Picard and the rest of the bridge crew were just pretending not to see the disgusting RV parked next to the Enterprise on the scanners.  "Yeah, Beverly, I think that guy was really on the up-and-up. This was definitely the right call to let your son disappear with that dude."

The traveler also helped that grifter with his warp speed hack too. I don't recall why he did it, definitely not for fame or power or anything but he was still helping him out which makes him a bit of a jerk or at least a dumbass.

Something tells me that Lucille Ball would have demanded they do this if she could have gotten away with it with the network, back in the Desilu days, so it should be done for that reason alone if nothing else. I think it'll be charming and I'd watch this cast do pretty much anything. Also there's a pretty huge venn diagram of Trek fans and people who love musicals iirc I am assuming there will be at least one patter song

Musical should only happen if they include killer plants from out of space or haunted house mansions with mad scientist aliens throwing kick rear end parties. I really hope the SNW includes one of those two. Preferably both.

Musical episodes would work if the songs were actually good. That's the rare part. Crazy Ex Girlfriend had a song per episode and it worked because they put a lot of effort into making them catchy (and were produced by a guy who tripped his boards on Broadway.)

Just read a report, take a deep sigh and stiff drink, tell the offending Captain in question not to violate the Prime Directive doing something noble, and repeat. And that's their entire week, with the occasional meeting with their other Admirals to compare horror stories from the reports they reviewed.

At what point do they break and become evil, or is that just a requirement of being an Admiral?

That's why they get made admiral. It's better than leaving them in charge of a ship with all those peace torpedoes.

Kirk was totally an evil admiral, it's just that his evil was taking over a starship for selfish personal reasons and loving Decker's career so hard he had to leave this plane of existence.

that'd make a great lower decks episode; a wej Duj equivalent where it's instead a day in the life of admiral office dredgery. one guy has a worm, one guy's a changeling left over from the dominion wars, but they're getting stuff done

Has starfleet ever thought of just getting rid of all their admiralty and just getting one of those evil computers to take their jobs. It would save a hell of a lot of office space.

One about the infiltrated evil admiralty. One about the defeated OSHA division that's just given up trying to make any changes because nobody every follows their instructions. One about the people running the vault where you freeze all the people like Boimler who fell into the past until they've caught up to when they vanished. One about the people running the evil AI prison we saw.

A star trek admiralty show would just have them trying to figure out which admiral on the main cast is behind the big evil plot this week. At the end of the episode, they'd give the perpetrator a slap on the wrist as they joke about destroying starfleet next time.
