As long as they don’t do drug testing, sure.
Sign me up … I’d follow this Captain to any wormhole, space anomaly, black hole or empty space without a second thought
From what I watched of Discovery, yes.
Okay admittedly I have stopped watching in season 3, but in my opinion what sums him up is 1) neurotic 2) ridiculously occupied with his emotions and personal life.
Completely unprofessional. Of course he gets by just fine because he is also the smartest guy in the universe and is irreplaceable to the operation of the ship, but if he were held to normal standards he would probably have lost his commission twice over.
Not knocking our stamets of course!

Couldn’t agree more. Good point about Bones and Scotty, Stamets has that maverick energy. He’s not captain material, but it’d be incredibly boring if every character was
Yeah, my first thought was a clear lack of stoicism. Accepting the hard things and enduring forward fast because a Captain must. Everyone is depending on that. I can imagine this guy trying his hardest and then just breaks; blanks out, freezes up, is overwhelmed by what has happened and what is happening, instead of only thinking about what’s coming next, which is what Captain’s have to do and actually do.
The logical Captain performs well from remaining cool. The emotional Captain performs well by being selfless above all. He is clearly neither if something is personally impacting him.
To simplify, this guy would be good if he were more Vulcan.
Why don’t you ask him yourself? @Stamets@lemmy.world

I was honestly not expecting such a well-thought-out response to this meme.
I love this platform!
btw, out of interest, did you find this yourself, or get notified by the mention? I’m trying to figure out how mentions work.

The best character on Discovery. He would be good but he would want to be back in engineering.

I think Jett Reno is supposed to be the chief commander of the USS Discovery, considering she was the chief ___ on the USS Hiawatha. Though the show never explicitly states it, I think it has to do with very old Trek ideas of no enlisted personnel. ie, everyone is an officer who’s gone to Starfleet Academy.

Huh, I guess I just mentally interjected her position as Chief to make sense of her being a Commander then. She’s likely the 3rd highest ranking officer on Discovery, and yet she’s just a random engineer lol.

The only Engineering characters we’ve really seen regularly is Commander Jett Reno and Tilly. Kinda weird that. Everyone else is either command or operations.
I think you may have explained why Disco never felt right as a Trek series to me: Not enough engineers!
