But can we talk about how utterly stupid that entire character and his arc is? Easily the worst thing about discovery for me
I stopped caring too much after he was allowed not only to stay on, but actively work as chief security officer AFTER HE HAD KILLED A MAN in a blackout state.
I mean this is a ship that made an ensign Number One.
Oh and also rewarded Burnham with Captaincy after she defied orders a bajillion times.
I’m a simple man. I see a Toast of London reference and I get overly excited. But to have this community do it? Doubly excited!

That's Gale of Waterdeep of Baldur's Gate 3 there on the right, here in the role of "Danny Bear."
That was a great take Michael! Now do it once again, just to be safe.
“So this will be heard on every ship in the fleet?” “Yes, they’re just digitising and automating everything, so the commander presses a button and your voice plays…” “I’m not interested in all that, can we just crack on?”
The simplicity of that exchange, that Toast desperately wants to know why he’s saying these lines, but also is an ego maniac determined to show everyone this work is beneath him, cutting off the answer to a question he asked just to say he’s not interested, total genius. Toast of London, and in particular these recording scenes, is the best English comedy of the 2010s for me.
