    Remember when Jellico commanded the Dauntless to fire a torpedo into the Neutral Zone because he didn’t want to upset the Romulans during sensitive negotiations by simply having the ship go in itself?

    Jellico might not be a badmiral but he’s certainly a bad-at-his-jobmiral, and he was a crap-at-his-jobtain as well.

      Certainly made some questionable choices in the name of potential peace with the Romulans. Wouldn’t say any of it was with malice, but he could have played it smarter.

    Alternate future Admiral Janeway doesn’t qualify.

    Prime timeline Admiral Janeway might qualify if only because we never see her do anything.

      On Prodigy, she sees the young crew for their potential and helps them move forward. Never would I count alt Janeway. Her taking out a large portion of Borg with a virus is pretty badass, though.

      pretty sure admiral Janeway gives Captain Picard orders to Romulus in Insurrection, and that sounds as something dammit.

    Wait Wait Wait, where is sisko/Kira in all this?

    Kira pushed a four shift rotation to Sisko while he was delirious with a massive head injury. Later he suggested the idea as well and Kira was so happy he wasn’t dead/ agreed that she just took joy in agreeing with his “suggestion”

    That was a clear callback to jellico in my opinion.

      Good catch. However, Colonel Kira is only Federation adjacent and Sisko joined the Prophets as a captain. Admirals club only, and since this particular meme takes place late 24th Century, Admiral Picard had already “retired.”

      Don’t forget when she tortured Tom Paris by giving him 30 days of solitary confinement, no reading material or anything to stimulate him, and gave him purposefully bland food the entire time.

      That was already considered a breach of human rights in our unenlightened 20th century, but Janeway saw it as a fitting punishment for… checks notes… saving an entire species of sentient alien life, albeit ones whose ruler decided that they didn’t want to be saved.
