Star Trek - Series and Films

One thing that bothers me about Discovery is the way the officers conduct themselves. Starfleet is a scientific/military organization with a strong hierarchy and chain of command. Yet, they are always swearing, mouthing off to superior officers, discussing their feelings openly, and wondering if they are seen. In last week's episode, Tilly (not a fan) was telling the First Officer how to communicate with the crew, chewing him out, etc. Such behavior would never have been tolerated on any other Trek show.

I agree. It's a big turnoff. One great thing about TNG was that it really felt that, for the most part, the adults acted like adults. I heard someone refer to it as "competency porn" and I thought that was both funny and accurate.
