They did try to give it an overarching story-line in the form of Q, but the writers and producers didn't do as good a job as they could have in tying it together. I think they learned that lesson, because the DS9 story is much more well-rounded.<br /><br />I will say that Picard was better suited to the Enterprise than he would have been to running a space station, if only because he showed a preference for exploration.Andrew Phulehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13852165812561669705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624977554799216806.post-76717379388030857952011-10-29T03:28:59.260-04:002011-10-29T03:28:59.260-04:00Ok, I'm willing to admit that my judgement may...Ok, I'm willing to admit that my judgement may have been cloudy and my memory foggy. I didn't watch the series back to back like you did. <br /><br />I think Sisko may have seemed overall more focused and purpose-driven to me because his story had an overall arc.<br /><br />NextGen was just a series of random encounters.Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13130866586868941692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624977554799216806.post-49822155292008156212011-10-28T20:45:53.304-04:002011-10-28T20:45:53.304-04:00He is growing as a character, but there's a di...He is growing as a character, but there's a difference (to me) in his actions between his rejection of his role as Emissary and dealing with that vs what I mentioned about Picard and Jadzia.<br /><br />Also, even as much as he's grown (I'm now in season 4) he's still quick to show his temper, something which I find undesirable in a position of that amount of authority.Andrew Phulehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13852165812561669705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624977554799216806.post-21355434980482548352011-10-28T15:49:40.023-04:002011-10-28T15:49:40.023-04:00Plus, he thinks Jadzia is hot.Plus, he thinks Jadzia is hot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624977554799216806.post-62046192926361072152011-10-28T15:49:16.993-04:002011-10-28T15:49:16.993-04:00Not hypocritical, just growing as a character.

He also spends the entire series scoffing at his role as Emissary only to run off with the Prophets at the end. he is not being hypocritical, he is a character experiencing change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
