No. It fits Captain Angel’s perspective as an edgy pirate pining after their lover, but Starfleet is full of hopeful, enthusiastic scientists who are in space because they want to be. They love exploration for exploration’s sake, and are on a ship full of people who likely have similar interests.
Angel’s perspective is warped by their passion; I mean, they’re literally in the middle of hijacking a Starfleet ship to get their lover back. They think their dependency on love is universal, when in reality most people are more emotionally stable than them. Although it probably helps when you’re in Starfleet and have an incredibly supportive working environment and not, you know, a pirate crew.
Starfleet is driven by love and passion, just not in the toxic way that Angel is. Its a passion for exploration and discovery, and a love for your comrades and fellow lifeforms. Angel is right, she just goes about it in entirely the wrong way.
True enough; it’s a very different framing, but there’s still love there, still passion.
I think a big difference is that Starfleet folks tend to be more intrinsically driven. Space isn’t something that needs to be “made bearable” (unless you’re McCoy I guess)—space is cool in its own right, tons of things to see and people to meet. But on top of that, the Federation has such a high tech level and quality of life that living on a starship is pretty luxurious.
Well that, and a hot drink. Tea, earl grey perhaps?
Prune juice. It’s a warriors drink.
You wouldn’t trust a strange person so why should you trust a strange fart?
PruneVigilance Juice
An atmosphere helps though
Beat me to it
Hexbearians are everywhere 🤣
I had a hard time liking this character just because she seemed mostly there to advance the love triange plot and love triangles are so boring to me.
Doubt any of us could really say, as we haven’t spent much time in space.
Any one who has, please speak up.

Full disclosure, I am not an astronaut, nor do I have full context behind the quote. I think that curiosity and exploration would help. Also, warp drive made all those planets a whole lot less lonely
Depends on what we mean by “space”, but IMO this sentiment is much more contemporary than what someone living in the space-based luxury we see from Starfleet would think.
Yes, but only because starships don’t have holodecks yet when this takes place.
CATS. CATS ARE NICE.
That was ONE study, on ONE starship. And the person they questioned was an ANDROID! And the rest of the crew was rolling their eyes the whole time.
Felis Catus
is your taxonomic nomenclature
An endothermic quadruped
carniverous by nature…This sounds so much like Mariner that I’m questioning if it’s a real quote that I’ve forgotten about.
it’s pretty hot anywhere near a star, tho
Love and drugs yeah. I think she is onto something
Someone’s never had garlic bread, I see.
I dunno lady, have you tried sitting in the ships sweet spot?
I dunno, drugs are pretty good at doing that.
What if love is the only thing that transcends the dimensions of space and time?
