Picard in VOY situations / Janeway in TNG situations

[Drusilla]

If Janeway had been assimilated, a la "Best of Both Worlds," she would've locked herself in her bedroom for the next two months after being rescued.

In Sub Rosa (the Harlequin novel ep with Crusher), instead of coming down and trying to reason with Crusher like Picard unsuccessfully attempted, I can imagine Janeway either A) stealing Ronan away for a one-night stand and then dumping his ass at the nearest starbase; or B) just taking a phaser to him from the get-go.

I actually think Picard and Janeway would have made a lot of the same decisions, only their demeanor would have been significantly different.

I agree Janeway would have used Hugh against the Borg, and Picard wouldn't have killed Tuvix. But Picard would have never protected the Borg in Scorpion, he probably would have found a way to convince 8472 that the rest of the galaxy wasn't responsible for the Borg's action and then help 8472 against the Borg.

The interesting difference might be how Picard would have treated the Maquis. I doubt he would have made Chakotay first officer. He would have treated the Maquis much less equitably than Janeway.

Also in False Profit Picard would have put more security around the damn Ferengi and gotten themselves home.

Then there are episodes like The Void where the two of them would have clearly acted exactly the same.

Picard in VOY situations would...

- not kill Tuvix but would defend his rights

So if Beverly and Riker were combined without their express permission into Be'ker, Picard wouldn't do everything within his power to release his friends and colleagues?

I call BS on that, he'd move heaven and Earth to free them!

- tell Neelix to stay off his bridge

He was the freaking Delta Quad guide, why would he stay off the bridge?

Janeway in TNG situations would...

Have a whole lot of fun with Vash.

 

[Finn]

What would Picard have done if it was Beverly who merged with Neelix???

 

[SPCTRE]

What would Picard have done if it was Beverly who merged with Neelix???

He would've separated Bevlix and killed Neelix, just to make sure it wouldn't happen again.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Picard requests tea.

Janeway bitchfights the universe for coffee.

 

[Melakon]

Picard requests tea.

Only because he wants you as the side dish.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Believe me Picard does not want me, I am not Starfleet user friendly.

I disagree about Janeway using Hugh. Given how she reacted to Seven (and One in Drone / the Borg kids), your analogy doesn't make sense. If anything, it gives her the greatest joy to free drones from the collective. That much is clear. If you recall as well, Icheb was equipped with a Borg-destroying pathogen from his parents and Janeway rescued him even though said pathogen could have weakened the Borg.

I think she would have recognized Hugh as becoming an individual and would have given him the choice at least. She asked for One's assistance in fighting the Borg with unique technology but certainly didn't force him to do anything he did not wish to do. In the end of that episode, he made the choice to sacrifice himself for the crews safety (as did Hugh).

Unrelated, I adore "I, Borg". My favorite TNG episode probably. Poor Hugh!!!!!!

Nah I don't agree, Picard would never send a new lifeform to it's death. He might convince Tuvix/Be'ker to separate voluntarily, or call a conference with Geordie and Data to magically solve the problem, but there's no way he'd order a living being to be killed.

- tell Neelix to stay off his bridge

Picard doesn't like children on the bridge He would react like when that guy from the Neutral Zone wandered onto the bridge.

The second example would be how the episode would end. They'd use what they learned from the Thomas Riker incident to use the transporter to separate Beverly and Will whle keeping Be'ker as a 3rd entity.

Assuming it is swap the Enterprise for Voyager on their respective missions and not put Picard on Voyager and Janeway on the Flagship there is a great deal more that Picard could have done with a Galaxy Class starship stuck in the DQ than an Intrepid.

Ignoring issues like when they needed to land the ship the Galaxy class, according to background material, were intended for long term exploration missions without assistance for 20 years which would have made her much more self reliant (at least until the Holodeck went nuts).

Then again based on what Paris said in Caretaker the Enterprise shouldn't have been able to navigate the Badlands anyway.

Picard wouldn't have cared for the dual Captain/XO seating on Voyager at any rate.

Why would Janeway be flying off the handle? There were times she got angry and reacted in her anger (Equinox been the main example) but that wasn't the norm. Most of the time she was completely in control and not flying off the handle.

I assume you are not a Janeway fan Makarov?

Cough, cough, "Scientific Method", cough, cough...

Picard would not have been able to handle the Borg as well, we saw that in First Contact. One of the reasons I like that movie, his obsession/breakdown is believable.

But Picard is a trailblazer, Janeway benefitted from HIS experience.

He would have beamed him inside nebula and that way they would have both got their wishes.

It's a strange Frenchman, that drinks tea instead of coffee...


I merged your 4 posts this time. -Akiraprise

Yeah the first thing Janeway does is study Picard's quotes about the borg.

I've got another one on: In Scorpion Picard would never have allied with the borg. If anything he would have allied with species 8472. He definitely would have been on Chakotay's side in that debate.

Your evidence that Janeway would fly off the handle is one episode where she's basically a labrat in an alien petrie dish? Where the whole point was that they were trying to see how far they could push her?

In that scenario, any captain would have lost it. Including Picard. Maybe he would have lost it earlier, maybe later but he would have lost it.

She practically committed suicide in that episode, as Tuvok rightfully assessed: "it was beyond reckless". Someone else might have sought a more rational way to get rid of the aliens. Her way only succeeded because of... well, they needed the series to continue...

In my defense, I am new to this.

What a wanker.

Doing "Scientific Method" with TNG would have been awesome. Deanna becoming hyper empathic. Worf becoming less intelligent and getting more pronounced cranial ridges. Picard getting the same treatment Janeway got. Riker gets Chakotay's treatment. Crusher gets orgasms constantly. Geordi goes deaf.
