18. Justice for Necheyev
from Antimatter Pod · host Anika and Liz
We're talking about Starfleet's admiralty! Just how many Starfleet admirals are evil? Liz ran the numbers! Why are so many admirals antagonistic, if not outright villains? And what are the qualities which make a good admiral? Apparently we have more sympathy for Admiral Norah Satie than most people We're still pretty mad that Kat died Anika proposes a game: which Star Trek characters should or definitely should not be admirals? Career paths of the future: in a utopia where people are free to choose their paths achieving/not achieving flag rank shouldn't be the measure of a character's worth Specific characters discussed: Patterson (VOY - "Relativity") Hanson (TNG - "The Best of Both Worlds") Haftel (TNG - "The Offspring) Patar (DSC - "Project Daedalus") Cornwell (DSC) Satie (TNG - "The Drumhead") Necheyev (TNG -- particularly the "Chain of Command" and "Descent" two-parters) Janeway (VOY and Star Trek: Nemesis) Kirk (TOS and Star Trek: The Motion Picture, The Wrath of Khan and The Search for Spock) Content note: We discuss the telepathic sexual assault of Deanna Troi in Star Trek: Nemesis for about sixty seconds, starting at around the 40 minute mark.
