Gosh dang this show was ahead of it's time. It was practical military and humanizing space before BSG. We weren't ready for it.

Space: Above & Beyond would like a word

I love carter, but definitely not a good fit for starfleet. Too "us military" for peaceful exploration. Also too moral for Sec. 31.

Definitely daystrom institute, specializing in first hand field research.

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

She was NASA, and Air Force, which is the least US Military of the US Military.

Pff. If Carter had been in Voyager the Delta quadrant would have been a single episode.

[-] EggInDisguise 8 points 1 day ago

Carter would have set up timers on all their torpedoes, found a way to get them home with the caretaker's station, and had the torpedoes beamed all over the station set to explode minutes after the ship got launched back.

Figures the ONE TIME Janeway respects the prime directive....

Gotta make sure those torpedoes are are armed with C-4 warheads, though.

[-] EggInDisguise 3 points 23 hours ago

If they had access to photon torpedoes on the daedalus/prometheus/Apollo etc, they'd definitely use them.

C4 is a sidearm though, everyone needs a cargo pant pocket filled with it

[-] SatyrSack@quokk.au 5 points 1 day ago

She looks like a good fit for deep space radar telemetry.

[-] EggInDisguise 2 points 1 day ago

Probably in need of a new toaster, as well..

[-] SippyCup@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

In her defense, an air force captain is not the same rank as a captain in the Navy, which the starfleet ranks are based on. She'd be like a lieutenant commander in starfleet. So I think she'd fit right in.

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

She made full-bird colonel (O6) eventually, which is Captain in the Navy

[-] EggInDisguise 3 points 1 day ago

Meh, she's only a captain in the beginning. As far as I'm concerned, she's Colonel Carter.

[-] grozzle@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

She made it to full colonel by the time of Atlantis, same rank as the full-time commanders of Earth's biggest space carriers.

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

I had no idea. That's interesting.

[-] teslekova@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago

Daystrom Institute, first hand field research... That's the best Star Trek pitch I've ever heard!

Best to file off the serial numbers and do it outside Paramount, though. They're evil now.

[-] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 9 points 1 day ago

There's also that episode where Jack claims to be Kirk...

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
