doing a rewatch and it's just the perfect time for it right now. Just watched the one in S4 where that starfleet admiral attempts a coup and Sisko's dad refuses to do the blood test. It was chillingly prescient. Unrelated, why are all SF admirals scumbags?
I think it's a running gag within the series that the minute you hit admiral, you go evil.
From a Doylist perspective there's just very little reason storywise to bring in a higher authority unless that authority is going to be antagonistic in some way
And from a Watsonian perspective, Starfleet is a military organisation that rewards fascistic tendencies, despite its insistence on nobility
Great points! I think my headcanon explanation was the admirals went from charting the boundless stars as captains to being desk-bound bureaucrats and they're just petty af now
No I totally have a headcanon that the initiation to becoming a Starfleet admiral involves becoming aware of what a bizarre, fucked-up Lovecraftian world the Star Trek universe is and how the Federation's survival constantly hangs by a thread
All the admirals are paranoid wackjobs sitting on top of these huge dark secrets Humanity Was Not Meant to Know Time travel and parallel universes and godlike entities and whatnot
Are you including Admiral Kathryn Janeway with this?
Janeway is like the ultimate example
what about Admiral Kirk (later demoted to captain)
