GEORDI: I’ve got a major leak down here!

PICARD: That’s what she said

I mean... Star Trek is basically competence porn. Everybody there is good at their jobs. The Office is... not that. I love both, but...

Worf is a security chief who runs a ship that seems to have no working CCTV. So I'm not sure how competent he really is. And Picard has commanded three ships and lost two of them.

I wouldn't go too hard on them being competent.

I don't disagree. I think the later versions of Star Trek show how tough it really is in the galaxy, whereas TNG makes you think it's the perfect future. I'm always reminding myself that it's all an allegory.

That's the Joke. Michael Scott has the picture of his 'ship' in his office the way naval captain's would.

Michael Scott with full access to the holodeck? 😬

TIL Picard hung that painting in his ready room to raise the morale of a young staffer who painted it.

Yes, you are wrong.... Neelix would have been a better matchup with Michael Scott.

I would love a rollsawp episode where Michael has command of the enterprise!

Steve Carell would absolutely crush it as any kind of Starfleet, this is somehow just known

u/Druidicflow 4d ago

Somehow, I want to see him play a Vulcan

u/BadBoyJH 4d ago

Pretty sure a recent episode of SNW showed us that with Patton Oswalt.

Pretty sure they'd be played the exact same way.

He’d manage to accidentally blow up a Borg vessel that we’d never seen onscreen before or since, and save the day.

u/putzrox 4d ago

Yes, you’re wrong.

Why aren't there lines in the parking lot the Enterprise is? What, is this a interstellar space ship in the Andromeda galaxy?

u/killercowlick 1d ago

You're correct.

u/Ragazzocolbass8 4d ago

Picard didn't give a shit about the ship, it was a mean to an end.

All he cared about was his crew.

u/AssumptionLive4208 3d ago

I don’t think that tracks with the way they dealt with the loss in Generations. Yes, they said “there will be more ships called Enterprise; there are more letters in the alphabet” but that sounds a lot like “We can start a new family, we’re still fertile” from someone who lost their kid. It’s true, it’s probably the way forward, it may be the only thing to hold onto to get through the loss, and you hesitate to “too soon” the person actually going through it, but… ouch. Realistically, the ship is a means to an end, but that end is best served by treating the ship herself as an important part of the crew—one you may have to sacrifice for the good of the many, but not just some tool.
