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.

You're a cool dude, OP. I withdraw my griping. :)

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.

[-] MajorHavoc@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

His story arc in Voyager is pretty redeeming.

[-] ren@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, we just did a rewatch and I’m still… not a stan. He just gives me the heeby jeebies.

[-] Cobrachickenwing@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Treatyoself@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I was reeeeeeaaaallly hoping for a Barclay cameo in Picard. Alas, poor Barclay never gets a break.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

He got a lot in Voyager.

[-] askryan@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] ArrogantAnalyst@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] SulaymanF@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] CynicalStoic@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] DrChaotica@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] SzethFriendOfNimi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Blamemeta@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Crusher? Shes a doctor, not a captain

[-] dmonzel@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

"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.

[-] Blamemeta@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Its a joke, jim

[-] th_in_gs@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

I can’t quite imagine how the TNG -> Picard timeline for her works out given this, presuming this is meant to fit into the same timeline. Can someone who knows the comics universe lay it out?
