OT: Enterprise New thread....

[dmm]

I liked how the chief engineer did NOT want to spend all of his time in engineering, and how the comm officer did NOT want to go on the away mission. Only other time I've seen that kind of realistic human whining on ST was a Voyager episode where Janeway went on a mission with 3 misfits. But then we never saw those characters again, which was a shame -- everyone else was so earnest and capable. (gag) I'm not forgetting Q. A shallow, selfish, jerk -- so human. But he wasn't a crewman. Ditto with Quark. Oh, I did forget Reg! LOL! A neurotic crewman -- whoever thought him up should get an award. And ooops! How could I forget Bones? A cranky old guy who hates new-fangled tech. (Plus, with no sex appeal, yet he had a couple of love interests. Will we ever see anything like that again, I wonder? Why ARE all the non-alien/non-AI crewmembers so young and buff? Smacks of genetic engineering to me.)
