I was enjoying the show but they make it hard to like with this lib shit

Stop trying to make it Star Wars you nerds. I want less "Starfleet sucks but it means well (We're actually talking about NATO, sweaty)" liberal drama and more goofy adventures visiting strange planets and getting weird viruses pls

Go back to stupid shit like Ransom turning into a giant head instead of this dark season length 4D mysterybox shit

Yeah thats right I'm still posting dumb Star Trek rants, you can't stop me. Go ahead and try

    I love Lower Decks but it certainly has this issue where the writers treat career development as the only meaningful character growth for the cast. Like they can't help but write strivers if that makes sense

      Right? I kinda liked that Mariner didn't want a command position.

        ugggggh they even tried to frame that as some kind of character flaw to be overcome

        it's bad enough they made her related to the captain

          oh yeah, there's this implication that she wouldn't still be in starfleet if her parents weren't embedded in command, but also she wouldn't be so reckless if she wasn't coddled by them? Kinda the wrong backstory to give your hyper competent, battle-scared soldier.
