Stupid question: What admirals are we talking about here?

Here are the admirals I remember from 90s trek

  • Janeway, who got the job because she was hyper competent at killing Borg.
  • Picard, who we can assume is generally good at his job
  • That dude who was a dick to Riker, who ended up being really good at his job
  • Ross, who was generally good at his job, even if Section 31 kinda did whatever they wanted
  • That admiral who showed up and told Picard he was an idiot for not using Hugh to kill the Borg
  • Those admirals that were all secretly alien worms or something
  • Tom Paris's dad, who was just kinda there
  • The lady running the inquisition, who clearly got the role in no small part due to her father
  • That other admiral who ended the inquisition trials after he saw what I shitshow the entire thing was.

In general they seemed pretty good at their job.

Janeway, who got the job because she ~~was hyper competent at killing~~ commited genocide against the Borg.

That's like saying that eradicating a virus is genocide

Does a virus try to make the person it infects more perfect?

Yes, but for itself, not the person.

But by becoming part of that greater whole the person is brought closer to perfection. Plus, they're made immortal.
