I was listening to his latest stream, god that article is so dumb. They implied that the Federation only went to Bajor because of the wormhole, except that it's wrong, they never knew about the wormhole until they arrived there to help the reconstruction of Bajor at the end of the cardassian occupation. Also the Federation is a meritocracy, Starfleet wants the best of the best, there's nothing wrong with that and of course you will find characters who are assholes because - to them - it was the only way to climb all these ranks (and usually that makes some interesting episodes). People who fail Starfleet Academy aren't losers, they can succeed in other jobs, hell, you don't even have to be in Starfleet to have a successful career in whatever job you want (STP showed the opposite but this isn't Trek anyway).
It seems that the author's body turned into a recovery position the second she heard the word "elite". The Trill society is elitist of course, since there is a limited number of symbiotes and they need each other if they want to survive as a species but they need the right people who can accept to share their body and their mind with a symbiote for the rest of their life. DS9 had a handful of episodes that dealt with the process.
Only a matter of time until we'll see people in some ST show bitch about their student loans they needed to afford going to starfleet academy.
 
I get the idea behind Starfleet being the best of the best, but I can't help remembering an episode of TNG where the ship's power was down (again), and a patient's leg was broken in Sick Bay. A medical officer complained they had no way to help the crewman, and Dr. Pulaski ordered him to make a splint. The officer didn't know what a splint was, and when Pulaski explained it to him, he scoffed, "Such primitive medicine!"
I get that the writers were trying to show how down-to-Earth and devoted to medicine Pulaski was, but they really made me question the unnamed crewmembers' competency with that, at least in medical. I sure as hell wouldn't want that guy on an away team.

Keep in mind season 2 of TNG is the worst.
 
Problem with the "best of the best" analogy is it only applies to those wanting to join Starfleet not the whole population of Federation. That is the nature of a volunteer NOT!military and recruiting PR. Starfleet as shown in TNG is people get in on good enough; question is whether they rise to the challenge and better themselves or wallow in mediocrity like with Picard when Q put him into his own "It's Wonderful Life" reality.
 
Of course Wesley would like it. Why wouldn't he? He is involved with this shit after all.

I disagree. Discovery season one made me realize the idiots CBS kept hiring to write it never watched star trek. Season 2 comfimed those idiots don't give a shit about never having watched star trek and are indignant that you or I have.
With what little I've seen of Discovery, it feels like the writers have never even written anything in their lives. Much less a Star Trek series or even a TV show. Lower Decks, in my opinion, is only just a step up from that in that everyone involved seems to have a bit of experience in that regard.
 
The only reason why Wesley Crusher won't be back as a tranny, is because if he did transition to female, then the pedo-traveler wouldn't want to fuck him anymore. And the pedofuckers in Hollywood want to normalize pedophilia even more than they want to normalize trannies.

Imagine the gayops campaign one could wage to get Will Wheaton to troon out for real since the woke nut cases think only troons should play troons.

Well, that crewman is supposed to use a method of mending a bone that has gone out of fashion most likely hundreds of years before he was even born. It would be akin to some Doctor needing to leech someone in present times.
Or, you know... cough sirup used to be made of snail slime only a few decades ago... to our perspective, that's pretty primitive, too, I'd say.
So we can cut him at least some slack.

But I admit, they should be capable of using whatever method is available and setting a broken bone using a splint is something that you can do even after you crashed your shuttle into a planet and only have scraps to work with, cause every gadget and doodat failed for some technobabble reason.
 
Episode 2 was ok. Less rick and morty and more futurama this time. It was funny when the android guy moped the holo Borg.
Everytime Mariner and Lt. Soy are on screen it's the worst show in the history of worst shows, but when they go away I see the potential this has.

They had them in medkits by the time the Dominion War started (when exactly what you mention happened).

Didn't that become Futurama's problem as well? Fry and Leela became absolutely miserable (I didn't watch the Netflix episodes..but by the end of the last movie I was fucking done with Leela and Fry simping for her was getting old)
 
The difference is neither Leela nor Fry were written as "perfect" beyond reproach, and here Mariner despite being relatively young not only has served in every starship in existence, done every type of command and friended every race ever, she must remind Lt Noballs constantly with what can only be called whedonian-smugness at this point.

I think they watched a couple of DS9 clips and saw Dax beeing awesome but didnt understood what she was.
