I suspect they are trying to go big time show biz rather than remain the modest hard working crabbers they came in as.
ah crap - I was just about to post a terrific reply
to you when my cat jumped on the keyboard.
...sigh....
Point was, yeah, they might be trying to change
their fortunes, which I can’t blame them for,
I just hope it’s not done too underhandedly.
Dealing with a corp like Discovery, you gotta
be wary and not show your hand.
Editing in the show is, of course, a big part
of what impression we get of any of the men,
so I give slack on different things.
Jon’s son doesn’t have the experience or the
desire to be cap, but Mike the deckhand has
the cred - he let it go to his head a bit,
but I can be a jerk, too. :) I think Andy didn’t
want to crush Jon’s dream of having his son take over.
Hillstrands can be gamey - I assume you saw the
opener when Jon knocked Keith over? THAT was
my tune changer, but still and all, I so enjoy
the show and the men (gee (can ya tell?) and
I hope this turn of events doesn’t do too much
damage.
Once this particular group of Captains and crew and
ships breaks up too much, I think the show is done.
Discovery hit magic gold with this combination.
You're probably right...
