re: #63 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

For a character that occupies such a central role, she is rather weak.

Can anyone explain how the chubby, flakey gal made it into an elite space exploration unit? That’s the character I don’t get. Yes, she’s a genius, but so was Hawking, and no one suggested he join star fleet academy. Oh, and then there’s Kirk, who according to the relaunch, got called into action and finds himself captain of the enterprise, surrounded by a crew of other third year cadets. Pretty sure it doesn’t work that way, in any planet’s navy.
