    I love carter, but definitely not a good fit for starfleet. Too "us military" for peaceful exploration. Also too moral for Sec. 31.

    Definitely daystrom institute, specializing in first hand field research.

    In her defense, an air force captain is not the same rank as a captain in the Navy, which the starfleet ranks are based on. She'd be like a lieutenant commander in starfleet. So I think she'd fit right in.

    Pff. If Carter had been in Voyager the Delta quadrant would have been a single episode.

    Carter would have set up timers on all their torpedoes, found a way to get them home with the caretaker's station, and had the torpedoes beamed all over the station set to explode minutes after the ship got launched back.

    Figures the ONE TIME Janeway respects the prime directive....

    90's were a hell of a time for military farce. Down Periscope, Sgt. Bilko, Hot Shots(1/2), and McHale's Navy.

    I absolutely love how he seems like he's about to break.

    It's like he knew the game would be a pile of shit and decided to lean into it.

    But then again, I've never seen him in anything he didn't go all out for.

    Plus let's be honest, Einstein in RA2 was almost as ridiculous.

    Kari Wurher hammed it up as Tanya quite well.

    Surprised no one has posted this guy yet. Too on the nose?

    Too pissed it's been mishandled the way it has, just when it really had gotten its feet under it.

    NO. That is a RIGHT ANSWER, sir. He was a great Captain, playing the terrible hand he was dealt and doing a remarkable job. A half-finished ship plagued by a mismanaged shipyard's scheduling errors and delays? A skeleton crew? A scheduled shakedown cruise that somehow couldn't be rescheduled? The most famous captain in Starfleet's history aboard? The stunt assignment of a nepo baby helm officer to coincide with that VIP? The fleet monumentally mis-deployed, leaving no backup within range of the capital world of the Federation? A once-in-a-lifetime anomaly threatens some refugees right at that exact moment? And all of this happens while he's got dozens of civilian journalists aboard, documenting the whole thing?

    You couldn't stack the deck against a Captain that hard if you tried, unless you made part of the missing crew the entire medical staff-- NO WAIT THEY WERE, AND A RETIRED GUNNER HAD TO BE THE MEDIC. Okay then, how about unless you...I dunno, brought the Borg into the equation and OH WAIT, THAT'S EXACTLY WHY THE EL-AURIANS WERE REFUGEES IN THE FIRST PLACE

    It was a miracle that he got anyone off those transport ships, and that the 1701-B made it out losing only one crew member. It was yet another stroke of bad luck that the casualty in question happened to be Kirk.

    Harriman was a great Captain and a hero to the fleet. He got lucky in only two ways during that mission: that the VIPs aboard for the trip happened to be highly capable, well-trained leaders willing to roll up their sleeves when they needed to, and that the nepo baby helm officer just happened to also be an excellent pilot.

    Definitely Bruce Boxleitner, the character not the actor
