Yes, but they honestly believe that’s the right thing to do. Or at least they’ve convinced themselves that it’s excusable. They believe they have a right to do things for themselves at the expense of others. That’s why they won’t ever have remorse. It takes more intelligence to empathize with others; they don’t have that. It’s actually kinda sad.
People who wig out and do what they know is evil are very distraught, and often suicidal.

I’ve only seen the first few, but it seems like a space based soap opera ffs. What were they thinking - ‘let’s bring in a Q for a random stupid episode, and then a malfunctioning holo deck - because those are always the worst plots from tng’ ?

You have ten seconds to pet this cat, or it will attack.
