She left DS9 because Rick Berman was sexually harassing her.

His secretary had a 36C or something like that, and he would say something about “Well, you’re just, like, flat. Look at Christine over there. She has the perfect breasts right there.” That’s the kind of conversation he would have in front of you. I had to have fittings for Dax to have larger breasts. I think it was double-D or something. I went to see a woman who fits bras for women who need mastectomies.

Never knew he was such a pussy hound. Always took him for the "hole in the bedsheet" type of weirdo.

He's definitely a weirdo. There's nothing wrong with Terry Farrell's sweater meat.

Huh. Interesting. Even at a convention panel, even during this time of #meToo, that was not brought up or hinted at by Terry, she danced around the issue as something deal-wise with the producers.

I don't doubt you at all (though let's be fair, she is one of the hottest women of Trek) just surprised that Rick wasn't thrown under the bus by her given the chance.

There's always been a strange wall of silence.

Ex: It's still taboo to point out that Gene wasn't interested in sci-fi to begin with. That he had only one good idea which other writers picked up on. That his son is a dingleberry who slaps his father's "endorsement" on any crap he comes across, provided he gets a producer credit. Not surprising that some of that rubbed off on Rick. He was careful to couch his decisions in "what Gene would want."

Yeah, but that at least makes some sense because Gene has become so tied to Trek that if he were to be knocked off his pedestal, there's a real risk the whole edifice could come crashing down. So i at least kind of understand shielding him just for self-preservation to keep the meal ticket alive.
 
I wonder if Gene would have been okay with Captain Sisko dropping a chemical weapon onto a planet and polluting the entire atmosphere in order to settle a personal vendetta.

You always go full-Sisko.

Well he sperged about Undiscovered Country having some militaristic overtones that it basically killed him so yeah, I guarantee he’d hate genocidal Sisko.

Honestly, Star Trek the setting was what kept Ron Moore from going completely off the rails with his grim-dark, fedora-tipping atheism. 24th century Starfleet may have been reactionary and myopic at times, but Moore still wrote those characters with some positive traits, even in For the Uniform. Sisko didn't nuke the planet for lulz like we joke about, but as an elaborate, theatrical bluff to get Eddington to back down. Because he didn't, Sisko had to follow through.

Compare Sisko to Adama in the Remake and the difference in degree is massive. Sisko got his (or a certain tailor's) hands dirty often, but he's a paragon compared to Adama who not only lied about the location to Earth, continued the lie which split the fleet for an episode and refusing to recognize Zarek's authority as president which caused the mutiny in season 4.

Archer would have nuked the planet, lectured the survivors for being upset, and demanded an apology.

Only if his dog got sick during the nuking. Otherwise he would just give a generic speech about how there aren't any rules yet against nuking planets, but maybe there should be...
Then he'd move along on his merry way, never thinking about the Valakians I mean the nuked planet again. And Phlox would agree with him.

At this point, I'm convinced the Earth-Romulan War was caused by Archer, not the other way around. He, as president of the Federation, then ordered all fleets to use nuclear weapons and the background radiation scrambled all visual communications for a century, hence why no one knew what the Romulans looked like.

Count Bakula is still alive. I would almost be ok with Kurtzman and co making an Enterprise sequel series that showed just that...

Then again, Archer legit hated the Vulcans so much, I bet he actually *knew* that the Romulans looked like Vulcans, and that's why he declared war. He probably just never told anybody else, which is why Kirk and co didn't know 100ish years later.

To be fair, the Vulcans were pricks and would have deserved to be nuked, along with the Romulans.

Phlox literally condemned the Valakians to death. He committed genocide through inaction, and then patted himself on the back for doing it. At least Archer had a reason to hate the Vulcans, what the hell did the Valakians ever do to Phlox?
