You mean part of a single episode. Saving her was never planned in the first place and was even a surprise to the character in the moment. when she comes back she actively fucks everything up and is constantly at odds with everyone. So no part of it was based around her at all. Unless you're talking about the season 3 two partner in which case it's two episodes but that's still very distinctly not the entire show. It's also AGGRESSIVELY Star Trek to help others you have differences with. Starfleet goes out of its way to do that constantly in TNG even if it might put them at risk too.
Not to mention the fact you say after TNG that the older style was dead as if Voyager doesn't exist. Then you mention Picard bringing back the old style which is an utter lie. Picard was willing to execute a prisoner. The first two seasons are nothing remotely like TNG and the third season is an even further detraction. Doesn't mean it's bad but it is aggressively different.
Gettin real tired of y'all just blatantly lying because you don't like a thing and wanna slander it.
No. They kept her around like she wasn't someone who should be imprisoned for life, far removed from any position where she could manipulate others.
If they wanted to help others, there was a universe full of people more deserving. Two, even.
Yep.
Which is a different complaint. Your initial problem was saying it was "based around her." This isn't. She's a side character. But let us address your complaint then, shall we? She commited no crimes in Federation space. None. Not a single one. She was brought, against her will, from the place she was from into the Prime universe. What you're asking for is to hold her guilty under Federation law when no crimes were ever committed in Federation space or against Federations persons. In fact, she actively helped Starfleet in multiple occasions. When she arrived in the Prime Universe she was imprisoned and while having issues with that, she didn't fight back. She understood the situation that she was in a new world with new rules. The Federation doesn't imprison people for doing things in their own space, nevermind when it's a different universe altogether.
Both are capable as were proven throughout Season 1, 2 and 3.
Then nothing you say can be taken seriously if you are willing to outright ignore, and admit you're ignoring, things that don't fit into your invented narrative.
Have fun with that. I've got far better things to do with my time than engage with arguments made with such bad faith and dripping with such bitterness.
Seriously, because she's from a different universe, her actions of committing genocide and torture across any number of star systems are irrelevant?
If Starfleet doesn't care what people do "in their own space", how could they ever have a problem with anything? Just declare yourself a ruler, obviously democracy doesn't play into it, and you decide what you can do anywhere you are.
