They're supposed to be astronauts, explorers and somewhat militaristic. There should be at least a few characters on the ship who are confident and emotionally controlled. Instead we have a whole bunch of characters who have to be told "that's an order" because they're constantly questioning their superior officers.

This.
And I'm not the guy that complains about the "crying" in the show. Emotion is fine, dramatics are good for story telling. But dramatic whispering and longing voices in EVERY.SINGLE.SCENE is bad TV.
Like you said, these are basically soldiers. Yes Starfleet is basically the military branch of the Federation. And before anyone says otherwise, these characters are supposed to be from the 2250s when that was true more than any other point in history.
It was a decent episode for what it's worth.
But why did Michael Jesus have a vote at the council. She's the Federation representative all of a sudden? Jesus gets a vote and the President of the UFP has to remain impartial? And why do non-members get a vote? Why didn't Book get a vote then as he was observing? Why didn't he just bring a bunch of people and stack the vote?
