Picard: She's too emotional
Although, Red Letter Media actually pointed out
- there wasn't a huge establishment of Rafi carrying about what's his face, except by flat out just stating it
- in TNG there were cars when whole ships were blown up and the crew had to do their jobs instead of giving into emotions
Essentially, the argument is that the federation trains officers to deal with emotional issues and still do their jobs, then deal with the emotional part later.

Nepotism I guess 
Riight, or just, for reasons, because reasons.
This is how the "modern" writers and "modern" directors do Star Trek.

Hacking a brain of a Borg queen...
I might add that one on the "most Mary Sue feats" list.
@chrislw
Thanks.
I'm checking the red letter now, and it's quite good.
I'm a bit addicted to them. I actually have been adding movies from Best of the Worst to my Tubi watchlist. :D

At least, I've finally found the strength to NOT WATCH the STD.
I never watched it. I didn't really have a desire to.
The only reason I was interested in Picard was, well, Picard. But, Picard isn't really Picard in Picard so, it isn't worth it anymore.
Heck Q, isn't even Q. At least, not fun Q.
@LukeAlmighty But isn't she an officer now, and wasn't she previously an officer before they booted her for being a "conspiracy nutjob"?
