Yeah, but that was said in a movie where they could potentially have sweared as much as they wanted to. Or at least acknowledged that 'dumbass' wouldn't be some shocking thing to a guy from the future.
Yeah, it's like the transporters. They were originally made due to the limitations of making a TV show (budget didn't allow a landing sequence every episode) but they've become an established part of the universe now.
I laughed out loud when Spock went "OH F...." and then they cut to the title in STNW.
My favorite instance of swearing is in one of the TNG movies (can't remember which one cuz it's been forever) when the Enterprise is going down and Data looks up at the viewscreen and the land is coming up fast and he just shouts "Oh shiiiiiit!"
I like the old shows more because everyone acts appropriately to their rank and station. In the new shows a captain can go like "fuck this ima go punch someone and act super emotional and irrational" because that's what a star fleet captain or anyone star fleet would actually do.
Right. And nobody cares because he's the best man for the job for some reason.
Maybe that's why i like voyager. Professionals trown into a hard situation. Although the maki were basically star fleet by episode 3.
