  Cowboy diplomacy!

  I’ve been watching TOS again recently, and he emphasizes the importance of the prime directive a lot more than I remember.

  However, he’s always like “Let’s just go talk to them - see what they’re like. We won’t tell them anything.”

  “Ok, the only way out is if we tell you everything.”

  “So anyway, I incited a gang war, had my ship conduct an orbital bombardment on a densely urban area, then established myself as the new leader.

  Then I left.”

    I like A Piece of the Action- “We already fucked up this planet by exposing it to our culture once. Let’s fix that by shooting them all. It’s okay, it’s just set on stun.”

  Fuck the prime directive. Most amoral thing I ever heard of. Any officer who actually respects it is suspect.

  Picard (who I love dearly) is written SO BADLY around the prime directive that episodes involving it are difficult to watch.

  Fuck the prime directive.

    I’m curious - what makes you think so?

      Any episode involving the prime directive in TNG, basically. Picard has to be convinced to do the right thing by others in violation of the prime directive.
