D'Argo, in a fit of rage, had severly injured his friend. As Crichton is weighing his options, he is asked to think back to Kirk. In the first series and movies, Kirk enacted revenge against those who he believed threatened him or his career: computers, 'vampire cloud', Khan. Crichton rejects this argument for Kirk is a fictional character who never faced consequences. For me, I see the later captains, especially Janeway, escaping responsibility and consequences for his or her actions.<p><b>Question</b><p>Is there a possibility that the writers of the fifth series will include the theme of being responsible and accepting consequences for their characters? If this theme is lacking, will this lacking help or harm the series?<p>-Colin <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Wes1701E</b> <br /><small>Member # 212</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2001,7,11,5,23,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">August 11, 2001</span> <span class="timeformat-0">05:23 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> in TOS, being responsible and accepting consequences was almost a 'lesson of the day' with every episode.

Hoepfully its one of the many things that they're going to fix with Enterprise. And you're right, Janeway (and the rest of the crew) always got away without any consequences to their actions.<p>DS9 on the other hand, was better at this. Odo was a solid for awhile. They gave up the station, they didn't have a station until they retook it. I wish they had some writers coming in from DS9...<p>(bear in mind I'm currently rediscovering DS9 and getting an episode once a week, and the last one I saw was where they give up the station. So - I COULD be wrong - but I doubt it <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> ) <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
