I hoped for Barclay but it’s Beverly Crusher.

I really would love for this community to implement tags of some kind. I honestly couldn’t care less about what characters are doing in the comics.

I can’t be the only one getting a little tired of clickbaity headlines like this exploiting the ambiguity.

Edit: Big props to OP for editing the title.

There are several of us who would like eventually to see a Treklit community here for books and comics.

We’re still a ways away from having the numbers to make that viable so we’re all together with the shows in the main Star Trek community for now.

Lemmy doesn’t yet offer functional tags unfortunately. Best to keep our sense of humour as most of us do our best to use the titles to distinguish.

don’t understand Barclay stans.

He was problematic AF and then when he did have confidence, he was always a bit of a dick. And he had the absolute worse combover in starfleet.

His story arc in Voyager is pretty redeeming.

If Barclay can’t even command an away mission how is he going to command a starship?

Barclay’s actor has become a truly odious person in real life –– I don’t think the TNG cast (Stewart in particular) would have agreed to have him on the show.

Yeah, sadly that’s my impression as well. I really like his acting style and remember him especially for this scene. But it’s not easy to separate the artist from his art.

Command and medical are two separate tracks though. Would a captain of a hospital ship need a medical degree?

That’s true but I would think that the career path to captain would be more agnostic. Starfleet would benefit from having captains with tactical backgrounds, scientific. Backgrounds etc.

Same reason lots of school principals are former teachers, I guess?

Probably not need but it would be helpful when determine where to apply what limited resources (time, staff, ship location) is most needed for a given mission

Crusher? Shes a doctor, not a captain

“All Good Things…”? PIC S3? Hell, she was the ranking officer of the Enterprise-D in “Descent”.

It wouldn’t shock me if the Federation had a fleet of medical ships captained by doctors.
