* InsaneAdmiral: Jameson is the first (but certainly not last) to appear on TNG. While one could perhaps chalk down his decision to give weapons to both Karnas and his rivals as a poor decision made in a difficult situation, his belief that he needs to turn himself back into a young man for this mission to succeed (and doing so by OD'ing on a dangerous drug) is definitely some Grade-A insanity.

* EasilyForgiven: Zig-zagged; when Jameson admits how he actually rescued the hostages, Picard is momentarily shocked, but quickly lays the fault for the civil war firmly at Karnas' feet. Karnas himself has absolutely no intention of forgiving Jameson, however, and only holds off on blowing a hole in his torso as an act of CruelMercy so that he can suffer an even more agonizing death from his overdose of the de-ageing drug. Jameson's death in turns renders it academic as to how Starfleet would have dealt with his actions.

* WhatTheHellHero: 45 years earlier, Jameson gave in to Karnas and supplied him with weapons in exchange for the passengers of a starliner he had captured. Jameson then turned around and armed Karnas's enemies with the same weapons in an attempt to restore the BalanceOfPower, plunging Mordan IV into decades of civil war.
** This element could be seen as a {{Deconstruction}} of Kirk's actions in the ''[[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries TOS]]'' episode [[Recap/StarTrekS2E19APrivateLittleWar "A Private Little War"]].
