Sisko/Picard Meeting Make Top 11 Crossovers in TV History
- Thread starter Photon
- Start date
That's the point that their final scene together. Picard was more than itchin' for Round 2 against Sisko, and thanks to the Prophets, Sisko realized that he needed to get over the past, see things a bit more objectively, and move on. He stopped blaming Picard.
That's the nice thing about conflict -- great things can come out of it through understanding, like Sisko un-blaming Picard once and for all.
On the side note, and in hindsight, I thought it was *extra* chilling to see a Prophet-as-Picard-as-Locutus! If that ain't symbolism for Sisko getting over his irrational anger against Picard, I don't know what is.

Mein Gott! I can't decide if it's the silliest or coolest thing I've ever saw. 
It's not much of a crossover really, is it? Hardly "Superman and Spiderman - Together at Last!". Since it was the first episode of DS9, Sisko was just some guy at that point. It might look like a mighty crossover in retrospect, but at the time? Not so much.
I think part of it was that it was two headlining captains together for the first time on TV, as opposed to a B-lister like Troi in TATV or Mirror (!) Tuvok on DS9.
But on the other hand, I strongly agree with Damask: Where's my Trials and Tribblations?!
Q: How does In A Mirror Darkly count as a crossover? Unless you mean the USS Defiant herself and if that's the case, I can see a valid argument for its inclusion (the ships being characters themselves).
Trials and Tribble-ations was definitely a stronger crossover...
Pfft, and TMNT/Power Rangers was? At least the $6 Million Man and the Bionic Woman got married
James Kirk had his pregnant wife and child stoned to death by peaceful native americans and you didn't hear him whine about it. Sisko grow a spine.Tell it to Khan and Nero.

Cross-overs, Janeway and Riker in Death Wish. Brief but nice.
Holding a grudge against someone is a human/ natural emotion. Raw humanism is what made DS9 great. Sisko underwent a traumatic incident with the loss of his ship, crewmates, and his wife. His only goal was to raise his son without getting the both of them killed. He viewed Picard as weak for having provided the crucial data that led to the fleet's destruction. Sisko was probably upset that Picard hadn't resigned or offed himself in guilt over his inactions.
Possibly, there's no way Kirk wouldnt have noticed Dax anyway!
Arr, just reminds me how awesome First Contact would have been with Sisko aboard the Defiant. Sisko lost his wife but gained some wisdom and peace on DS9, Picard was violated and only thought he got over it.
Good thing he realized Picard was just another victim, that he was just being a jerk, and learned to move on. Otherwise he'd come off as a SERIOUS asshole if he continued to be that way for the show.
Because, of course, real people always have completely rational feelings.
Considering that Locutus murdered his wife, I'd say that Sisko did an admirable job of controlling himself. He's certainly still angry at Picard -- though I think he's also partly just angry at the way the captain of a posh ship behaves so condescendingly towards commanding officers of starbases and is lecturing him about not having the luxury to raise one's family in good circumstances -- but he didn't exactly blame Picard for Locutus's actions or try to hold Picard responsible. He's pissed and doesn't like Picard, but it's not like he actually tried to drum him out of the service or have charges pressed against him.
That's a good point. It may not be so much that Sisko holds Picard responsible for Locutus's actions as that he doesn't think a man who's had his mind compromised should still be commanding the Federation flagship (though he may not take it so far as saying he should be forced to resign or should have killed himself).
