[QUOTE="Mage of Spellford, post: 7568048, member: 21576"] Sigh. Last episode I thought they were finally getting away from the continually disobeying a 'direct order' but no this week...there it is again. IMHO that is very lazy writing, one wonders how starfleet holds together at all with the crew blithely ignoring any order because of 'feelings' or 'introspective' or 'pretty much any other excuse'. Discovery: Capt: lock on to the enemy vessel and fire phasers Crewperson1: Captain you need to provide me with a reason a context to fire upon the vessel. And what does the definition 'enemy' actually mean anyways? Is it... Crew person 2: Captain the other vessel is locking on with weapons. Crew person 1: .....maybe because they have a different perspective than us. Are we justified in using deadly force in this particular case... Crew person 2: Captain they are firing weapons... Crew person 1: ...Maybe we just need to look at it from their perspective it would be wrong for us to assume that just because we believe locking on weapons is a hostile act that they view it the same way... Capt: What?!? Crew person 1: Sorry Captain I can't in all good conscience follow the order to fire the phasers when I have this personal quandary to solve." Capt: What?!? Crewperson2: Whoops enemy vessel firing! Shields at 5% and falling.... Yeah. So far we have one episode this season where a starfleet crew person didn't disobey a direct order from their ranking officer.. C'mon writers this is pretty basic stuff. Star Fleet is supposed to be a hierarchical organization. Back to unimpressed.. MarkK [/QUOTE]
