and then her CO and his #1 got fragged in a Borg attack and she got promoted by dead man's shoes.
How the hell is she Captain?
- Thread starter DimesDan
- Start date
Which is exactly what happened to a certain young Lieutenant Commander Jean-Luc Picard aboard the U.S.S. Stargazer in 2333, and he turned out okay. If anything, he had an easier time in his first year than Dax, she only had the Borg invasion of the Alpha Quadrant to deal with.
The funny thing is that the medical report said that the CO died from a phaser wound in the back.
Except Ezri did not 'deal with it', unlike Picard did with stargazer's crisis in his youth. She was the writer's favorite in 'Destiny', though.
Interestingly, days after 65 BILLION were dead due to starfleet's (including her) utter failure against the borg, Ezri was in a very good mood, making jokes and complaining that she's not sent on an exploratory mission, instead being kept home to help the survivors.
In 'Zero sum game', the same writer again went too far with playing the 'cool' card.
Ezri's command style in said book was atrocius:
Apparently, she puts 'looking cool' above giving her XO essential information, taking sadistic pleasure in seeing his - and the rest of her crew's - emotional turmoil caused by believing themselves as good as dead.
As she was portrayed in these books, ever since her symbiont took over, giving her completely new motivations over the ones she had as an unjoined trill, Ezri is a complete sociopath.

You're certainly not one for coming to conclusions that don't take their premises to their greatest extremes, are you?
That was as more an observation of the general manner in which you conduct yourself -- finding the most extreme possible interpretation of any given piece of evidence or premise, and then refusing to compromise on that extremity in any way -- than it was an argument.
Sci
You are talking about yourself.
Your refusal to compromise is heavily documented in the threads you participated in.
And every time I went along with your rhetoric (including various logical inconsistencies) for long enough, your argument boiled down to ~"my interpretation/points/etc are also possible given the facts/established events/etc; and who cares that they're improbable (most times, highly improbable)?"
PS - an observation without argumentation IS a non-sequitur.

Um, we never saw Ezri as an unjoined Trill. She was introduced as joined and so we don't know what her motivations were before joining.
We didn't see her as an unjoined trill, but we were told plenty about her motivations and goals back then - especially if you include trek lit - which you do.
Right, because your arguments are always the most logical and probable interpretation.
I think we should just give Sci and Edit_XYZ their own private thread where they can wage their ongoing battle to their heart's content, like the two Lazaruses trapped forever in swirly limbo between universes.
Which is why I requested this thread was closed.
Or they could just do it in PM.
Let's analyze this thread:
I came with a motivated/logical point about Ezri.
Sci, JD, etc couldn't accept it, but neither could they reject it - as such, they resorted to bickering.
If you want to complain about 'conflict', you should address your complaints to them.
As for me, I will most definitely not restrict my postings to only points they can 'take' in order to manage their apriori/preconcieved assumptions.

Posing as a discipline censor is more than a little ironic coming from your part.
A 'stylish masturbator' poster? Really?

This shit is going too far. It's entering flame territory. Chill out lads. We're all fans here 
As for Ro: I think her making Captain was a forgone conclusion when she was aloud back into the fleet, provided the admiralty didn't hold a specific grudge against her. Her skills, sense of duty and bravery were evident in TNG. The tactical training didn't hurt either. If i'm not mistaken, Picard even thought that she would have been a Lt.Cmdr by 2370 if the whole Garon II thing didn't happen. I think he said something along those lines in Preemptive Strike. IMO, if she had never defected, she probably would have had her own ship by the time the Dominion war started..

Mulling it over, she has to have had at least the same kind of black mark that worf got against his name when he saved jadzia instead of carrying out his mission.
But then again starfleet are probably hurting so bad for officers they'll allow anyone with experience, and there's no question she has that.

And your point is what exactly?
I chose the avatar that I'm using because I like it, it has Daniel Craig with a magnificent soup-catcher and that it says stylish masturbator is just a "happy"coincidence.
Oh, and why hyperlink to my profile on here? Given the quote function used here (which you should learn to use) it seems very odd.
