In the case of Chapel in SNW doesn't she come from a scientific research background? The nursing business is her secondary position. Also she's a civilian contractor of sorts at this point. Military protocol likely not her strong suit.

Chapel is not a civilian. She's a member of Starfleet just like the rest of them.
 
by the end of the episode he was even stoned.

At least it was James R. Kirk who killed him and not his best friend James T. Kirk.
Gary's the one who put "James R. Kirk" on the Tombstone. Perhaps they weren't really good friends as even when Omnipotent, Gary Mitchell COULDN'T recall Kirk's proper middle name/initial. ;)
 
Yeah. Snarky. Flippant. Unprofessional. Neurotic. Just the thought of a nurse saying what she did about sepsis is just odd. And it's not relieving tension. It's not gallows' humour. It's just deeply inappropriate and jumps out.
I don't even recall her line. that's how much it "jumped out" to me. :lol:
 
Well, I gave it a 9.5 if we're still talking about ratings.

A great space battle episode and a great disaster episode rolled into one, with lots of good character development, a setting that really sells the cat-and-mouse submarine analogy, and plenty of opportunities to see the core cast at their best. I loved the mind-meld sequence with Spock and La'an (and the nice little bonus Michael Burnham cameo that comes with it), and it was a good call to leave the Gorn off-screen save for their ships. The Gorn semaphore thing was a bit odd and I was a little confused by the optical-illusion premise of the Pike Maneuver (and it was a wee bit dramatically convenient for the brown dwarf to be in the process of consumption by a black hole right at the time of this encounter), but these are relatively minor gripes given how well everything else works.
 
I worked 40+ years with RN's in a hospital.
Snark and kidding around with each other during our shifts, was usually the best way to handle what we see and have to do on a daily basis.
Better to relieve the strain and go off on each other joking around, than lose it with a patient.
Plus the chit and nonsense we have to deal with day-in/day-out, would make most folks quit.

Takes a certain type to deal with nursing care as a lifelong profession.
