I'm rewatching that Next Gen episode where they're studying the Crystalline Entity and it's blowing my mind how stupid Picard's argument is in terms of not flat out annihilating the Entity when he has the chance. The thing eats entire planets worth of thinking, feeling people!!!!
Picard: "Sperm whales eat trillions of cuttlefish, how can we be mad at Entity for doing something similar?" (paraphrased)
How is Picard allowed to be captain after such a mind-numbingly dumb decision?
