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!
