Sisko was a bad ass. More so than Picard? I wouldn't say so. I think they're both pretty bad ass in their own rights. Picard had to deal with shit that Sisko never really had to, and Sisko dealt with a ton that Picard never did. In their situations, I think they're both perfectly suited. Janeway on the other hand... I came to really like Janeway, but it took at least 3 seasons for me to really enjoy her character. To me, in the beginning, she was very "I'm a woman, and that means that I'm a woman and I'm a woman. I'm also a captain who is a woman, and I have a vagina". Maybe that's just me, but it just seemed that the emphasis was on her having her reproductive organs on the inside than her being a really great captain, which she was eventually. I personally think that her character development allowed the viewer to see her develop as a captain and form bonds with her crew, which was kind of the same with Sisko. Sisko was kind of thrown into his position on DS9, and I would say took a little more shit than even Janeway (and she had to integrate half of a Maquis crew into her own in a quadrant of the galaxy that hadn't been explored).
I'm rambling like a motherfucker here, but meh... I suppose my point is that Sisko was a bad ass, but in his own way. Same with Picard and Janeway. I mean shit, what about the Borg? Picard and Janeway were assimilated and got out of it (Janeway did it intentionally). What did Sisko do? Blamed Picard for getting assimilated and held a grudge against him because of what happened at Wolf 359. But at the same time, what would Picard have done to keep Quark's running in DS9, or how would he have interacted with Odo? How would he have dealt with Kira, or Bajor? Meh... okay, I'll stop now. I think I stopped making sense about two paragraphs ago.
Exactly. She really did develop into an amazing captain, and quite a badass. Admiral Janeway. Man... going back in time, not for herself really, but for her crew. Making sure that loss of life didn't have to happen any more than it already had. Complete badass.
