True. And in Next Gen and a bit in DS9 it was admirals and other high ranking Starfleet officials who were always evil or wrong or misguided. But then again, this is a trend in most shows. Everyone that isn't the heroes is portrayed that way to make the heroes look better.

The last bit here is what I was going to say so +1 to that.

But I actually prefer Evil Admirals over Evil Civilians, personally. Especially in the context of DS9 it makes a great deal more sense to me.

Also they had that one Commodore, I think, who was like "Let's just cut across the Neutral Zone, the Romulans will totally understand! ^_^"

And I was just like, "How has this man not accidentally blown himself up already?"

That guy is one of the few whose motivations make sense. He has a medical emergency to deal with and he works every day with reasonable people who, in a medical emergency, would be fine with an emergency service taking a shortcut across their yard in a society that would put running to respond to a medical emergency as the number one reason that it is fine to drop what you are doing and waive the rules. He runs smack into a cultural blindspot there because it is so ingrained in Federation culture that everyone acts with good faith that it is a real Outside Context Problem that the Romulans wouldn't act as reasonably.

Trouble is the Romulans have the same Outside Context Problem dealing with the concept that someone wouldn't act in bad faith and that an incursion could be for any other reason than a military pretext. Two cultural blindspots coming into collision.
