Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 1x10 - "A Quality of Mercy"

Sure that is what the helmsman on the USS Kennedy asks the Captain.

Once again, TV. The show doesn’t exist to be a treatise on military etiquette.

 

[Tuskin38]

Starfleet also isn't a typical military. (or not a military depending on who you ask)

Have you served? Do you know anyone who has?

 

[GNDN18]

“First date or third date?” WTF does that even mean?

 

[lawman]

Not today, you aren't.

Yeah, my domain got poached from me awhile back. I really ought to update that sig line. Just haven't taken the trouble yet.

Sorry, though. Were you hoping to locate more of my scintillating and stimulating writing?...

 

[Dukhat]

You are correct, I won't. Though sometimes I use "No" or the classic "Nope", just to mix it up.

Whatever helps you sleep at night in your effort to be condescending to other posters here. I’m sure Serveaux knows what I mean.

Sailors in the Navy IRL say even more risque things to each other, of all ranks and grades. Remember Tailhook? Eh... Maybe you don't...

I've worked with sailors, Marines, and Army personnel. They say some crazy stuff. My favorite was my uncle threatening to have a court martial drawn against the commanding general due to a paperwork foul up.

Stuff happens like on SNW, and worse.

And like many modern trek characters, never acts like a professional or an adult.

You and I hang out with very different professionals and adults.

The crickets probably understand military protocol better than some Trek fans.

How odd that a small word can garner such a large reaction.

It’s not the word. It’s the context in which it is used. But you already knew that.

 

[Nerys Myk]

'fraid not, Professor X.

 

[Dukhat]

'fraid not, Professor X.

I’ve had about enough of your condescension for today. I’m out. You win the internetz. Feel free to chat with me again when you’re up for some actual intelligent conversation and not a dick measuring contest.

 

[Nerys Myk]

I’ve had about enough of your condescension for today. I’m out.

jeez. The drama.

 

[Dukhat]

jeez. The drama.

WTF is your problem?

 

[Nerys Myk]

WTF is your problem?

Nothing. I'm having a good time talking about Star Trek. Engaging in a little banter.

That’s not remotely what you’re doing. But I will let a mod determine that. I’m done with your nonsense.

 

[Noname Given]

You know...I get the impression someone feels overly persecuted about their opinions.

Probably not. I sleep pretty well. Thanks for your, ah...concern.

 

[T'Bonz]

Enough you two. It's weekend and I'm disinclined to work hard.

It's not "banter," so let's not pretend that it is. A pile of crap is not a bouquet of roses.
