      Well, that's how thing progress. Somebody tries to improve things by a small margin. Then the next guy improves that, and two or three improvements later, some guy 'makes a breakthrough', by consolidating the improvements. And thus progress is made.

      True.
      I really dislike that they could have used this episode to show why talented people should be forced to move up the chain of command instead of asked because this ship's Captain was obviously not the first choice and she only got the job because no one else was willing to.
      Mariner could have been the captiain of this ship and she would 't have gotten its crew killed...

    I really relate Mariner in this, in the air force I didn't want to promote because I liked being an responsible for only me and being able to help people the on ground. When I promoted to staff sergeant, I was behind put behind a desk and had to enforce rules I didn't like.
    Also, high ranks never speak their mind cause they have so much to lose. Which is why I think Mariner is so outspoken, she isnt trying to impress anyone cause she is only an ensign

    • @Timeward76
      @Timeward76 Před rokem +3

      Bridges having actual windows for viewscreen isn't even a bad idea, tactical-wise. If the viewscreen fails entirely, it means you can still see outside and have at least one thing to still be able to navigate by. Even in modern day, ship bridges are exposed instead of buried deep in the hull's armor because situational awareness is worth more than anything else. Can you imagine the nebula battle in Wrath of Khan if they could actually just look out through the inactive viewscreen to see?

      But the bigger starships in starfleet do in fact have a secondary bridge, or "battle bridge" as is sometimes called. Theyre just not commonly used because the normal bridge is often good enough for most things, and starfleet is rarely anticipating battle. When they DO anticipate battle, the battle bridge does come in handy. But given that the main bridge is usually the one used for most things, having an actual window I'd still a tactical trade off.

      During the Dominion War? Yeaaah. Definitely. Especially front-line vessels (and they were pretty much ALL Front-line vessels, especially after the Breen orbital-struck Earth that one time).
      This is post-Nemesis though, and Starfleet has shown a (marginal) return to a pre-war status. The padded grey/black uniforms are out, in favour of the less-agressive more colourful fair, and people are joining back up to Explore, not to Defend/Fight-the-Dominion.
      Also, the Cerritos isn't a front-line ship by design or mission. The California-class starships are support vessels in function and the Cerritos is outfitted as a second-contact vessel...so lots of diplomatic and technical-uplift/support duty with a side of good ol'sciencing and mapping, as it picks up the slack and left-overs made by the battlecruiser/explorers like the Galaxy or the Sovereign or even Nebula, Akira, and the handful of venerable centenarian Excelsiors that managed to survive through the big DW and Borg attacks.
      The Cerritos herself is probably getting a bit into her years of design relevance, as the California class seems to have a mostly TNG-era Galaxy-stylized features...Akira-esq, at the latest, based on the nacelles. Design wise, the California-class has details that could point to it being a protodesign for the Steamrunner, with the raised wedge on after Saucer section and the compact stardrive/main-deflector section between the nacelles....just cut off a chunk of the saucer's forward parts and chuck the pylons in favour of integrating the front half of the nacelles and bussard collectors into what's left...and viola. Steamrunner.

      In TOS, Kirk was only in his early-30's. Granted, he was acknowledged as being young for a captain, especially of what was at the time a top-of-the-line starship. But Starfleet does seem to reward talent and accomplishments without getting too hung up over age. Mariner acts like a college student, but she's obviously much older considering the long list of adventures she can rattle off. I'd guess that she's at least 30.

The youngest captain in Starfleet history (Tryla Scott) was 28 when she took command of the USS Renegade. So that is a hard lower limit on Mariner's age.

      *@Oldtaku_DD ~* In a broad sense, you are correct. *;)*
      1. Yes, Ensigns Bradward Boimler and Beckett Mariner are the same age (according to Boimler), and therefore are also the same age as Captain Amina Ramsey (voiced by the lovely Toks Olagundoye).
      2. The difference between Mariner and Boimler is that Mariner was *_born into_* Starfleet, similar to Wesley Crusher; unlike Boimler who (probably) enlisted at whatever age-minimum there is. Unlike Wesley, however, Beckett was raised with Starfleet from an early age (how early has not been specified yet); as opposed to Wesley starting in his late teens. This *_early_* start (rather than a "head" start), combined with her natural talent(s) for Starfleet work, is why Mariner is so proficient in many fields, and also why Mariner has far more field-experience than Boimler.
      Think of Mariner like Jack Reacher. Reacher was born into the military, raised in the military, trained in a wide-array of military skills since childhood, and (field-)experienced military life as his father (Captain Stan Reacher) moved from posting to posting, all long before Reacher was of-age to be formally enlisted. Thus why Reacher as a character is a _plausible_ badass, especially when it comes to dealing with the military.
      Unlike Reacher, who left the military, Mariner _remains_ in Starfleet despite her frustrations with some of the rules, protocols, politicking, and even her parents; because Starfleet-life is all Mariner has known, and cannot imagine being anywhere else (also in addition to Mariner still believing in Starfleet's nobler ideals). The positive-strength of Mariner's character is that she is working to find her own way and place in Starfleet, at her own pace, not letting anyone/anything dictate her path.
      Hope this helps clarify. *:)*

      2. Captain Ramsey and Mariner are of the same Starfleet class-generation; so, obviously, they are the same age as well; which is the central point of Ramsey's character for this episode's [1x07] story. Ramsey's story-role in this episode is for character-contrast, to show *_"What Could Have Been",_* had Mariner followed the Path of Ambition/Promotions after Starfleet Academy, as everyone expected Mariner to do. ("We all thought you'd be the first captain from our class.")
      3. I think 30's age-bracket may be too far. The Lower Decks crew are meant to be the thematic opposite(s) of the Senior Officers, so they are probably much more youthful (especially Tendi, who is the _"Kid"_ [character theme] of the Lower Decks cast), probably in the _"Young Adult"_ range (whatever that may be in the ST:TNG era).

    I read a few commentaries here that speak about unwillingness to take on responsibilities and command.
    Humility is admirable but consider that you might be talented and that people want to promote you on merit not dumping more work on you.
    Also consider that maybe the next person who is in line for that promotion is just willing to gain the fame or the benefits of the promotion, but they have no experience leading people. Are you willing to let your fellow crewmates die following the orders of someone who was less capable than you?
    The ship's captain is the basic example, you can tell that she was not ready for that responsability yet she got it because people like Mariner didn't want the responsability.
    As a result she get her ship and crew members killed and Mariner got to sleep in and do her Robin hood.
    The series could have said something about lack of willingness to take command and the consequences of those actions but it choose to just turn Boimler blue and a weird Dog Thing parody...
    Sometimes this show had some great ideas that it has to scrap for the sake of jokes... and it's sad.

    I really dislike this episode because it cemented that Mariner was a Mary Sue.

      Well that's stupid. She fails often, has personality flaws, and a background that shows why she is a badass, and when her male boss trash talks her, and physically assaults her, not only does he deliver on his promise to be physically dominant, she wants to have sex with him over it.

      You are aware, surely, that EVERY MAJOR CHARACTER in Star Trek is a Mary Sue at some point. Every last one.
      That's just how they wrote the show back in the day. Only recently have writers allowed the idea that our heroes have character flaws. That's a recent thing, ok?
