Haha yeah that's about right! And Michael is always right even when she's wrong because everything revolves around her for some reason. Not surprised there's an nb in there now...

The whole "let's follow someone who isn't the captain" idea can work since it can work as a plot device to keep information from the viewer and might be a good drama vehicle. But Michael is a goddamn fucking horrid character. Commits mutiny every five seconds. Hell I don't think she can get through a single episode without disobeying orders and obviously she's always right.

They did demote her for it once I recall, I think it lasted two episodes.

Yeah it bothered me too. Everyone is disobeying orders and somehow it's OK. At one point, I was wondering why they bother having ranks at all, as nobody does as they're told. Would never fly in old Trek.

Not to mention, the start of the show is Michael disobeying, triggering a war that presumably kills x amount of people but oh it's OK because she fixed it again and also is a good person. Or whatever, I can't remember. In any case, scot free for the rest of the show.
