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

I do wanna see her commanding a new, massive ship, losing the battle, systems failing, her screaming FUUUUCCCKK as the bridge around her is burning... and then the Borg cube, the Titan, and the Enterprise swoosh in to save the day. Something like that. XD
 
I can’t believe people are still hung up on the swearing :rolleyes:
Fuck is my most used word.
I here by welcome our new swearing admiral!
Seems more believable :whistle:
Now yes but it’s always been implied that using colourful metaphors is very rare in the future.
 
I'm an absolute Picard/ Stewart fan, but to want her to be killed because she swears at our precious captain, or because she may not like him?! (Actually, I just think she finds him very annoying.) I think some fucking perspective is needed...

ETA: At the same time it is contemplated that one or two murderers might be absolved and remain with/ join the crew because, hey, they did what they thought was best!
 
Nechayev was competent?

We're talking about an Admiral who thought it was a good idea to send a decorated Federation captain (in command of the Federation flagship); one Klingon and one doctor to a Cardassian research facility just to verify a possible weapon. The data they had on the facility itself was years old; yep she somehow thought this plan would be successful.

There's also the fact that for years previous, Star Fleet and the Federation we're bending over backwards to appease the Cardassians, because the Federation couldn't afford another war; yet here we have an Admiral that sends in an ill equipped team on a mission that would probably lead to war, and in fact almost did.

I think you need to add 'in' to the word competent, to accurately describe Nechayev. :rommie:

Well we don't know if she alone came up with the plan. I mean for plans like that I am sure they have to confer with other Admirals and mission specialist and then the President of the Federation has to sign off on it. Plus let's not forget she was right about Hugh at least in terms of pragmatic thinking and she was also right in trying to remove the colonist along the Cardissian Border. If Starfleet had did this it would have prevented the creation of the Maquis situation.

Okay. The reason there was no swearing on televised Star Trek before Discovery was because of the FCC, not because humans had evolved beyond it or because it's "not Star Trek". Looking at Bones and Spock's interactions it really feels like a few F bombs would have been dropped by McCoy if the show could have gotten away with it. And TNG was not above having Picard say "Merde"
Whilst this probably should be the case, I get the suspicion many of us might be hung up on the one suggestion that swearing is not so common in the future. Albeit, in the 23rd century, rather that the 24th:

A double dumb-ass on you, anybody? :lol:

No one's hung up on the suggestion that women can't be starship captains or that the klingons are federation members.:shrug:Why can't this one be ignored too?
