Ben Sisko is a man of many hats but decreasing haircuts. Emissary, diplomat, captain, father and builder. Yep, did you know he originally wore the gold uniform of Starfleet operations? I didn't. He seems to have been born to be a leader so I always just assumed he was command from the get go.
Not only a hero against the Dominion, his passion lies in a competitive nature, moral conviction and a desire to look out for those around him. Also he's kind of a demigod according to Bajoran scripture so... aces.
Personnel File is a new series that collects the facts and information about a character from the Star Trek lore to paint an image of who they are and their personality. Sometimes there's pages to go on, others there might only be one defining episode.

@nathanfrisson 5 лет назад

While this is a very detailed and factual video, it misses the mark about his base personality as evidenced in other RU-vid videos that compare the captains. It does not mention that Sisko is a family man who is comfortable around children of all ages. Nor does it mention that Sisko is a very personable captain who cooks for his crew, played baseball with them and even joined them to save Vic Fontaine’s holosuite nightclub. And leaving out the part where he joined Vic onstage as they both sang, “The Best is Yet to Come.” Is downright villainy. None of these were mentioned in the video and I believe they were the most valuable traits he possessed... attributes that brazenly separated him from the other captains. All you did was focus on the grim side of him. The latter part of this video is a disservice.

@G11713 4 года назад

It also mistakenly referred to him as wrestling when it was actually boxing, I believe.

@BlazingOwnager 4 года назад

Everyone on the enterprise was a bit of a weirdo, esp when it came to family and love lives. DS9's crew was infinitely more human across the board. Sisko fit right in with that; he was the only Captain that was balanced enough to have a wife and kid, eventually remarry, etc. without this "But the uniform!!!" bizarre debate. There's no reason you can't have both and Sisko was just as committed as the others.

The Federation used most ships for multi-purpose missions, the Defiant class only had one mission. When you strip out everything that supports a multi mission large crews. You can pack a lot of single mission specific gear in a tighter space. This also makes them faster to produce and replace, which in war, would be a necessity.

@@someguy3711 what's funny is the fact that these Cruise liners and exploration ships like the intrepid class with its infinite torpedo's and the galaxy class with its luxurious bedrooms, is that they can go toe to toe with multiple purpose built warships from the romulans, cardassians, and Klingons and win after starting the fight at 43% shields The technology gap between the federation and these empires is insane and then the fact the federation is also twice the size of each of them. The federation could literally stomp all these empires in a year with multi vector assault defiants, which I have no doubt they could mass produce. The federation is literally just an oligarchy where the ruling elite are lazy and fat on their own morality.

Sisko is my favourite Captain in the ST universe. A dedicated career man who finds balance enough to be a successful father figure to Jake. Which is big bonus points for me because no other Captain has been a parent, and as a father myself, I find great respect in how his character is written(and of course, acted out by Avery Brooks.) I think he really embodies the Federation and it's values to a greater or lesser degree, and makes him worthy of admiration and respect. My two favourite episodes of DS9 are The Visitor and Far Across the Stars, which really showcase Avery Brooks' acting chops. Great video, Ric!

@MidnightAspec 4 года назад

Of all the Trek captains, Sisko was is the one most portrayed as flawed yet, that winds up being his strength to some degree.

@MetaSynForYourSoul 5 лет назад

The one thing I say always about Sisko and that is that he is the one most like an actual military officer. I grew up with military officers all around me, my mom was in the air force as well as my granddad, both of them retired from there and growing up watching star trek I realized that Picard is a great diplomat but not the absolute best representation of what I know military officers to be like, but Sisko checks all the boxes and then some.

@WhydoIsuddenlyhaveahandle Месяц назад

Well said. I, too, grew up in a military family. Picard (although I love him for different reasons) always came off was a bit naive at first, openly saying Starfleet was not a military organization in Season 2. Obviously ridiculous. He ended up showing immense courage, though. Diplomat is a great name for him. I also like philosopher. Sisko, in one word: Soldier

@MetaSynForYourSoul 19 дней назад

@WhydoIsuddenlyhaveahandle I swear, "Starfleet is *_NOT_* a military organization." is drilled in me head like so much propaganda. It's ridiculous. You are literally organized like a military, a navy specifically. Chain of command, Ranks, not to mention weapons of mass destruction at the disposal of every captain in the fleet. They don't even gotta check with someone before destroying a planets ecosystem. It's a military and a super dangerous one at that. That being said, I'm glad humanity, at least for the most part, seems capable of handling it. Picard being the utmost example of such a person. But I think the Dominion war reminded us that we still have "That" instinct. And Sisko is the pinnacle of, "When the job needs getting done, send this guy." I truly think of him like that. Simply because idk if any of the other captains, except maybe Kirk, can reach down into the level of ruthlessness required to win an all out war. But that's why I love him.

@Locktwiste72 3 года назад

Benjamin Sisko was the most human of all the Star Trek captains we saw on-screen.

@manolitohosea8144 5 лет назад

Ben Sisko was a consummate jack of trades: master of diplomacy, able to unite warring factions, dispense justice, and overcome obstacles with non-conventional tactics. He knew when to be direct,(the Sisko bark) and when to use humor to diffuse tense circumstances, (the only Captain to be seen laughing, other than Kirk and Janeway), and when to GO THERE(punching Q and getting the Romulans into the war against the Dominion). He was a well-rounded and multi-dimensional character thanks to some great writing and a well defined character arc.

@TheXman779 3 года назад

"In The Pale Moonlight" is my favorite DS9 episode. Especially the ending when he was looking for the excuse to except for what he had done for the greater good while recording his captain's log. Then deleted it because of the guilt he was feeling. He barely showed any emotion in that scene, and he didn't have to. You could feel the weight on that decision, and it made you ask yourself, would've you done the same thing?

