I can see how it can be appealing. Makes for good storytelling at the very least.

That’s what I really like. It’s fiction and people can get their good storytelling. I wish they would stop electing leaders who behave against the future of humanity.

For sure, one thing I love about ST is how diverse the main characters are between shows. I wouldn’t want every captain to just just be a rehash of Sisko, Picard, Kirk or any of the others. Each captain’s uniqueness is that makes them interesting and captivating.
