aka. Jett Reno's Best Moments in Star Trek: Discovery seasons 2 and 3. Support me on Patreon! / andrearitsu Read my blog! andrearitsu.com/ Follow me on Twitter! / feoultima
Stranded in a crippled ship with critically wounded crewmates and no Doctor. She then treats the injuries as an engineering problem and keeps them alive for 10 months until rescued. If there is a Starfleet officer more deserving of a citation for courage and "original thinking" than Jett Reno, I haven't seen them out there.
I'd be tempted to throw Jett Reno into Medical Training (to be an MD) immediately, just to have the extra experience/perspective. Would make her even more of a kick-ass engineer and she's got the battlefield experience already.
@@StinkyGreenBud With that attitude she should have been a Chief Warrant Officer, not a Commissioned Officer. In the US Navy, no one messes with a CWO... they're snarked to everyone, including the CO.
@@johnpauljones9310 They may have promoted her as punishment for being a smartass. Starfleet has a history of doing that. Example: Freeman promoting her daughter Ensign Mariner, to Lieutenant and the Ship's Senior Staff. ...hell, pretty sure O'Brien has been threatened a few times with a Commission. Picard has been threatened with promotion to Flag Staff...and Riker wasn't keen on getting his own captaincy for a long time, despite pressure from up top. In fact, Starfleet has a habit of doing the opposite as well: Kirk's "demotion" to Fleet Captain for stealing the Enterprise and going to Genesis was a welcome break from his semi-retirement as an Admiral. Kirk himself, also "punished" Scotty once for starting a diplomatic incident and barfight with Klingons, by cancelling his "forced" leave and remanding him to quarters for the length of stay...where he had wanted to spend time with his beloved Technical journals in the first place. ...oh, and Mariner's frequent demotions back to ensign and junior officer status through out her career (such as the case with the most recent Lieutenant-ship, ended over making fun of an Admiral with a lisp), puts her right back where she does her best work. I think it's secretly the Starfleet Department of Personnel's way of fine tuning were each person feels the most comfortable and does their best work. "Huh, they don't seem to be challenged enough and are too unprofessional...let's feed 'em more responsibility and maybe a desk-job...what? They're now miserable and hate everything, but are also still incredible confident? Whoops, we over promoted, but their recent behaviour provides the best solution...UNO-reverso!"

