I’m halfway with you. I thought it was cute the first time they did it. It suited Saru’s character to be stressing out over something so unimportant.
But then they brought it up again in Picard and again in SNW, and now it seems like everyone in starfleet is super invested in their captains’ incidental verbal ticks. The joke worked once and once only, but they keep going back to it.
Worst part is, they clearly think this kills at a fundamental level. They even ended Lower Decks on that gag. They had a good one, but it was still a bummer.
Ah, yeah, I forgot Lower Decks used it, too. It’s really weird - like watching your coworkers speculating about what your new boss’ email sign off is going to be.

Yep, that’s not halfway, that’s my take, too.

Riker on the Titan’s “5, 6, 7, 8…” for going to warp was funny. The gag with Ransom was just awkward.
