@@karakun1 the doctor from Star Trek Voyager is a hologram. Watch season 7 episode 19 and you’ll understand the reference.

@@thomasdang6322 oh that doctor.

@@karakun1 yeah he might be a hologram but boimler has a point. He does have rights.👍

Maybe the jerks from season one of Picard.

A third of the galaxy would probably be under Romulan subjugation, the other two thirds would be scrambling to defend themselves against the Borg, the Klingons, the Cardassians/Dominion, or any of the other galaxy-level threats that Starfleet keeps at bay almost weekly. No one’s demanding that you kneel and kiss the boot of every captain you see, but no one in an organization like Starfleet deserves that type of disrespect.

@@SpaceCase132 FRRRRR!!!!

Not to mention within 6 months, all those fucks would be dead or worse.

@@SpaceCase132 starfleet, wether they like it or not, are the wall keeping their part of the galaxy free from 7 different flavors of tyranny.

I mean….kinda? Like, there might be specific people who wouldn’t exist.and the universe wouldn’t be the same but the races would still exist.

Boimler was very much chasing people around and throwing things at them though

In fairness, when that woman pulled his pip, the rank he earned, I was pissed on his behalf.

@@thegrimmretails3777Yeah, doing that to the rank insignia of someone in the IRL military is a very bad move.

It's always the quiet ones that catch you off gaurd

@@someonestolebigboi-imbigboi "Demons run when a good man goes to war."

Ikr?

starfleet is so big they should technically split in 2 groups. like in TOS they mentioned the UESPA (united earth space probe agency) and starfleet. it makes no sense to combine both together.

@@cosmeticscameo8277 Like the Vulcan Explorer Corp is still around. But yeah, the whole idea of TNG Enterprise is a mess. It goes to the front lines, but there are families and kids aboard. It hauls around relaxation rooms, child care, and auditorium. But sure, let's face Cardassians with it.

@@recoil53 the enterprise-D if the show went according to the intention of hte ship which is deep deep space exploration of the far reaches of the galaxy than it would make sense as the ship has a cycle of 25 years. it comes home every 25 years. so you would need families, you would need recreation facilities, basically a mobile starbase so the crew don't go stir crazy from being gone from home for so long. let's face it if voyager was a galaxy class the crew would have much less incentive to go home in such a rush as at leas half the crew would have families on board and push comes to shove they got a big enough gene pool and with the kids to just keep making replacements if htey ever truly got flung far enough but yeah it's funny sending a explorer like the enterprise-D to the war zones. :D

@@joeswanson733 The intention of the Flagship of the Federation is to show the flag - go to hot spots and remind everybody the Federation is willing to put it's foot down. It's supposed to be half warship half explorer by design. Which intentionally puts children in danger.

...for you f*cks to question his agency... Just to be precise.

Someones* At the end of the episode the booth is surrounded by people signing up

he also makes a few good points during his rant, if Starfleet didn't exist none of them would be there in the first place as they'd either be at war or borgified, he rightfully called out the species that traps people inside of games, the AI-ism (racism but against AIs) against The Doctor from Voyager since he's counted as a crew member despite being a self aware ai that is normally banned by Starfleet (due to the majority of them wanting to take over the Galaxy), etc.

@@sliestwheel Plus these are all the idiots whom Starfleet literally saves every day because they CAUSE the shit Starfleet has to clean up.

@@sliestwheel actually, the majority of AIs in Starfleet aren’t evil, just a bunch of androids (which they were using as a slave race to begin with, the same thing Picard and Guinan warned of) got hacked by a clandestine Romulan group to stage the attack on Mars. Most AI life forms just wanna live. Except for the various evil computers in TOS and also Lore

It shows he's passionate about it. He's not just some ensign reading a script. The rarest and most valuable commodity in the federation is excitement. That's what he's offering. Most folks in the federation have never gone hungry a day in their lives. Food, water, shelter, medical care, etc. are a given baseline part of life for them. If you want them to sign up you have to offer them something they can't get if they stay home.

Everyone has a trigger button and we know what Boimler's is now.

His entire lofe is star fleet and rising up the ranks press that button or make fun of it enough and he blows up like the pakleds blowing up their own planet

Rank in star fleet means something to them like A doctor earning his PhD and being called a nurse you earned that shit respect the title. At least you don’t have to respect the person, but respect the rank.

