Rewatched the episode and it occurred to me that I hope that Admiral Vance didn't just put a big fat target on his chest in that meeting with Braka.

New CinC? Why would Vance leave?

It would mean if he exits, pursued by a bear, that the new CinC might be more antagonistic to Ake, which Im curious to see. Maybe a Ni'var (Nivarii, Nivarian?)
Or Genesi' dad?
Okay, I didn't see that.It was a reply to Turtletrekker, the post immediately before mine?
I was just finding humor in an example of a apparently non combat officer ending up poorly handling a combat situation.Commander Hutchinson.
And he was in charge of Arkaria base in "Starship Mine". As soon as he asked what was going on, he was shot and killed. As leader of that facility, he supposed to find out what the situation was. Geordi got lucky that the guy who shot him did not have his weapon set to kill, unlike the guy who shot Hutchinson.
And I don't see how being proficient at small talk has anything to do with a cadet or officer not being able to handle a crisis. In Hutchinson's case, he wasn't losing his cool. In the cadet's case in this episode, she was completely losing it, and was (correctly) removed from the bridge so the distractive element is gone and people can do their jobs.

Ah, okay. Didn't realize it was a joke.I was just finding humor in an example of a apparently non combat officer ending up poorly handling a combat situation.
It was not meant to be taken seriously. Just something in one of your posts reminded me of Hutchinson, and thanks for the correction.

It's fine. It's just my own odd sense of humor popping up. It usually doesn't make sense.Ah, okay. Didn't realize it was a joke.

I didn't expect that.Advanced weapons research facilities should be ultra-cloaked from now on and preferably placed near the core of Jupiter. And codenamed: Spanish Inquisition
I didn't expect that.
This station is fully armed and operational with the comfy chair.
I am glad you like it, honestly. It's just not what I'm looking for. I don't hate the show by any means. And, I get that it is what others are looking for.For some, maybe, but I like it. And I'm 40.

Agreed. Angst and pranks aren't compelling.Neither is teen drama and a prank war.
And, in a nutshell, that's why we we disagree about this series.Pranking is aways compelling entertainment.
Yes, please!That would be a different show.

Holly Hunter is fantastic in this show!
In the end, it is good that they have different types of series for different tastes. I can appreciate that even if this one isn't my favorite.![]()
I'm a self-acknowledged continuity and canon nerd and even I wouldn't want to be the final say in things. Nobody in our community needs nor deserves that power.
We don't need to guess about that because we've seen cases where fans have become showrunners. Various examples in Doctor Who and Star Trek come to mind.I'd love to see it exactly once.
Having worked on a project with self described fan experts and the project was never completed I can say with a measure of certainty that it would be, as Doc Brown would say, a "spectacular wreck."
But it's not guaranteed to be good or bad.I have very specific ideas in mind that I'd like to see play out.We don't need to guess about that because we've seen cases where fans have become showrunners. Various examples in Doctor Who and Star Trek come to mind.
Sometimes it works well, sometimes it doesn't.But it's not guaranteed to be good or bad.
Just count the ST examples then. But sometimes it works out ok, sometimes not.I have very specific ideas in mind that I'd like to see play out.
And I don't count Doctor Who as part of my Star Trek musings.
I'll take your word for itJust count the ST examples then. But sometimes it works out ok, sometimes not.
