Garak has other fish to fry...I hope that the great grand son of Josiah 'Jed' Bartlet becomes the new president
And Garak as his advisor
President Bacco's Future (Spoilers)
- Thread starter Admiral_Young
- Start date
I'd think they'd be more likely to arrange things so she would run again--and win. Bacco's been a dang good president--and I'd think "the security of the Federation" would warrant keeping her.
Megga dittos on that.
But the question is...who WOULD run against her? And on what issues, anyway? "I'll bring Andor back into the UFP"?
Really, the only thing I'd ever object to with Bacco are her actions in Zero Sum Game.
I seriously doubt Section 31 has the capacity to implement election fraud on this scale. You're talking about trying to rig an election being held on 150-some-odd planets and God-knows how many colonies, ships, and space stations. It's just too large to pull off -- especially if Section 31 wants to keep itself secret.
I can think of a couple of different scenarios for an anti-Bacco candidate, but they all cross into story idea territory.

That would be good enough for me

I could see Bacco deciding on not running for a second term or even running and losing to...

I think Akaar fits his job and the tie in to TOS doesn't hurt.
I think Akaar has soften somewhat since he first was installed as Commander-In-Chief, sure he's still a by-the-book hardened person, but if you've read his character since he first became head of Starfleet I do think some development has happened. I'm a big fan of his, and he and Bacco have worked well together I think.
Yeah? What was wrong with that?
1) I was merely responding to the other poster's idea of a "Section 31 presidency" candidate. My argument was only that they would be more likely to support her than some new person. I'd say she's proven her willingness to "do what is necessary".
2) No one was talking about rigging the whole election. There are more than one way to ensure Bacco would win--blackmail of the candidate, flat-out leaks to the press...
Perhaps some spoiler tags are in order...?
Yes it is unlikely to be changed.

^ Nah, that only seems to happen to characters who originated on a TV show...
(And with R&D being so new, perhaps that should be spoiler coded, as the posting you are responding to is?)
