I see you “get” what I’m talking about.
I also didn’t like Captain Janeway in the Voyager series because I would have fired her from the very first episode. She has a whole ship of about a hundred people, and could have used the alien device to send 99 of them home and keep one of them there to try their best to maintain the alien device. Instead, she risks the lives of all 100, losing about half of them along the way, to get home. As I watched the series I would say, “She’s fired” for whatever mistake, and it drove my wife crazy.
I kept firing Deanna Troi as well, because she could have used her betazoid telepathy powers to read the minds of whoever was causing trouble but didn’t do it most of the time. “wrong species” or some baloney — then what the hell was she good for, other than bitchy meddling? They should have tossed her character in the first season.
Indeed, the whole touchy-feely “Therapy Culture” balderdash behind having a counselor on the bridge was a bit much. That sais, she did fill out that one-piece uniform quite nicely.
But Beverly Crusher was HOT!!!
Your “She’s fired!” reminds me of what I drive my husband batty with when we watch TV. Whenever some yitzoid charater pulls a completely stupid stunt, I can’t resist saying, “TSL! TSL!” TSL stands for “too stupid to live.” Most characters that get that chant from me have me hoping for their death pretty quickly, just so I don’t have to watch them.
Troi had her weaknesses, but she is adorable.
Janeway was a lousy capt. She just rubbed me the wrong way.
7 or 9 rocked the house with that body.