@daugbret 4 года назад

@RimaNari 6 лет назад

Oh wow. That is hands down a fantastic video! Reciting the Memory Alpha content is one thing, drawing an exhaustive yet still concise character profile another altogether... I watched DS9 several times and Sisko is certainly one of my favorite characters from all of Trek (nope, not all series leads are), yet you made me realize things about his character that I never thought of before. Especially, I often viewed his witch hunt of Eddington as kinda a one-off episode, one that doesn't fit into his character. "He would never really have gone THAT far, would he?" I was thinking. Your synopsis puts that in a good context with the rest of his character. His actions were certainly extreme, but I kinda think I understand him better now... and understand that and why he went that far. Certainly gained a sub and I'm looking forward to more of those videos! You seem to be quite good in judging a character.

@aperson22222 6 лет назад

@WhydoIsuddenlyhaveahandle Месяц назад

Glad you mentioned Archer. One thing I like about him is he is a great middle ground between us now and Kirk's time. He has some of our rash traits, but also comes off as wanting something more evolved. He comes off as almost cute, trying to be an explorer. But, when it came down to it, he was willing to grow a sentient life form to murder it for body parts, become a pirate to steal a war coil, and murder Xindi at an unarmed station to save Earth, similar to us. That was such a tough character balance to act out. Even though Enterprise got canceled, I thought Archer was an excellent addition to the story.

@blazechicken6822 4 года назад

In the Pale Moonlight was one of my favorites because it showed that Sisko was a man that could be corrupted so to speak. I think Sisko was a great counterpart to Picard. Picard, for the most part, was a kind of "By the letter of" and Sisko was more "In the spirit of" kind of leader. By the end of the episode Sisko is shown to be capable of committing evil in the name of the greater good once he's fallen low enough like seeing names of people he knows killed in the war week after week. I think one of the many reasons Sisko became my favorite captain is because they show that despite him being an exceptional leader he is also a flawed human being and capable of being driven by negative emotions.

@BlazingOwnager 4 года назад

I think when DS9 began Ben Sisko was the son raised by Joseph and Sarah Sisko but when Past Tense happened, he changed something inherent to Josephs character so the prophets restored the timeline as best they could because Joseph and Sarah were psychologically incompatible in the new timeline where Sarah died and Joseph survived to the present day. 'Ascension' was a hint from them.

You should do a show on what happens to Sisko after he returns from the celestial temple I’m pretty sure it’s covered in some Star Trek books and or on memory Alpha

Dax was a Lieutenant Commander when she was murdered. Sorry for the nitpick. Thanks for the video.

Captain Sisko had all the qualities of a great commander and yet was the most complex of the captains of Star Trek. Avery Brookes brought this character to life in a way few others could.

In the Pale Moonlight is my favourite episode of Star Trek.

@whiteninja02 4 года назад

Love this video, but the one thing you have forgotten about is the books that come after the tv show. If I’m correct in one of the books Sisko does indeed come back months or a year later. The name of the book escapes me at the moment though.

'In The Pale Moonlight' is one of the best Star Trek episodes, hands down.

@Rondu01 5 лет назад

Sisko left reality as we know it to perform tasks with the prophets because he is one. When he told Cassidy that he was coming back and she said, when? He replied yesterday, today, or tomorrow. In my opinion, I think this is why all the other Star Treks after Voyager are on different timelines. Sisko is coming back!

@amandamills4133 3 года назад

two of my favorite episodes where he is concerned are DAX and Explorers. explores was a cool one for seeing him in a less formal role pursuing an interest and proving a questioned element of Bajoran history. DAX is a really good example of him pursuing the truth adamantly and the extraordinary lengths that he will go to to protect not only the innocent but a close friend, but also shows how much he agonizes over considering the possibility that his close friend may actually be guilty.

During the Dominion War I would like to have seen a moment where the Enterprise comes to help and fight and Sisko and Picard have a conversation where Sisko forgives Picard for the Borg attack

@christopherwall2121 2 года назад

I've seen an argument that a lot of Lily's role in _First Contact_ could have been filled by Sisko with minimal changes needed, but it was never gonna happen; Rick Berman despised DS9

@trekaddict 4 года назад

Holy hannah, do I HATE the ending of DS9. To me, it did such a great disservice to Ben Sisko, because I don't believe for a second that this was what he really wanted.

@SHBazTBone 4 года назад

It absolutely wasn't what he wanted. But it's what the Prophets and the story demanded. He wanted to retire to Bajor. The Prophets stated he will find no rest there. He wanted to be there for his child`s birth and wife's side. The Prophets said no, I think because he defied then by marrying her. The ending with Dukat was rushed for sure but absolutely perfect for this man who fought against the faith and destiny for the entirety of the show to be ultimately bound to it.

My favorite captain. More rugged than Picard, more flawed also. But also somehow more human and, Avery Brooks is at his best here, acting the SHIZZ out of the role.

@amandamills4133 2 года назад

that was an excellent personnel file except for one very important detail. You should've covered a little bit on the episode that is the entire reason why he starts to be OK with the emissary title because that is an important turning point in his life and in his relationship with people

@johnathan2684 3 года назад

Great presentation. I think Sisko is the most 'human' starfleet captain. Kirk is 'perfect', Picard never had any women (?) or family... Sisko was written to show a more well rounded man in that captain's chair. Love the episodes with his Pops, son and Kasidy Yates. The Dominion War was an awesome series... wish the Defiant was bigger...
