[QUOTE]Originally posted by Siegfried: [QB] I guess we should also point out that all (I think) of the corrupt flag officers we've seen in Starfleet have been humans. Not very reassuring for our species, huh? However, I can think of two admirals that seemed to be highly respected and above corruption: Bill, the C-in-C from [i]The Undiscovered Country[/i], and Nogura, from [i]The Motion Picture[/i]. Of course, I gleen most of this from the novelizations of those movies. In real life, there's a perfectly acceptable explanation for the high occurence of corrupt admirals: it doesn't move a story as much to have an admiral appear in a manner that doesn't quite advance the plot. Corruption and mystery stories are usually good, and we have those playing out in "Conspiracy," "Ensign Ro," [i]The Undiscovered Country[/i], and others. The other times we've seen an admiral is to inform us the viewers of plot points as in "Chains of Command" or some of the Dominion War briefings in Deep Space Nine. [/QB][/QUOTE]