@@hosungyoo5441 If you pulled off ANY IRL military person’s rank insignia it would be BAD.

We saw him throwing shit at people lmao, we never saw him attack anyone but he was flipping out lmao

He save the Titan crew members from pakleds using obscure transporter knowledge, risked drowning to fix the cerritos while it was in an asteroid field and beat a rigged training simulation *repeatedly* so that he could get a better score by beating the Borg Queen in chess and teaching the Borg the value of empathy. Boimler has always been badass.

@@mrshadow4007 He even sacrifieced his 'captain' look just his time with the Red Shirts to calm down Tendi when she was under the influence of the Mood Cube by pretty much humiliating himself to make her laugh, which earned him praise from Ransom for his quick thinking.He is a badass and always there for his friends.

He is a very simple man with a big heart who finds himself In compromising situations

He's a reasonable man in an unreasonable world.

He tricked the evil computer to send a signal for help.

I think she was more worried for her boi than wanting to distence herself. Also I think she is seeing what it's like to be on the other side of the "violent maniac" character

Shes not ashamed of boimler. She saw this eventually and was just waiting for the right time for it.

He's yelling and making a scene, sure, but he's also voicing complaints I suspect every starfleet officer has. Most of them don't _want_ to be a military, they just want to explore and study stuff. Buuuut space is dangerous, so they also have the weapons, so they end up dealing with _so much bullshit._ Honestly, boimler's freakout here is probably *immensely* cathartic to watch for starfleet folks in general.

I mean, they do have uniforms (even not being a military), so kinda hard to deny...

@@pamsp Lots of people have uniforms. The Coastguard has uniforms; the *Salvation Army* has uniforms.

*SuperSonicHeroes ~* Demons run and Angels tremble, - when a Good Man goes to War. - Armies break and Empires fall, - when a Good Man goes to War, - Night falls and Darkness abounds, - when a Good Man goes to War.

Amen to that.

I would think of all the insults five minutes later and be too useless at fighting to back my anger up.

If there is ever a time travel episode he and fishlegs ingerman would so get along

At some point it’s just rude.

Yeah it's really rude for the people to crush his rank pip

Yeah probably

She's probably thinking "Thank god HE flipped, I was THIS close ripping them a new one..."

Looks like a female klingon oh dear boimler is prey again

To be fair the Klingons know better than to piss Starfleet off *that* much.

@@chaoticsky106 Well, Klingons also respect someone who stands up for themselves. Remember Lt. Pazlar and the Klingon Chef on DS9? She gets the good stuff because she tears him a new ass. He laughs, tells her to wait, and gives her and Bashir the best he has.

She's thinking, "oh yeah, that human get it."

starfleet is so big they should technically split in 2 groups. like in TOS they mentioned the UESPA (united earth space probe agency) and starfleet. it makes no sense to combine both together.

Then don't make their ships able to stand toe to toe with the D'deridex-class Warbirds. The Voyager was also described as the most advanced ship in the sector. It doesn't scream peace.

@Tin Watchman The Borg was completely off scale as a threat - it took down 40 Star Fleet Ships without an issue.

@@recoil53 Okay, what about normal threats. Oberth class science ships are infamous for getting blown up, because they're geared almost entirely for science with little defensive or offensive capability. A Galaxy Class can do science wherever it damn well pleases.

@@recoil53 peace was never an option, it's the result.

Someone had to say it

Tbf I don’t think anyone likes those guys

@@DwarfDaddy the guy in the episode had a magnificent mullet that would put Kenny Powers to shame though.

Honestly he let them off easy. I'd be roasting those goofy looking dip shits for a solid minute.

STOP TRAPPING PEOPLE IN GAMES!

Yeah Boimler whole thing is that he is all about Starfleet, he follows rules and regulations, respects the chain of command and all that. Starfleet is his life and he will do all he can to protect it.

Captain. Nah, Boimler is admiral material.

@@fumarc4501 At any rank, he has the skill, courage, wits and heart to become a great senior command officer!

He would definitely have grown into the roll of Lieutenant if his transporter clone hadn't screwed him over.

@@thegrimmretails3777 Season 4 Episode 10 shows Boimler as an acting captain of the Cerritos, even if it is for a brief moment. He was pretty good at it, definitely is captain material.