Space Hitler was definitely the best character on the show, just for how eminently hateable she was. Characters are supposed to make you feel something, and she was the most effective at making you feel the loathing the writers clearly intended her to inspire, much like Stormfront from season 2 of The Boys. But, while I was very glad to see Stormfront get beaten to death, losing Georgiou the way they did was far less satisfying. She should have had a violent death emblematic of the life of violence she lived.
This scene wasn’t funny and if anything, it proved that she should’ve been thrown out into the airlock and released into outer space where she belongs.
As someone on disability, learning to use a powered wheelchair, this is how I get by. Physiotherapy is where you learn to cover the screams with a pleasant facial expression.
"I can fix that with Duct Tape, if ya want"! YES! As long as we have sarcasm, gum, duct tape, and irony our species is going to do okay. As for the mycelia, give me a call when they cap and I'll show you how to fly this bucket.
What is an orthopedic surgeon? A carpenter. What is a neurologist? An electrician. What is a urologist? A plumber. All specialties have an analogous trade.
My favorite line is "You don't know me Doc, I'm uninsultable." Absolutely correct! I love the deadpanned-ness of her character and at the same time sending out such fantastic barbs.
The barbs are artistic, but the fact that she can see truths and speak directly and blunty to what she sees (and have other people not like it but respect it) is her true gift.
Anyone who works in a life-or-death environment tends to lean that way. My friends include several SF (US Special Forces) operators, several USCG SAR pilots, vets of the 82nd Abn, an retired Army Ranger, ER nurses, some Canadians that did stints inside and outside the wires (including hard contacts), a close friend (Lieutenant-Commander in RCN Reserve) who did disaster response in Haiti and the Philipines, USN Commander (likely Captain by now) who ran a Jervis-Bay class high-speed cargo catamaran around the Gulf from Galveston to New Orleans and who did assessments and transfer of goods for Katrina response. One of my SF buddies has been a major part in setting up CT's wearhousing system for Covid-19 supplies and the supply pipeline for the hospitals in CT. My mom was a nurse for 40 years, from a new RN to being head of nursing and also acting CEO and CFO of a 200 bed hospital in Northern Ontario (and she came of age in the ERs of Motherwell after the soccer fights - lots of patching people up). And she wouldn't take cr*p from anyone. All these people have a couple of common traits: * They don't have time to screw around so no time for diplomacy or evasion - you tell it as it is and you make the calls you have to even if they are hard and could blow back on you later from some couch quarterback after the fact. * They aren't scared of much because they couldn't do their jobs if they didn't decouple their own emotional responses for the duration of a crisis. * They don't suffer idiots to any great degree because they know that threatens the mission they're engaged in at any given moment. * They don't mind people giving them back truth and hard, honest facts. That's respect and its also information that can improve decisions. * All of these people are in the sorts of work where they do not have the luxury to put off decisions nor to be wishy-washy about them. They don't have the freedom to pass the buck nor do they ever get enough information that they can be sure their course is going to be a winner. They learn ways to minimize risk in situations of limited knowledge and an immediate decision is required and they do those steps and they what they are left with is still a call and they have the stones to make it and accept accountability later if something goes side-wise. My mom once told an obnoxious drunk with a criminal record in her ER with his eyeball hanging out by the stuff that attaches at the back of the eyeball. He was cursing and my mom didn't take that. She told him he'd better shut his mouth and let her do her job or she'd wash his mouth out with soap and THEN she'd put his eyeball back into the socket, but she pointed out if he shut up and she got to work, the odds of saving his eyesight were better. He shut his yap. The OPP officer who caught the back end of that exchange was whistling. He told my mom after that she took a big risk because the patient had a history of violence. Mom's response was 'I don't care. NOBODY talks to me like that.' Mom was the same person who took the keys off of a drunk thick bar (General) when she was a Flight Nurse (Lieutenant) in the RCAF. The General was paralytic with booze so she would not return his keys and got him a cab. He called her many things that were not very gentlemanly. The next day, working at National Defense Medical Center in Ottawa, she got called in by the head of Nursing and she was queried about what happened. She thought she was cooked. But the general called and had realized the next morning how drunk he had been and he wanted to apologize and thank the Nurse, but he was too drunk to recall her name but he DID know she had a Scottish accent. That pretty much narrowed it down to one nurse at NDMC at the time. Same woman stood between a drunken Miltiary doctor in Northern Quebec when he showed up drunk to a birth. Mom had been a midwife (a post R.N. position in UK then) and she had delivered hundreds or thousands of babies over her years working in that line of work. She wouldn't let the doctor anywhere near the woman who was giving berth. He threatened all manner of stuff, but my mom didn't blink. He was released from the Canadian Forces and lost his doctor's license. People like that just don't have time for polishing up the truth or avoiding it. They need info true and fast (what there is) and then they need to get on with solving the problem with what they think they know and what their training tells them is the best way forward.
If anyone acts like this in real life. It’s time to put them down. The actress playing Jett Reno sucks and the character sucks. Does your coworker “sass” their boss? By sass, I mean being a dick and swearing while working.
@@alternative915 ???? Yes. It's just a TOS style one. The warp core is the big red glowing room in the back just glassed off instead of grated off as in TOS.
@@parrot998 The one with the spore drive?, no those are engineering lab, + you dont see any chief engineer around, jett reno isn't chief when aboard the discovery
@@alternative915 She seems to be as of season 3. Since there was a senior staff dinner and there was no one we haven't seen. Not to mention she calls them HER engines... But that asside, it is Engineering, AND an engineering lab, because it is an experimental vessel. Where would you have an engineering lab on a starship for field testing experimental prepulsion than engineering??? We also saw a warp core that looks identical to discovery's in Season 2 when Pike saw his fate. And Adira commented on it being an odd engineering setup when the United Earth Defense Force was searching Discovery.

