      Sisko was firmly a Gray Jedi. Always on the side of the Light, but sometimes one has to get their hands dirty to move things along.

      Janeway: “I will never allow -”
      Sith: “We have coffee.”
      Janeway: "I’m going to personally tuvix the shit out of any je-die I find, the women and the children too."

      Aeronmelon is right about Sisko, and Janeway was forced into a desperate survival situation while still doing her best to maintain the ideals of the Federation.

      Kirk and Riker wouldn’t comprehend (nor bother to) the force, they would just gravitate towards where the hot women at.

      “Set course to the nearest sith bikini planet, we need to perform … erm, like emergency plasma polarity switch manifolds maintenance or something.
      Pink alert!
      And no protective measures, I don’t wanna come across hostile.”

    Something that I feel should get more attention: bowl-cut half bangs get super itchy. I am suspicious of any culture that settles on them as a stylistic default.

    Live long and prosper with the dork side,
    or die & become a shitty monochrome ghost.

            That one is his cookie, that he’s showing you as an example.

            I would imagine you get another one… but then, he’s a Sith lord, so I’m not sure I’d trust on that.

        No, no - that is for badly written not written characters that switch sides like Italy during WWII.

        The S(h)ith had longevity, life through force (my headcanon to make for a better world building is also that Sidious was actively keeping Anal Kin alive through force, thats why the roasted wiener guy deaded immediately after the static-electricity challenged teacher “did”).

        But it’s not all fun & cookies - sith also had to suffer the insufferable Darth Cleanex

        Did you ever hear the tragedy of Tuvix The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the Janeway would tell you. The dark side of transporter accidents are a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing himself, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught Janeway everything he knew, then she killed him in a transporter cycle. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.

              Lul

              (But there was a flower (orchid?) in the transporter, so the monster is actually three things together - yet somehow less than the sum of the three.)

        Not anymore… that those still alive would admit to publicly:-).

        The doctor said he had something to add, but now all he ever says is: “please state the nature of the medical emergency?”
