Come on'n get your jamaharon on! There are no real rules—just don't break the weather control network.

Wouldn't have it any other way. Seriously. She'd be a bad Captain otherwise. Anyone who strictly follows the rules without considering the situation they're in is someone who shouldn't be the Captain of a starship, especially when you're exploring through space. I mean there is only one 'main' Starfleet Captain that we've followed across the series who hasn't violated the Prime Directive and that's Captain Freeman from Lower Decks. Well and Archer but that's a free pass considering the Prime Directive/General Order One didn't even exist at that point.

But I guess the line is: don't consume interdenominational space creatures and use their life force to help skip decades off the journey.

I would argue that's still a soft boundary - one she had to think about. Janeway's real line she won't cross is promoting Ensign Kim. /s

I want to see Ensign Kim in one of the new series, talking back and salty but unmovable. Just too valuable as an Ensign, Harry.

Yes!

I would love to hear Garret Wang's catch-phrase "Your favorite forever-ensign" in his voice in an episode of Lower Decks.

I haven’t hit lower decks yet but I’m excited! I got a trial of paramount and I’m binging discovery rn though so I’m on the way!
