Replacing Alara didn’t help, and her PTSD aspect was really the most compelling per of her character. What really turned me off about her was how she could do everything. Need someone who can play 5 dimensional squidgyball? She’s already got her racket. The character was forced with poor writing to complete an arc too quickly. I like what the writers and show runners were trying and all, but the short seasons and long episode format weren’t great for telling that story.
Charly is hated because she looks like a Fox Newz Gurl on the bridge and it’s just too convenient. Her acting is fine but there was no discernible angle there - why? I only found out she was Seth MacFarlane’s girlfriend after the season was over. Then I was like “Oohhhhhhhh. So that’s what that was about”
Burke was a horrible racist and bigot who went against the entire point of the academy. If I can see her as an awful bigot, in her futuristic society she must have been the equivalent of a klan member. She was a horrible person through her entire existence and we’re supposed to like her cause she redeemed herself in the last 10 seconds? Nah she sucks. Also she wasn’t really a proper character, just a racist Alara clone
In all fairness alot of it stemmed from the fact she watched her partner die after they were betrayed by a supposedly ally - trust from that wouldn’t come back quickly.
Would have liked to see the series carry on a bit more though
Why is Charly Burke hated? Because she replaced Alara?

I get that. But if she’s that compromised, she should never have been on active duty and serving alongside the race she was prejudice against.
Extention level threat, qualified officer, not injured who can serve. Predjiced against said event.
100% would be allowed to stay.
Me too!
But I understand why the writers had a hard time justifying Kira killing Keiko in cold blood.
