    Her loss. ‘the filming pacing was too slow’ ?? It was COVID, honey.

    They should make Bortus the new XO. :)

      Not necessarily her loss if the show loses cohesion without her. The relationship she has with Mercer was pretty central to the show.

      In fact, I would say this would be bigger than losing Riker considering how complex their relationship and their past are.

        I hope that, after three seasons, they’ve concluded that arc. Imagine seven seasons of Riker and Troi ”will they, or won’t they?” The smartest thing the writers did was have them both move on from their old relationship and still be friends.

        And saying she transferred away then having her come back one or twice a season in a recurring role is still possible and believable.
