The only other male bridge officer I can remember off hand is Spock, right? What a massive drift. “Can’t get used to it so therefore WOMEN EVERYWHERE”

Another reason to love SNW. As if one was needed.

    And Chapel. I know she’s not a bridge officer but still, a great character. Casting and writing is on point.

      She’s a great character but I only liked Chapel until she did Spock wrong in the musical episode. He pretty much (spoiler) left his fiancee for her (end spoiler) then she basically spaces him a few episodes later.

        It’s awkward writing a relationship you know can’t work out. Like, do you let it go on, letting the audience get attached even though you (and they) know you have to pull the plug? Or finish it quick and dirty? Not a laudable position to be in, making that decision.

          True, but I think the context of her being a big influence on his decision to call off the marriage was a big mistake. Making it a musical number was salt in the wound. If they downplayed the former and did the latter in a different episode I don’t think it would be so bad.

      Man… I always forget one thing and that one thing ends up being embarrassing as hell. Yes. Chapel. Of COURSE Chapel. I’m such a fucking moron.
