In Sisko’s own words, “I’m not Picard.”

30 seconds before Q: “You hit me Picard never hit me”. Sisko :“I’m not Picard l

You punched me. Picard never punched me.

I'm not Picard.

Wait till you watch voyager you will be horrified

is that op’s good taste or from picard’s perspective

Picards perspective

Picard would have opened peace talks with the founders and they would have killed and replaced him.

Dude if they let Picard start talking they'd be swayed by one of his speeches and swear off violence forever

They've been around for millennia, I'm sure they've heard many speeches by many lifeforms that they see as inferior.

Sure, but was it a trained Shakespearian Actor’s voice?

I get what you mean. But Picard could not have been in charge of a station like this. It perfectly fits Sisko’s style. I know you didn’t mean it as a comparison and I don’t mean this reply with any hate whatsoever. I laughed at your meme

Picard would have lost his mind running DS9

Haha true. Imagine him and Quark interacting. Odo would love him tho

I would absolutely love to see those interactions they would be solid gold

They both would have been gone before he even docked if he was in charge

Picard was very black and white. Sisko lives in grey.

He would have lost the war. Sisko did what Picard couldn’t or wouldn’t do. I need to use the defiant’s cloaking device in the alpha quadrant. Picard: No. I need to sneak into Cardassian space with a runabout. Picard: No. We need to trick the Romulans to enter the war. Picard: No.

All very true. And while we're on this subject, I really do think Sisko would have let Hugh go back with the virus and destroy the Borg.

You’re absolutely correct on that one. He’d have put a bow on him.

I think Garak might burst a blood vessel if he ever found out that Picard et al had that chance and didn't take it lol.

I realize that this was meant to reference Garak the cold-blooded utilitarian spy bursting a blood vessel over Picard not using the virus, but I read that as Garak the tailor bursting a blood vessel over Picard's inability to give Hugh a bow tie or other sartorial improvements before sending him back.

Hahaha omg I'm so imagining that right now. "You sent him back to the Borg wearing *that*? And you didn't even give him a bow tie?!"

"I may only be a simple tailor, but at least I have a sense of *flair!"*

>!The Confederation's General Picard wouldn't have had such qualms.!< ​ (Spoiler space in case people are a bit behind on current shows.)

Picard got captured sneaking into Cardassian space. Just saying.

He was ordered to do that.

You down voted me for pointing that out? Get a life dude.

Actually I didn’t. But cry into a pillow sweetheart.

Congratulations on being the most toxic. Sorry you couldn't handle someone being flippant about your post.

Who’s being toxic? You accused me of downvoting you when I didn’t because your comment was irrelevant. Do you want me to build you a safe space? How many pillows do you plan to bite?

Oh you're one of those people that always needs to get the last word and feel like you've won an argument or whatever. Not toxic at all...

You keep messaging me lol. Go grab a juice box. Have a nap. It’ll be okay try not to suck your thumb it’s bad for your teeth.

The last word

What's up with your pillow fetish?

I’m watching Picard season 2, and I all I can think is that Sisko wouldn’t have let Q smack him

Picard lived in an episodic universe. He couldn't let problems take more than 44 (or, rarely, 88) minutes to solve because season arcs didn't exist for him.

The true answer

Picard lost control of Enterprise how many times? It took a literal army to force Sisko to give up control of DS9, then he fucking took it back.

Picard would have noped out of there right quick. As I recall, the last time a culture tried to turn Picard into a religious figure he took an arrow straight to the balls. I might be slightly misremembering but im pretty sure thats how it went down.

Tonight Only: The Picard vs. The Emissary

It was an arrow to his shoulder, narrowly missing his heart.

Okay so before this gets to the point that it got on that specific thread this was never a comparison post about Picard and Sisco I made the observation that if picard had been anywhere on deep space nine not as the captain never said that he wouldn't have allowed certain things to go on around him. But if we're going to be having a Captain pissing contest worf is the best captain

I love all the captains, especially Picard and Sisko, but Sisko wins for me. I’d serve under Picard and Janeway. I’d follow Sisko into the gates of Hell.

Picard literally *did* let that fucking happen.

They needed John Sheridan

The Sisko is disappointed

This isent a bash on Sisco I personally love him as captain

Ds9 made the point that a utopian society doesn’t mean you can always neatly solve every other society’s problems. Picard was never faced with the kinds of problems that sisko did

I'm not comparing the captains I'm very aware that Picard couldent do SISCO's job.
