    Did Picard or Janeway outlive all their friends family and comrades.

    I personally have several issues with the show; but Ake’s posture is certainly not one of them – In fact I kinda like it. She’s giving me Guinan or Dr Who vibes portraying an outward silliness that hides an inner sadness and seriousness.

      Guinan and Dr Who weren’t captains. I don’t think anyone would take issue if it were the bartender portraying a laid back vibe, but you kind of want the captain to give the crew confidence that they’re alert and on top of things. Of course that’s not possible at all times, but that’s why the captain has quarters and a ready room. Some other officer should be sitting the the chair keeping an ey on things if the captain wants to read a book or whatever.

      It breaks immersion to have characters that are supposed to be ding serious jobs acting like teenagers.
