You know how you go to your favorite bar, your local bartender isn’t there.
You ask, “Where’s Stamets?”
“Stamet’s no longer works here. I’m ummthatguy.”
And you’re thinking “Hey who’s this idiot? I like Stamets.”
But you still want your drink. And even though ummthatguy doesn’t mix your drink the same way you’re used to, like Stamets, you still like the bar. You don’t have to go to a different bar. And even ummthatguy might feel kinda bad because Stamets trained him. Stamets showed him how to work the cash register, where the tonic was on the soda gun, who tips, who doesn’t.
Stamets is the SNL Weekend Update Norm Macdonald to my Colin Quinn.

Nah, just a regular who kept sneaking behind the bar to make my own drinks. Guess they figured “Why fight it?” and had me start helping out.
Like that tribble trader when that Klingon insulted the Enterprise. He started pushing buttons, worked out fiiine.