That was kind of cemented for me when he beat an unwinnable game multiple times just because he wanted a 100%. I'm scared of what he could do if he had confidence.

@@Martialartfruituser He's working on it, and he will excel as an officer!

​@@Martialartfruituser did he passed the Kobayashi Maru test?!! WITHOUT CHEATING?!!!

rank means everything to brad. starfleet means everything to brad.taking his rank pip is like basically insulting his mother.

@Tin Watchman I honestly never heard that quote, who said it ?

@Tin Watchman nice call back to doctor who

Most people use it for the wrong type of 'nice guy' but in this case, this is real, this is w hat happens when you push a kind soul to far.

@@alvisceratortheultimate1660 it was from Doctor who. It was describing the eleventh doctor.

Take it off of ANYONE, elisted or commissioned, and you are getting demolished.

@@SoranoGuardias it's really sad that they are made to be that aggressive for no reason, though :(

I’d say I have more respect for starfleet officers than modern military because starfleet actually does stuff, but yes, you’ll surely get bodied

@@unematrix What do you mean by "made to be that aggressive"?

@@unematrix For no reason? Walking up to a complete stranger and putting your hands on them and messing up their clothes is very disrespectful.

To be fair, if Boimler tried to mess with a Vulcan, he probably would get bodied.

the vulcan actually looks annoyed

"Just a human being emotional. Nothing new here."

@@firebladeentertainment5739 Vulcans are in fact capable of very strong emotions. They are just as passionate on the inside as Romulans, which makes sense given their shared origins. But not every Vulcan has gone to the degree of emotional supression that Tuvok has. Kohlinar, after all, is an extreme. But generally it is discouraged among Vulcan to express these emotions. Doesn't mean it doesn't happen anyway sometimes.

theres also a klingon female smiling in the background as he yells at someone

Reminds me of "Laddie... don't you think... you should rephrase that?"

pip

They've done made him mad now

when we saw riker, titan crew other starfleet officers they're still wearing the DS9 uniforms lead me to believe that different parts of starfleet wear different uniforms kind of like in ww2 where european theater soldiers definitely don't wear he same uniforms as their pacific theater counterparts.

My interpretation is that there's general uniform guidelines for ranks and colours. But the specifics of the uniform is up to the discretion of each ship's captain to make each each other identifiable in a Starfleet setting.

@@utubrGaming Yeah that seem to be the thing. Uniforms can be updated per Ships affections discretions. In the end it's probably up to the captain to have the uniform be "updated", altought they would -at least I would- place the change up for a vote for the different options.

@@utubrGaming More likely, Starfleet Command has been routinely updating uniforms as the recent conflicts revealed weaknesses in the designs. After all, with matter replicators as standard, it's not a massive imposition to issue new uniforms, especially to ships on shorter assignments.

The LD uniform looks bad in live action.

At some point it just becomes rude 😔

so rutherford used to be a rebel racer. i prefer that to normal rutherford.

Except we didn’t get to see Ransom get the savage beating of a lifetime for being an unreasonable unredeemable prick.

I love them both

Boimler was REALLY toughened by his time aboard the Titan. It made him stronger and more confident to have served under Riker. Mariner is unreasonably good in a fight because she LOVES fighting. She works out by simulating a CARDASSIAN PRISON BREAK, her weapon of choice is a god damn Bat'leth, and she very likely served during the Dominion War. Mariner LOVES to fight, so obviously she's had a LOT of training.

He's a trained officer in basically space coast guard. What do you expect?

Mariner is not "unreasonably good" in a fight. she just better than what you like. It makes sense she can fight because she been around nothing but fighters

@@IronheartvsMiles I don't mean "unreasonably: in terms of her being a girl or in terms of realism, I mean in terms of she can absolutely annihilate anyone else we see on screen in single combat except maybe Shaxx. She absolutely beat the shit out of both Boimler and Rutherford while blind after breaking her only means of discerning her surroundings except for the sounds of terror and pain. Girl's crazy good.

Lets not forget he (eventually) scored 100% in a scenario on a Borg cube by himself.

Bones said no one's gives it twice, kirk did it 3 times. This mf did it 17 times!

You think he ever figured out it's designed to make you fail?

It attests to his determination.

