And it’s way funnier this way

  Wouldn’t have it any other way. Seriously. She’d be a bad Captain otherwise. Anyone who strictly follows the rules without considering the situation they’re in is someone who shouldn’t be the Captain of a starship, especially when you’re exploring through space. I mean there is only one ‘main’ Starfleet Captain that we’ve followed across the series who hasn’t violated the Prime Directive and that’s Captain Freeman from Lower Decks. Well and Archer but that’s a free pass considering the Prime Directive/General Order One didn’t even exist at that point.

    But I guess the line is: don’t consume interdenominational space creatures and use their life force to help skip decades off the journey.

      I would argue that’s still a soft boundary - one she had to think about. Janeway’s real line she won’t cross is promoting Ensign Kim. /s

    I’m reminded of the old aphorism that would crop up occasionally in the military, particularly when discussing hypothetical scenarios w/r/t The Law of Land Warfareand rules of engagement: it’s better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6. I’m not endorsing this sentiment; it’s kind of repellent, really. Same energy though, I thought.

  I think Captain Janeway was probably thinking that they had a narrow chance of ever making it back home alive if they didn’t violate the rules a little here and there.

    Also: “I’ll be long dead before Starfleet makes it’s way back here, if ever.”

    Then there’s the consideration that warp-capable societies are criss-crossing the entire quadrant without a care for “cultural contamination” and whatnot. Heck, they already have a Borg problem - there are bigger problems to solve.

  Who was going to check?

  Nobody, that is who.
