Why was he mad at Picard?

Why not being mad at yourself for literally bringing your family to battle?

Why were there so many families and children on the Enterprise?

Enterprise-D wasn't a warship. It was essentially a cruise ship with phaser banks "just in case".

Because picard became a borg, and that gave the borg everything they needed to kill Sisko's wife, and fuck some shit up at Wolf 359

Because he's an angry black man in space. Dem white bois always be keepin us down.

>Why were there so many families and children on the Enterprise?

In part because of Federation ideals, in part because it was a long-duration ship where crew might be away from wherever "home" was for years at a time.

The armada assembled to fight the Borg at Wolf 359 was put together rapidly, the ships had no time to offload their civilian complements. Also, because Picard was privy to Federation plans, as Locutus he was able to ensure that the battle was far more devastating than it might otherwise have been.

>Also, because Picard was privy to Federation plans, as Locutus he was able to ensure that the battle was far more devastating than it might otherwise have been.
Sisko acted like that was Picard's fault though, that's just stupid because that's the whole Borg MO. All that tactical knowledge was scooped directly from his brain completely against his will, it's not like he handed it over willingly.

>Why were there so many families and children on the Enterprise?

It had families on it because it was both a ship for exploration and had no "home base". Since it had humans on it with a human need to have a family it's either bring the families with, or staff the place with turbo-robots. The r9k kind, not the Data kind.

If they had done so, every other species in the galaxy would have been allied with the goal of killing us out within three or four first contacts.

Yeah, well, watching your wife die tends to mess with your head a bit.

>Sisko acted like that was Picard's fault though

Rage and grief aren't logical, T'poster.

Because to a nigger, everything is YT's fault.

they shake hands at the end of that episode tho

So basically our introduction to Sisko is him pms'ing?

>Picard never made Admiral...
a good Star Fleet Captain would have found a way to kill himself prior to being assimilated.

Our introduction to DS9 is that characters are allowed to have strong emotions.

This is designed to create a clear contrast between DS9 and TNG, where half of the cast is made up of cardboard cutouts.

did they even know the borg do that ahead of time?

>our introduction to Sisko

I see our introduction to Sisko as him as a man having a breakthrough, a transformative experience where he gives over the grief that was destroying him and the anger that was misdirected. It was a show about a world undergoing a fresh start lead by a man having his own fresh start.

we discussed that at length this morning

i believe the consensus is that it allowed the Federation to foist its will on aliens while maintaining the pretense of being peaceful explorers.

see previous thread

Picard has white privilege and Sisko believes in the WE WUZ KANGZ shit

Picard had his free will removed completly,
Sisko knows what happened to Picard very well
if not from his grudge, from his 3 years he just did in anti-borg R&D

Sisko however chose to obey to go into battle with this wife and child in tow.

something about demonetizing aliens

Sisko was still high on "prophets"

I hated sisko so much in the first couple episodes, but now he's probably my favorite captain

they couldn't drop the civilians on a planet, or
leave them in escape pods BEFORE the fight, or at least move them from their quarters with exterior windows to more secure parts of the ship, or anything??
