Just brushing up on a little danish.
It does bring to mind one question: How did the Maquis treat their fellow colonists who refused to fight? Because you know there had to be some.
Would the non-Maquis colonists be derided as "traitors to the Cause" or some other pseudorevolutionary horseshit? Groups like this rarely take kindly to those who won't join them.
Well, Archer did it too.
He used the Xindi attack to his "federational way of life" to justificate himself to all the moves that he did on S3.
A very convenient paralel to justify the Afganistan war on those days.
Torture.
The warp coil stolen.
Murdered.
The mission must be accomplished by any means that be necessary.
I think that line was even more dark than that crossed by Sisko.

I would be curious how it turned out,but I would not pay On principle
Yesterday, this thread was at 289 pages, and this morning it's at 348!! (most of which don't seem to discuss the Enterprise...).
Are you sure? The oldest post that's said to have taken place yesterday is post #6767 on page 339. I guess this would vary a bit depending on time zones and stuff, but I doubt that it'll make that big a difference.
Page 289 was about 11 days ago.
Here's one more. (Mine makes two.)
Certainly true, he was even more despicable than Sisko.
Why? Since it's obvious the window can be used as a screen without issue, it makes sense. All the ships are covered in windows, with the Enterprise-D having massive windows in Ten Forward. Making it an actual window atleast gives some excuse for why the bridge isn't buried deep within the ship.
Consider it a backup, incase external cameras are damaged or there's a full systemwide loss of power. It may also help crew who have a different visual system to humans.
On a military ship in space it's certainly a silly idea. With that said, a military ship in space wouldn't have such a vulnerable bridge and Starfleet isn't exactly military focused.
I must have missed that. Could you sum those up? Because I can't think of any... my main objection to the window is that it offers literally no added value compared to a viewscreen.
This. Absolutely this.

And my axe
Now I know, was it something I said?
Well, he too always had Paris.
How is that a negative? Sounds more like a neutral point to me.
We'd probably be having the same conversation if every ship since TOS had a window, but then they removed it in the Kelvin Movies and Discovery.
"What's the point of a viewscreen if it does everything the window did?"
At least if you lose power to the screen you can still see what is in front of you.

Nope, but he won. Same reason Sisko didn't, really. The winner gets to write the history and decide who goes on trial. Eddington would have ended up in chains for betraying Starfleet principles, but Sisko did so too. In many ways, he was Javert as Eddington said he was. I don't think that was accidental on the part of the writers, either. DS9's writing staff were never afraid of portraying their characters as morally grey or making questionable decisions. Go to one of their most celebrated episodes, Duet. It's a really brilliantly done story, but if you unpack the morals, Kira was formally investigating someone she hated, and Sisko knew that and allowed her to anyway. Concepts of impartiality and a fair trial went out the window.