@@folklore19 after the 17th try his commanding officer probably filled him in. We saw how dedicated he is to performance perfection in the Borg simulation, he probably would've kept going

​@@beastinthesky6774 Yeah I figure. Boimler is SO persistent he'd likely spend DAYS in the Kobayashi Maru simulator to brute force a solution.

Picking off somebody's rank insignia and stomping on it is just asking for a fight. No wonder Ransom said he'd get Boimler a beer.

Or that the federation is screwed up beyond measure.

Is anyone saying it's just a military? Usually the argument is that it does everything a military is supposed to do, but acts like it isn't one.

@@ReddwarfIV One of the people at the fair, but they were just going back and forth being assholes.

@@ReddwarfIV good rule of thumb, if the question is, "is someone actually saying (dumb thing)", the answer is yes, someone is actually saying dumb thing. never doubt the human ability to say dumb things

Jack quaid

I'd love to see recording booth footage from every episode. Imagine the blooper reels!

That is Jack Quaid voicing Bradward Boimler.

Running around the booth ripping soundproof foam off the walls.

​@@spyrofan9681That'd be awesome 😅

To rub their own ears, obviously.

I thought it was to Sit and Spin personally

Mostly language isn't part of the universal translator.

To selflessly donate their money to charitable and worthwhile causes. This clip was taken from the Ferengi Alliance cut of the episode, if it helps.

@@commander144 Is that considered a racial slur? I'm legitimately curious and mildly amused if it is

And how they spin it that a tiny robot did it

I know, right? Apparently they had to cut 90% of his dialogue from DS9 because he just wouldn't shut up.

Yep. Been there.

DEFINITELY BEEN THERE pal! MANY A time-when you pick on the smart kid and push her too far, YOU GET A WHOOPING AND A godzilla bite to the arm if ya pop balloons in her face!

@@brucechmiel7964 as have I.

they took his rank insignia and stepped on it. it's like calling the enterprise a junk heap in front of scotty prepare to get your a-- kicked.

@@cosmeticscameo8277 Yep, this was Boimler's "Laddie... don't ya think... you should rephrase that?" moment.

"All you do is trap people in games, STOP TRAPPING PEOPLE IN GAMES!!" That felt cathartic to hear.

Only children enter at the first shap!

They also had the Ktarian brainwashing game from TNG "The Game" at their stand.

A sitcom set aboard a starship.

Which is why it's also part of the prime canon.

Exactly!

Mission failed successfully

He only got a day in the brig and that's probably because it would have looked really bad on them if they actually didn't do anything about a member of Starfleet freaking out screaming like that.

"Your lobes are small!"

Preach!

In reality Bloimer basically get just a slap on the wrist with Ransom honestly proud of what he had done as probably the heckling happen every time and Starfleet need/must always act as the adult in the room and just take it from people that in the end are ungratefull karens as they were saved many many many times by them

@@lukedalton Make sense a Ransom seems to have a strong respect for Biomler especially after the Bridge Buddy episode so understandable he would let him off easy especially since it was that freak out that got people to sign up.

@@lukedalton Trumps. The guy did always piss all over the Military or anyone who was selfless his entire life.

Yes, thank you for summarising the episode. Saves people a trip to Wikipedia, I guess.

He didn't just take it. He owned it. Rode it and put it away wet.

Klingons love people who stand up for themselves. Remember the Klingon Chef on DS9 and Lt. Pazlar?

Nah. You gotta parse something like this out carefully. This is a gem to be polished slowly, rather than just passing it out.

I hope they make a behind the scenes comparison book like what they did for TNG and Voyager. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🙏🏻🙏🏻

same thing happens if you tore off the brass of anyone in the military, except they would beat your A$$ on sight XD

Usually before the episode even starts

To be fair, from the outpost scientists perspective they likely see themselves as willingly putting themseles in those risky situations too for the purpose of research on alien civilization. It maty not be that they are neccsarily as truely opposed to starfeet as much as them being rude makes them seem but that over time interecting with starfleet effects on their own projects has downsized their feelings for how beneficial starfleet's behavior is at times.

The snapping of a rope has enough force to take someone's head off fyi...

he's potentially an augment.

The nice ones are always the scariest. Just ask Bronies. I mean, Fluttershy may be nice, but, as the old saying goes, don't make her angry. You wouldn't like her when she's angry.
