    And it wasn’t like with Picard where he made a decision and apparently felt good enough about that it was business as normal once made.

    Like In The Pale Moonlught when he brought the romulans into the fight.

    There were no good answers. No ethical ones. He’ll have to live with it, and he can.

      Good point! Maybe I should give tng another binge, cause I’m only remembering him as this stalwart of Starfleet doing everything by the viewscreen.

        In the pale moonlight is DS9, they needed the romulans to join against the dominion/cardassians so he did some unethical things that garak came up with to get them on side.

        Picard is a paragon of federation virtue, and he was never in a situation where all the options were just as bad. There always a clear way forward.

        (Though I do have to wonder what was said about data blasting the aqueduct.)
