I’d watch a series with a captain that bullshits themselves through. Not a stupid captain, the opposite: every intelligent, but heavily lacking knowledge. So they have to navigate smartly through every interaction and fake it until they make it.
The captains shown in Star Trek wouldn’t even need to be knowledgeable of all of these weird space phenomena. They have their science officers and general advisors they can ask “What are our options”. They’re just good managers, essentially
Those living in the US already know this story too well…
lol you gravely overestimate us
Also bonus points if the captain actually improves the situation via their lack of training.
For example encountering a race who insults one of their crew, normal starfleet captain would brush it off but fake starfleet captain challenges them to a fist fight.
Turns out the aliens greatly respect such actions and starts off first contact with a gesture of equal respect.
It’s called galaxy quest, but alas, tis only a movie.
I’m not well versed but Caiphas Cain from Warhammer 40K was supposed to be a big fraud that just happens to have a maxed out Luck score? Something like that would be fun lol
The man held out against an admitedly injuried Khornate berserker, he’s just got a healthy sense of self preservation and a cripling case of imposter syndrome.
Yeah that was my impression. Admittedly everything I know is either from that TTS animation and Adeptus Ridiculous podcast so basically memes lol
This sounds a lot like Lower Decks in my book.
The Irresponsible Captain Tylor. Nobody, neither the other characters or the viewers, can tell whether he’s a genius or a moron, but it works for him.
Damn, i love that show, but never expect it anywhere.
This would be the best series they’d ever made.
Captain Ross, a former Indiana Jones type explorer who’s taken over the identity of her dead twin sister after a tragic accident, to escape the Orion syndicate.
Ci Ci Ciaphas Cain, Hero of the Imperium!
Damn the enterprise still runs off coal.
Steampunk Trek spinoff please.
I’m imagining Geordi with a train conductor hat shoveling coal into a giant engine.
And has dophins navigating.
That’s just management skills. Look at this team shining!
yes! his salary should be, what do we think? 300x the rest of the crew’s? Sounds fitting!
He’s got a great team behind him, I’m sure it’ll all work out 🚀
They asked me how well I understood theoretical physics.
I said I had a theoretical degree in physics.
They said welcome aboard.
