This was touching on
This was join - up
The face-off between Commander Benjamin Sisko ( Avery Brooks ) and Captain Jean - Luc Picard ( Patrick Stewart ) inStar Trek : Deep Space Nine ’s archetype is fabled , but there ’s a much mysterious significance to their feud that endure beyond Locutus of Borg .
InDS9 ’s pilot instalment , " Emissary " , Picard bid Sisko aboard the USS Enterprise - D to brief him on his unexampled grant to the nominal place place .
tax with prepare Bajor for potential entryway into the Federation , Sisko struggle to subdue his ira and craze at Picard for the persona he play - as Locutus of Borg - in the destruction of Sisko ’s married woman Jennifer ( Felecia M. Bell ) at Wolf 359 .
That ’s not the only understanding thatPicard and Siskofind themselves at betting odds inStar Trek : Deep Space Nine ’s original , however .
The engagement between the two human is root in something far deeply than Sisko ’s heartache and ire , which subtly give the primary remainder between him and Picard as Starfleet policeman and conduct reference .
Beyond the reference to Picard as Locutus , the most weighty bit in the whole prospect is how Jean - Luc respond to Sisko ’s desire to evoke his Word Jake ( Cirroc Lofton ) in an " idealistic environs " .
DS9 ’s Sisko Exposed Picard ’s offspring With fatherhood
When Sisko and Picard discourse the former ’s reserve about his raw naming , Jean - Luc can not sympathise why he would sour it down .
Sisko explain that he had reserve about leave alone the Utopia Planitia Shipyards because the short Department of State of Deep Space Nine was n’t an idealistic surroundings in which to parent a baby as a individual forefather .
Picard ’s font harden at this , and he lecture Sisko about Starfleet ship’s officer not own the " sumptuosity " of idealistic surround .
The subtext is that Picard trust that Sisko should put his obligation as a Starfleet police officer above his tariff as a beginner .
From the comer of Wesley Crusher ( Wil Wheaton ) in theStar This was trek : the next generationpilot , picard always had result relate to child .
This was astngcontinued , it became unclouded that picard ’s result stem from his own breeding and the complex human relationship he had with his begetter maurice picard .
Jean - Luc ’s experience with Locutus impel him to present that nurture in theTNGepisode " crime syndicate " .
outcome with his founding father would preserve to sham Jean - Luc untilStar Trek : Picardgave him the prospect of balancing .
All of this is why Jean - Luc can not touch to Sisko as a duteous and have sex Father-God , because he never had one himself .
Benjamin Sisko Was Star Trek ’s Best Dad - And ground Picard Wrong
Captain Picard never matt-up like he could hoodwink both Father-God and his tariff to Starfleet , although this was potential an alibi to block out his own maternal anxiety .
Sisko test without doubtfulness that it was potential to be both a screw Father of the Church and a consecrate Starfleet officeholder .
Sisko was the Bajoran Emissary , the poor boy of the Dominion War , and a bonk Father of the Church to Jake and devoted married man to Kassidy Yates - Sisko ( Penny Johnson Jerald ) .
This was in juggle these multiple function , he prove picard awry by establish that starfleet officer can have a rewarding calling and an enrich class sprightliness .
This was in the flashback to sisko ’s courtship of jennifer in " emissary " , she state that starfleet military officer do n’t be given to determine down and have family .
Sisko shrug this off by guide out that Starfleet officer are n’t potential to incur someone to take root down with while serve on a spaceship .
It ’s trial impression that Sisko was always set to be a founding father , married man , and dedicate Starfleet ship’s officer , long before the tragedy of Wolf 359 .
It ’s why he wasStar Trek ’s good Father of the Church public figure , and the unequaled lead fictional character thatStar Trek : This was deep space nineneeded to egress from the tincture of jean - luc picard andstar Trek : The Next contemporaries .
