Janeway and Chakotay

See? Who says this board isn't timely?

That or she had just gone flying around the proverbial bend at warp 9. Because of what those aliens had spent four days doing to her, she was basically playing with a deck that consisted of the Ace and Queen of spades, the ten of clubs, a couple of tarot cards, a Get out of Jail Free card from a Monopoly game, a Jigglypuff Pokemon card, Buck Bokai's rookie Topps card, and a waffle recipe cut from the back of a Bisquick box.

Sometimes, as Kirk says, fortune favors the foolish. Other times, as Sisko says, it favors the bold. And here, Janeway reminds us that sometimes, it favors the completely nuts.

More Janeway bashing. It just gets old and old and old. If the Star Wars fans are racist, it's apparent that the Star Trek fans are sexist. At least it seems that way in my eyes.

Contrast to VOY the GOAT always won the argument because she was a know it all, in a region of space where it should've been vital to accept some of Chakotay's Maquis/ Starfleet experience. It's not a good way to display the 1st officer's footing for the progress of a series where they're lost is space.

I'm too disgusted to respond to this.

It was not my intention to bash Janeway. She did what she did in "Scientific Method" because she had been driven to the very edge of insanity by four days and nights of deliberate and systematic torture, and then pushed past it by the senseless death of one of the crew.

Picard made the same decision. YMMV clearly, but I would not want to work for a Starfleet captain who would let aliens kill his/her crew - I'd rather work for a Starfleet captain who tried to save all of them.

And if that's not a choice? How do you decide? How does a captain decide who lives and who dies against a lot of more powerful beings? I may not like Picard but that was very much an unwinable situation.

Unfortunately, sleep deprivation is very much a breaking point for many. That she was able to figure out the problem is pretty damn impressive.
