Which is plausible. But it has the unfortunate implication that the rest of Starfleet and the Federation are, in general, a bunch of incompetent and/or jerks.Mark wrote:I would guess he encountered alot of "racism" in his early career, as he never formed the kind of friendships he did on the E-D.
I never liked the idea that the Enterprise crew happen to be ZE MOST UNITED AND FRIENDLIZZ as it was stated when Remmik came for investigation. I can buy it they happen to be the most competent/skilled (it's the flagship), but then again, if the Enterprise crew rates for a 10, other ships should rate for a 9.
However, stating that they are automatically the most "decent" crew? I think that's just one (superfluous) extra step toward the USS Mary Sue.
