Picard: She's too emotional

@LukeAlmighty

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.

@chrislw
True, although, I am not sure any of them except for 7 and Picard are actual officers.

Most of them are either "supports" or even in case of Rafi, drug addicts.

@LukeAlmighty But isn't she an officer now, and wasn't she previously an officer before they booted her for being a "conspiracy nutjob"?

@LukeAlmighty

Riight, or just, for reasons, because reasons.

This is how the "modern" writers and "modern" directors do Star Trek.

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
