Equinox Part 1.
"How often have you broken the Prime Directive?"
"Broken it? Never." FUCK YOU JANEWAY YOU LYING BITCH!
The implication here is that she thinks she's only maybe bent it a few times. You and I know this is a lie. Let me list a few ways that Janeway has broken the Prime Directive just up to THAT point.
- Caretaker: She denied the Kazon, a species with a lower level of technology than the Federation, access to the Caretaker Array, something they would have otherwise done had she not gotten involved. She argues this was to save the Ocampa, but that was a lie.
- Jetrel: She aided and abetted a known war criminal of a race with lower tech than her own. That he was ultimately trying to do a good thing (undo the damage he had caused) is irrelevant; it's still a violation.
- Prototype: She allowed B'Elana to reactivate the robot and gave it the means to reproduce, which would have tipped the tide of a war had they not destroyed it and the reproduction modules. Janeway ADMITS this is a violation in the very episode it happens.
- Basics: She surrendered Voyager and all it's technology to the Kazon, who would have used it to try and conquer the Delta Quadrant had they not regained control. By refusing to destroy Voyager, she not only violated the Prime Directive and aided an enemy force, she showed her general unfitness for command. She literally should have had the ship self-destruct and killed everyone onboard than let that species have the ship.
- Swarm: She invaded alien space, killed thousands (if not more) and ignored the culture of the species she almost annihilated.
- Scorpion: She traded technology with the Borg, a species known to be hostile to the Federation. THIS she have gotten her thrown in prison.
- Demon: Holy shit, she literally caused the creation and evolution of an entire species. This was accidental, sure, but the damage is SO much worse than you think and I don't think you've gotten that far yet.
- The Killing Game: She gave the Hirogen holodeck/hologram technology. I don't think you're far enough in to know WHY this was so fucking stupid.
That's just so far. SO FAR. Season 6 has a few doozies itself.
