Well said. The unprofessional behavior is a significant contributor to turning me off nutrek. Why the hell do the engineering and science departments in discovery behave like 20 year olds in need of therapy? How the fuck did these people pass starfleet academy at all?
Another one who wasn’t actually paying attention to the scenario or the dialogue while criticizing the show for being ‘dumbed down’ for younger audiences.
I admit I’m losing patience.
Dudes!!! This takes place when the Academy is being recreated after Starfleet and the Federation were seen to have failed large portion of the galaxy after the Burn.
This means that this class DID NOT complete with the best and the brightest across a well connected Federation with a common base of expectations.
They passed the entrance exams but it was not the same as a stable 24th century scenario, or even the early 25th century where Picard’s son was fast tracked based on experience.
Some, like Genesis, are from multi generational Starfleet families that hung on in secret bases during a century of anarch.
Most of the rest are off their planets or out of their small cluster of planets for the first time in their or their parents’ lives.
Others are the first of their species to enter Starfleet and are there for political reasons.
I think it's fine if they act like highschoolers in a show for highschoolers. It just means that's not a show that's for me.
I can see someone else behaving like a 20 year old in need of therapy
Sadly i am a little older than that, the therapy part is accurate though.
I am however not a highly trained, best of the best, sci fi astronaut academy graduate charged with overseeing a critical element of a colossal machine designed to violate the laws of physics; so why does that matter?
