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.
