When I was a kid watching TNG I cracked up thinking about that when they first mentioned the institute. I just figured they chalked it up to a work place accident from untested hardware. Of course maybe the people who named the institute didn't know that daystrom chided Kirk about the other starship being toys that M5 was crushing. Lol
That she's the nurse. And people are FUCKING DEAD. And her patient might die. And they're in most cases not co-workers they are superior officers in her care.
To reiterate I'm not saying they must be stone statutes. And there is a camaraderie. And there is gallows humour. But she's also in the military. And she acts like a high teenager and it's at contrast to life and death situation they are trying to portray.
But that's also my Star Trek views.
Doc Cottle in BSG is amazzzzing. Even tough that's more militaristic than Trek I know.
I can only conclude you neither know that many inebriated teenagers, nor many teenagers enrolled in high school.
Well I don't know doctors. I don't know teenagers. I don't know ships. I don't know military.
But hey all pile on to the alien influence of an opinion you don't agree with.
Anyone else? I don't know women that much either being gay.
I certainly don't know sepsis, other than my terminally ill mother had it in hospital a few weeks back - but I don't know that either.
I don't know nurses - no never met them. Don't know doctors.
Chapel is SHIT. And I'm moving from not very keen to hating her just based upon the swarm heading for my location. Live with my opinion y'all?
Yeah,folks in the military facing life and death situations might joke around and make light. It's called coping. Tons of military films have shown the juxtaposition between humor and horror in combat. It's practially a subgenre. How does the saying go? "I laugh so I don't cry".
Also, she's a civilian at this point.
Which is why I quoted gallows humour and camaraderie. I'm not numbskull.
She's too much and feels too inappropriate too often to me.
I can‘t believe both La‘an and Pike forgot that they can‘t raise shields while thethered to the other vessel. And why couldn‘t they identify it when it clearly was a Federation design?
Spock‘s first mind meld with a human was retconned and Lt. Hemmer joins the other members of the main cast wearing incorrect rank insignia.

You're not being piled on -- two people disagreed with you about finding Chapel appealing.
If the character's personality just doesn't click with you, that's fine. But say that. Don't make ridiculous assertions like, "She's like a high teenager." She's not -- she's just a character you don't enjoy.
They forgot so people didn't jump on message boards posting "Why didn't they raise shields?!". Especially since bubble shields can be extended, and it's SNW's unique situation where they don't have bubble shields that prevents it. Same reason everything has to be explained with simple metaphors to people who know better. Characters have to be artificially dumb to match casual audience knowledge.
It's who she is. Its how she copes.
Look, you've been around here forever and even worked in admin. You've got to know that people will challenge your opinion. It's part of the whole discussion board concept.
And she's fucking annoying for it.
I do get the approach of discussion. But the approach should be "I like her because" whereas it's a lot of posts of "You're wrong because" and with huge assumptions of what I do or do not know. I find that frustrating.
And all over a reasonably throwaway comment that she's my least favourite character so far by EPISODE FOUR. We're literally four in. We all have a least favourite don't we?

She's a civilian, according to M'Benga. And she's good at her job. And she's funny.
Not that I've noticed. Not everyone ranks these things all the time. I like every character on the show a lot.
No people are disagreeing because they are or know people who are the real world equivalent of Chapel. Using real world examples is not a wrong approach. Countering your opinion with theirs is perfectly acceptable.
I like all of the characters so far. Hard to pick a least favorite. No one is in the annoying category.
Yeah, Hemmer and M'Benga are my favorites and none of them - I mean absolutely none - fall into the tedious or annoying category.
No. People are telling me I don't know professionals. I don't know nurses. I don't know teenagers.
Which are all assumptions. True some of those are reasonably correct, but not all.
And I still don't quite know how their local nurse in Hicksville's behaviour would still be relevant to a nurse on the Federation flagship in the military.
I mean we're literally arguing about how I can't not like a fictional nurse on a fictional ship because her behaviours I find unprofessional in a fictional organisation.
I shouldn't be surprised though, this is Star Trek.
Still think Chapel is a moron after about 180 minutes of television, not all including her.
I hated Bareil as well as he was dull as ditch-water so I'll head over to the DS9 forum so people can tell me how their local vicar is dull too. Still don't like him.
Ok but what exactly do you take issue with? A specific line of dialogue or action, I mean. And what else should she have done to satisfy you?
This is a serious question, by the way.
If you don't want your views challenged I suggest leaving the internet well alone.
But I suspect you have no issue challenging others on their own views, yourself. There's nothing wrong with that, but you have to be able to take it as well.
