For context, Picard was instrumental in getting Gowron into his position as leader of the Empire. Then once Gowron got into power he quietly rewrote the history books, eliminating any reference to the Federation helping him, putting distance inbetween himself and Picard. But Picard was having none of that crap, and gently reminded him who got him into power.

It was Robert Justman who saw Stewart at a local stage play. He immediately knew this was the guy for Captain. Justman took Stewart to Roddenberry's house and the first impression by Roddenberry is classically told as being a horrific experience for Stewart as Roddenberry was not very nice about it all. Eventually Roddenberry was outgunned by the production and realized his lone dissenting vote would go no where so he dropped the matter and said ok to it.

Sisko was a moral filter of sorts. When necessary, he upheld Starfleet morals to the highest standards. When that wouldn't cut it, he'd block them and take make the personal sacrifice to resort to pragmatic methods, such as using Garak to get Romulus to join the war, knowing (at least originally on the surface of his subconscious) what the outcome of that would be. He may not have arguably been the best at those specific tasks you mention, but he was certainly the most necessary person in the position at that time. They very well may have lost the war if he hadn't been in charge and done some of the things he did, and able to do it only as a last or necessary resort without letting it drag him completely down and irreparably harm and corrupt him.
@hagamapama7 жыл бұрын
supertekkel1 Archer reported to torture and piracy during a situation where he was forced to serve as a warship and engage in an asymmetric war. He was fighting what was essentially a guerilla war. Anyone fighting that kind of war will end up doing a few things they regret. Ask Kira Nerys. None of the other captains ever had to cope with being as severely outclassed as consistently Archer was, unlike the Enterprise ships the NX-01 was almost never the toughest ship around and was in fact usually significantly outclassed and underpowered. And half the time there wasn't even a procedure at all for what he was up against until he invented it. He spent his whole career as a guinea pig trying to figure out how humanity fit in the greater interstellar community and was making it up as he went along..

We cannot know if it was a reference or not, but if it would be, it could also be referencing to Sherlock Holmes, who has the habit of purposefully misleading people by choosing which information he gives and when, and also of playing the violin (fiddle). However, the balance of possibilities is that IF we choose to take it as a reference, it is more likely that he has played a game instead of reading a book more than hundred years old. ;-)

Manipulation, yes, deceit, no. Deceit is to say one thing to a person and mean another in order to full them. Manipulation is to say things in such a way as to get your way, whether the other person recognizes it and is forced to act accordingly or misses it altogether and gets fooled. Manipulation can be deceitful, but not all manipulation is deceitful. Instead, deceit is inherently manipulative. A threat can be veiled in such a fashion that the other party cannot assert you were not being polite. Pickard pretty much told the other party that they are willing to cooperate with others (with all the implications such a course of action carries) if Gowron is not willing to cooperate with them. He didn't insult him, and he didn't say they will cooperate with others regardless of what happens.

A fight with less than dozen participants may feel like a huge thing, or the future of Quarks casino hangs in balance and it has drama, but when Picard throws a casinochip worth tens of thousands of sentient lives on the table, he must do it like James Bond so it would have some drama in it.

Two can play at this game. -"Tell Gawron Leader of the High council of the Klingon Empire..." = You have a very high position that you don't want to lose. A title is only a Title. -"That his Arbiter of succession John Luc Picard needs a favour..." = I really need your help, I am helping you as Arbiter by the way if you forgot. -"It is for a mission that could have repercussions across the quadrant" = This involves you too, so Its in your best interest to give me what I need. I'm doing your bloody work. -"The only benefit to the Klingon Empire would be our Gratitude." = This is far more valuable than all the money we can give you. If you understand what our gratitude means. As non-monetary principles is more valuable then money. -"Yes, and please add, that if he is unable to provide us with a ship then I am sure there are others in the Klingon Empire that will be willing to help me." = let me give you an alternative scenario if things don't go as I want them to. Your Enemy can be my benefit. Your Throne is not secure. It's just business. -"And then they will have our Gratitude." = Now you realise what our gratitude means. This will make your throne unsecure. And we would have lost an ally but gained another. -"And please tell Gawron that I am immensely gratified that he is prospering so well." - Think about your position. Don't loose it. You don't want to go back to what you were before not a long time ago. The future might not be so fruitful. You have to secure that future by helping me. -"A tribute to his skilled leadership." - I know you are stupid, you know it too. You got to power and maintain it by luck. So be a bit smarter this time. Cause luck can run out. There ain't no tribute to your leadership.

the authority for sure he spoke for the whole Federation here. No wonder the Federation tired to kill him. LOL

500 years from now people will still fondly remember watching this as a 14 year old. Best TV series ever made. Little did we know it was such a high water mark. :(

Yep. And I bet that a lot of people didn't upvote this because they didn't understand that, you're basically saying that the aging disease will be totally cured in a few more years.

@@kenlamoreaux8517 "514 year old people." Yes. Why not? There is no law of physics or biology that states that, with sufficient understanding of the aging disease we will STILL not be able to cure it, and ultimately reverse its horrible physical effects.

@@oenrn Perhaps a few, but not many by percentage. How many kids of the past 50 years ever listened to the excellent radio shows of the 30s, 40s and 50s? They were available for my generation in the 70s and 80s on cassettes. And although I was interested in the idea of listening to them, I didn't want my gift money spent on buying them as opposed to something else. I've listened to many of the main Sci fi radio series in the past few years through apps dedicated to providing them, but that was a middle-aged adult experience. Kids today could easily do the same. But how many actually do or ever will, or even know about the radio shows? Unfortunately, the same thing will happen to all classic TV shows. I've seen it happen to music, where new totally garbage music from today (and the past 35+ years) is familiar to each concurrent young generation, but they know little about superior older music, which once they experience it, they almost universally love it, and bemoan the fact that the new music being made for them is so utterly crappy. Point is, being superior doesn't ensure cultural longevity. It is very sad!
