I love Lower Decks but it certainly has this issue where the writers treat career development as the only meaningful character growth for the cast. Like they can't help but write strivers if that makes sense
Right? I kinda liked that Mariner didn't want a command position.
ugggggh they even tried to frame that as some kind of character flaw to be overcome
it's bad enough they made her related to the captain
oh yeah, there's this implication that she wouldn't still be in starfleet if her parents weren't embedded in command, but also she wouldn't be so reckless if she wasn't coddled by them? Kinda the wrong backstory to give your hyper competent, battle-scared soldier.
