True, but he was a Frenchie liberal.

Mal's an American, through and through.

I do wish our iconic heros were more like Picard, and less like Mal. Might have saved us from the last eight years.

I also wish the networks would fuck off and let Joss Whedon do whatever the fuck he wants. I hear they're already giving him crap about Dollhouse, and they have yet to even air a single episode.

Why must the heroes of today be such villains? Whatever happened to the old kind of heroes, who were actually promoting ideals and not cold-blooded murder?
Neither this nor the Sparta scene referenced sparked the kind of admiration in me that it apparently did in the majority. It just felt disgustingly nonchalant of human life.

Old kind of heros?
Like Hercules? Achillies?
I think society would be contemptibly evil if all we watched was Christmas specials.


Captain Picard is a nearly impeccable hero.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

*dicard was Captain *Picard's unlikeable brother.

What do Captain Picard and toilet paper have in common?

If Captain Picard were a D&D character, his alignment would be Chaotic Good.

I don't know about that. Kirk is chaotic good; Picard I always saw as Lawful, if not neutral.

I'm hard pressed to think of any non-lawful Next-gen characters.

If Captain Picard were a D&D character, his alignment would be Chaotic Good.

Alienation does not elicit the truthtelling. Unfalsifiable stories are easily fabricated. Torture does not work. A slow process of building rapport does work.

thanks, feddie!

On later listen I think Lipton's English accent sounds like Captain Picard. Engage, mr. Laurie, engage.

Good point. I'm sure I'd say anything to keep from being tortured, too. But, that's not the point of interrogation.
The point is to get the truth.


Seems like the point anymore is to get the answers they want...the truth doesnt always work into their plans.
