      Oh, really? Which other captains do that? Did Picard or Janeway lounge in their seats like 13-year-old schoolgirls? I don’t remember that.

        Did Picard or Janeway outlive all their friends family and comrades.

        I personally have several issues with the show; but Ake’s posture is certainly not one of them – In fact I kinda like it. She’s giving me Guinan or Dr Who vibes portraying an outward silliness that hides an inner sadness and seriousness.

        Damn, what has you so aggressive here? The other comment wasn’t venomous. Hell, it wasn’t even a little snarky.

        Something going on you want/need to vent about? Legit asking, I’ve had days where I got shitty to people that weren’t doing anything, and having a quick vent would have helped.

        I chill in chairs like that all the time. It’s comfy. Don’t be so self conscious you let schoolgirls have all the fun.

          Sure, but you’re not a Starfleet captain. It just doesn’t work for me for that role. That’s all.

          If she does that in her quarters, great. But it just looks unprofessional to me in the captain’s chair.

            That’s what I love, though. A boss today might feel the need to cultivate a “professional” work environment to maintain discipline among their underlings, or to appear trustworthy to their clients.

            Ake doesn’t doesn’t need to worry about discipline among her officers. They aren’t working for a paycheck, they’re there because they feel a calling and a duty to be there. She trusts them implicitly, and is confident enough in having their respect that she can enjoy her time on her bridge. And her “clients” are university age kids, who generally don’t respond to the pomposity of performative professionalism.
