Still No DSC Casting Announcement for New Captain?

Like Tom Decker, who valiantly gave his life fighting back the onslaught of an overflowing toilet.
Let's get it filmed.

"I want this. As much as you wanted KP Duty.. I want this" (loud awesome blaster beam sound effect and the sound track kicks in.. Tom Decker walks off, plunger in hand, into the darkness.
 
It can't be Matt Decker. Cool as that would be. Decker should be in the middle of his Glory Days as an Accomplished Captain. Maybe even at the height of it. The Captain of Discovery should be totally fucked up and then killed off. Until it's Saru or Burnham. I see Disco Captains being kind of like Pegasus Commanders from Battlestar Galactica... except they last a little bit longer.

So, like the teacher for defense against the dark arts at Hogwarts?

Besides, Matt Decker has an important job dealing with music on the Discovery already. He can’t give that up to just sit around in a chair looking grumpy and mysterious.
 
Sure, there's toilets. But they retract into the wall when not in use.
So, only prisoners get to chit.
Everybody else has to wait to be assigned to an away-mission to find a convenient tree.

That's why so many Red-shirts get killed, they're desperately looking to take a dump instead of paying attention to their job.
It would also explain the over abundant amount of volunteers willing to wear a Red Shirt !!
:biggrin:
 
There's a reason transporter operator is a crappy job and Mr Adventure from Search from Spock wanted out of it

Can you imagine how humiliating it would be to go through SF Academy and have "Old City Station" be your assignment as a Lieutenant? Ugh... that guy must have sucked.

One would guess that Mr. Adventure..., probably wasn't the Valedictorian of his graduating class.

In fact, he probably wasn't even in the top 50%, to have gotten that particular assignment.

I always thought it would be a cool "issue episode" of Trek to explore "transporter bulimia." Essentially have a character eat big meals, then run down to the transporter and set it up to beam their stomach contents into space.
 
That was Kelvin Scotty that did that..., not Uhura's "Mr. Adventure" in TSFS.