Please god, tell me that you’re joking. They’re the unfunniest losers in the entire show. If there’s a season 4, I’ll burn everything and make sure that there’s nothing left.
Whenever Jett Reno isn't on screen, all I'm asking is 'where is Jett Reno?' and 'how long until we see Jett Reno again?' Seriously, thanks for uploading this. Her character is SOOO underrated.
I think that's a matter of comparison: She's not that great, buit not as flat as the rest. But transplant her into real star trek and compare... she certainly is Barclay-Material. It's not that she's so outstanding, the rest of them are just so shit.

As an engineer by trade, you understand the mentality of working alone for years, and hating to work with idiots. And no you can't fix that analogy with duct tape.
Dealing with complex systems day to day to the point that you know it better than pretty much everybody on-site, and usually because they don't want to pay for additional help again leading to you being the only one who knows the system intimately...usually, it's not unjustified to feel like and know your all that when it comes to said system.
Nah, she could've fixed that analogy with duct tape.... strategically placed duct tape overtop of S's mouth. ;) Granted, Tilly would have protected him so he was safe.
People who have long careers in the sciences (or are insanely gifted from the getgo) usually lack the typical decorum for idiots. I don't have time to engage in a battle of wits with unarmed opponents.
"And no you can't fix that analogy with duct tape." ...that doesn't mean you're not going to at least try though, right? XD Also...Duct Tape not being able to fix something? In Canada, we call that very premise to be outright HERESY and it's punishble by shot out of a military-grade Chicken Cannon into hellish exile in the small town of Dog River, Saskatchewan. Truly, our most gruesome of judicial outcomes.
13:12 to 13:24 I LOVE how Reno somehow knows Georgiou is Terran, and questions that anyone whose met her thinks she'd "Help" without some benefit to herself.
Jett Reno honestly is one of my favorite crew members because she’s such a smart ass all the time keeps the episodes she’s in nice and spicy all the time
Out of all of the characters on Discovery, Reno is my favorite! 💗 She's comically gifted and she always cracks me up...she is so gutsy and crass *but* she always gets the job done!! 😎

Her talk to Hugh was great. Her and Stamets just go at each other but she cares about his wellbeing and happiness so goes to Hugh to tell him to not screw it up.
@@lakjun1 He was a genius but he was terrible at utilizing his genius. He always needed help and he was bad at explaining what he wanted so he had trouble getting the help. Reno doesn't need help and has no problems explaining what she's doing or what she needs. His self esteem wasn't that bad as he was thoroughly convinced that he was smarter than everyone about everything.
One of the few things I like about this show. They really need to just make her a main cast member already. Enough of this randomly showing up whenever the writers deign to include her.
@@sweetsucculentcontentnectar Yeah, Tig is busy. And she likes doing the show, but has a terrible time with the technobabble. So she is very happy keeping her appearances limited. Plus, even though I love Reno, the deadpan would get old with too much exposure. Like the Doctor on Voyager, as his role grew, his deadpan personality changed to the point where, by the time he was on screen with Zimmerman, you could see how much more soft-edged his personality had become.
Torres and Geordi didn't do the impossible, they just did the possible really well. Scotty lied about what was possible so he could claim to have done the impossible. Tucker probably has the best claim to the title: he was working in a time when nobody quite knew what was possible and what wasn't, and he could definitely push those boundaries.
Jett Reno. :) Tig Notaro. LOL I just smile knowing she is the character that the Star Trek universe never had, never thought it needed but will never be the same again without her! Love her comedic, dead pan humor. And though others write these things, her delivery is what makes it happen.
Every time I see Jett Reno (Tig notaro) it light up the show. Her dryness of humor, damn... Als so in army of the dead. She played it so well (she replaced someone els after they shoot the whole movie, she had to play the roll so perfectly, and without ever met the cast. So they could digitally replace the actor for her. Also Tig Notaro is a strong woman after battling breast cancer..

Thanks for making this. Just saw it for the first time. How great was this. One of my favorite characters of all time. Such otherworldly funny and intelligent sarcasm. Laughed my butt off. Thanks again.
I really think Jett Reno is gonna be a classic iconic character, Tig Notaro's deadpan "been there, done that" just invents a new persona that has so much onscreen charisma, I can see her with a spinoff.
OK Jett, can we shake your hand or not? First she won't, then it's "relax, it's good for ya". That's the writing not the actor, I know. Jett Reno's my favorite Star Trek engineer. Ever.
