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

Tune into the season finale, where you'll hear Admiral Clancy say: "Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherfucking Tal Shiar agents in this motherfucking Starfleet!"
I'm gonna start my own fucking Starfleet, with blackjack... and hookers (or possibly, in this case, hookahs).
 
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.
IDK - I would have LOVED:

Picard: "SHUT THE FUCK UP, WESLEY!"

on TNG in 1987. ;)
 
Fuck fuck fuckity fuck. I fucking love Admiral Fucking Clancy!
I was waiting for her to pull the Malcolm Tucker "Fuckity-bye!" when signing off with Picard.
Too much cursing, just to show this is adult content.
Too much? How much cursing is just right?

I believe that Admiral Clancy and Jean-Luc are contemporaries having come up through the ranks together for decades.
This may be why she has no compunction about telling him off in no uncertain terms.
Exactly.
 
Almost all of the cursing seems forced.
IMO, officers On Duty should not be swearing.
It seems very self consciously written and shoe horned in, in part to inject grit into it to hook non-fan viewers.and to stoke huge off-show controversy over non-issues. I don't see that it added any real dramatic quality to the show per say. She's like a swearing wind up doll and an amplification of the tired old trope of the nasty admiral.
