Also ludicrous. Everyone knows it's the non-coms who actually get shit done.
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Yeah, I don't know if O'Brien's rank was ever mentioned on TNG, but I'm pretty sure he was wearing Lieutenant (junior grade) pips on his uniform for his appearances. Once they moved him over to DS9 they started addressing him as a Chief Petty Officer and eventually switched out his pips for a different rank insignia.
ETA: I was off. He actually has full lieutenant pips on his collar in TNG and apparently Riker even calls him "Lieutenant" in an episode.
I think enlisted didn't start showing up onscreen until either after Roddenberry died or at least once he stepped away from directly running the show

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Signed,
Still mad about Rise of Skywalker. (Force Awakens was fine.)
I still haven't seen RoS, because I just can't be that mad at something fictional these days, and I know I would be. I actually had to try to explain to M the other day why some Star Wars fans don't like RoS, and there might have been some incoherent gesturing.

So all those guys in red shirts who got killed in the beginning of the show were officers? Guess that would explain why Starfleet would have been all officers ....

After seeing it, I was playing with a random hurt/comfort trope generator that spit out the whole plot at random and that pretty much sums up that clusterfuck.

I saw RoS. I'm not angry about it, just disappointed. Part of that is because I actually really liked TLJ and RoS went out of its way to throw out as much of it that it could, and the other part is because it is basically just full of dumb.

Incidentally, I blame Star Trek for the fact I didn't realize that the Navy even had enlisted until I was an adult.

I liked the parts of RoS that I liked. Furious about the Rose stuff. Mostly I stripped it for parts to feed my enjoyment.

That's hilarious. I am in the haven't seen RoS group as well - mostly not enthused with a healthy dose of trepidation because I really like TLJ but also figuring I'll see it at some point because I can't go around not seeing Star Wars movies, can I? Although there are several that I haven't. But the "yet" is assumed.
