      Are these people even watching the show? (probably deliberately disingenuous)

      Ake sits up and also wears shoes when things are serious. It a consistent visual cue. I’d be as mad as they were if cadets were dying and she were laying back in the chair just shrugging it off, but that’s not at all what is happening. Part of her character is that she is serious only to the extent the situation requires, and I think that casual attitude makes sense for someone who has been around for hundred’s of years.

        Honestly? I have to assume not. I think they watch YouTube ““reviews”” of the show instead. At best, I’m sure some of them have it on in the background while they scroll rage bait on their phones.

        I think that casual attitude makes sense for someone who has been around for hundred’s of years.

        I think it makes sense too, but even if she was only in her 60s… who the hell cares? She gets the job done, she has the respect of her crew, again, who the hell cares? The fact that male characters (who aren’t 800 years old mind you) are seldom criticized for doing the same thing should tell you all you need to know.

      This begs for a response by Robert Ricardo, offering an analgesic cream for those burns. 😂
