulans to join against the dominion/cardassians so he did some unethical things that garak came up with to get them on side.

Picard is a paragon of federation virtue, and he was never in a situation where all the options were just as bad. There always a clear way forward.

(Though I do have to wonder what was said about data blasting the aqueduct.)

My bad, I misunderstood your previous comment. Thanks for explaining it to my dumb dumb behind.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

No worries.

I do like both shows, but I also have this insidious headcannon that TNG is a federation holodrama produced as propaganda (exactly like Cops from the 90s)

This is the second or third interjection I've seen from you in the past week I've been stuck up a frozen hill. I feel blessed to be part of one.

Inspiration tends to strike from all manner of random vectors. Glad to have landed in this one.

This just got recommended to me by someone else! Totally checking it out, of my local library! Because we should support our local libraries.

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.
