The Admiral "F***ing" Clancy Appreciation Thread

She's more upfront about her dislike for Picard than Admiral Nechayev.

Although I also think the reason Nechayev never threw a F-bomb at Picard was because TNG was a syndicated series aired on free TV with a PG rating...

Technically, it's not free. The commercials one looks at are paid for by sponsors, who then jack up the unit cost everyone buys. Even if they don't watch the show. The sponsors might pay for a group of programs or for the network in general, or the program in question as well. Depends on the model they use. But it's not free for viewers.
 
I also think her second fuck was justified. If she was getting ready to send a squadron to rendezvous with Picard's position but he was wasting valuable time lecturing her and preparing a preemptive insult ...

Yeah. Completely fucking awesome.

(Will this be a trope, I wonder?)
 
Too much cursing, just to show this is adult content.

I don't think it's too much cursing, but I do think it's a deliberate move to show that nu-nuTrek isn't your Daddy's Star Trek or even your Gen-X brother's JJTrek. Whatever, YMMV.

It would be one thing if the swearing was organic (like when Agnes dropped the f-bomb, that was fine), but Clancy's actress is just making some strange-ass diction choices. And from an In-universe standpoint, I just can't buy that a high-ranking admiral is going to be cussing out a civilian like that. All in all, it's just :rolleyes:.

But people here really seem to get a kick out of it, so hey, whatever.
