There's been a fandom question fans keep going back to -- what would each Star Trek Captain do if they were put in each other's situations.
The general consensus I'm seeing is that Sisko and Janeway more or less will do similar things to each other but with varying degrees of intensity.
And Picard would not have fared well in the DS9 situation. There are varying answers to how he would do in the Voyager situation.
People are kidding themself if they say Picard would not destroy the Caretaker array, especially since it would end with the Ocampan people enslaved.
Also, Sisko wouldn't have allowed the Ocampans to be enslaved either. Reddit folks who keep pointing out In the Pale Moonlight as Sisko being pragmatic and ruthless... I feel miss the point of the whole episode and monologue.
Sisko had to be pushed to the point to do that, this was Sisko in the later parts of the Dominion War, when they had heavy casualties. Also, it makes me think people haven't seen InPM in a while because when I rewatched the episode I was so surprised how much Garak had to PUSH Sisko into the entire thing.
He was kicking and screaming and fighting against it but had to accept what Garak did because this was the only way to get the Romulans to back their alliance.
Like fandom tells it, Sisko was the one wheeling and dealing with the whole scenario conveniently forgetting to bring up the whole Garak of it all.
And Sisko's repeated: "I can live with it, I can live with it." Sisko is trying to convince himself that he can but he was struggling with it.
There is no way, season 1 or pilot!era Sisko would have shot at the Caretaker's Array to leave the Ocampans helpless. He would make more of an effort, obsessively, maybe to get home for Jake but he's not abandoning his Starfleet ideals either.
I feel like people ascribe pragmatic ruthlessness to Sisko too much when every instance we see of that is when he's pushed into it.
I am curious though how Janeway would have handled being station commander of DS9 together with the whole Bajoran thing, especially with her own contentious history with the Cardassians.
And how would Janeway handle the Dominion? Like I do feel Janeway and Sisko are similar but how they do things and the varying degrees of it would have been interesting.
Like, how would Janeway handle Kira as a second in command? And she would have had no history with a Dax.
On the other end, I don't think Sisko would have any kind of tolerance for Seven of Nine. He might feel obligated to cut her from the Collective when she's left alone but his hatred of the Borg is even more piercing than Shaw's in Picard s3. And Seven would have been peak Borg arrogance in season 4.
So... maybe Sisko and Janeway are where they were meant to be-- Janeway has no history with the Borg, which allowed her a certain open-mindedness that Sisko won't tolerate because of his own personal losses. And Sisko didn't have experience with the Cardassians before DS9, so he could also maintain a polite but barely contained disdain for the Guls he encounters on DS9.

Does this Star Trek character know where the clit is?
Let’s start with the captains:
Kirk- probably? But he doesn’t always use it proper. Still better than most.
Picard- this man’s posture becomes a plank as soon as the word is mentioned. Yes he knows, yes it because he slept around as a student, no he will not talk about it.
Sisko- 100% knows and knows how to use it too. I think he loves giving head.
Katheryn- of course.
Archer- doubtful. He claims to know but he goes into every sexual encounter as well prepared as he goes into his role as captain or any battle situation or ANY contact with aliens or- I’ll stop.
Saru- no. Man’s didn’t even know his body was capable of surviving a major fever.
Michael- Of. Course.
Freeman- yes, but.
Pike- for certain. I think he also liked giving head or anything as long as his partner is into it. I just KNOW he’s also a little freaky, but refuses to show it to anyone, ever.
