Comment on Are We All Too Cynical for Star Trek?
c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 3 months agoIt’s easy, go and watch the way Picard deals with Barcley and then go watch discovery and see how their COs deal with problem crew members.
Modern Star Trek is written by adult children and you can fucking tell.

While I overall like SNW (like, not love), Pike seems more interested in being a friend to his crew (at least the senior officers) rather than being an effective leader who demands nothing but the best from his crew. Picard and Janeway were great at this. They were friendly enough with their crew, but maintained enough professional distance to not get too chummy. Sisko less so, but he knew how to walk the line between friend and commanding officer.

@PlainSimpleGarak @startrek Yep, I’ve really enjoyed SNW but the show seems completely unfamiliar with the concept of military discipline.
