On the contrary it is a big deal, it makes Ake extremely endearing and likeable.

She reminds me of a few of my professors in both my undergraduate English program and my graduate religious studies program, all of them wonderful and safe-feeling people. She's the first school chancellor we've really seen in Star Trek and she feels very much like a university-level educator to me--with the whole starship command piece being additional to her main job.

"It's a school but also they go on starship adventures" sounds so dumb to me I can't believe it works so supremely well.

I was fully prepared to dislike this show (Disco was on shaky ground with me, but I was more or less on board, then they went to the 32nd Century; I was not a fan of that jump at the time and worried that SNW was going to be the only outlier in regards to Disco spin-offs that would be any good), and I felt affirmed in that feeling during the first few minutes of the first episode. But once the tone changed a bit I was happy to watch the second episode. Then we met Tamira and I just kind of fell in love with the show. Then they managed to take something sacred (the Sisko), pair it with my least favorite character (the SAM), and somehow making it a truly great episode AND making me come around on said character (thus proving that Tawny Newsome is an absolute treasure to this franchise--give me a LD/STSA crossover now!).
