- Come on, folks. Are we really supposed to believe that, after having been
- co-opted by the Borg, and having been tortured by the Cardassians (plus there
- have been other mind-attacks whose specifics escape me at the moment),
- Jean-Luc Picard has not only been allowed to keep his command as Captain of
- the Enterprise, but he is still commander of the Federation Fleet's flagship?
-
- I know that a lot of senior officers were killed when the Borg attacked
- Earth, but there is such a thing as trusting somebody too far. In the real
- world, Picard would have been given a nice retirement by now, and shipped off
- somewhere where he couldn't do any harm if his treatments should just,
- somehow, have happened to turn him into a traitor.
-
- Besides, even if he wasn't a traitor, shouldn't he have been given a vacation
- to recover from his torture? No, instead, he just walks back onto the bridge
- and takes over immediate command from Captain Jellico. Come on, he needs
- time to get his health back, not just his mental stability!
