And Jellico was the one who flouted the chain-of-command by dangerously and arrogantly assuming that he knew how to get the best out of a ship and crew that he had zero practical experience with and no interest in learning.
Being given the opportunity to present their case and have it heard...
You do realise the next thing that happens after "being relieved from duty" for a senior officer like Riker who is in the bad books of a flag officer (Necheyev) unless it's reversed* is being dismissed from the service right or forced into retirement, right? That's very public and final.
OTOH...
Which is why while Jellico was arguably right to ignore Riker's "demand" and I'd even go for a formal reprimand for his insubordinate way of presenting his opinion, relieving him of duty was inappropriate and over-the-top, particularly given that Jellico should have been violating enough...
My assumption has always been that Chakotay had the option to fully reinstated (for the same reason as Paris), but chose to accept a Provisional Commission instead out of solidarity with "his crew".
Only after several days of Jellico disrespecting and dismissing him at every turn, while he was dangerously overworking the Engineering Department, and possibly other sections as well.
The first time Riker was actually defiant/insubordinate was when he insisted that Starfleet acknowledge that...
Which is why the Jeremy Brett series is my favourite "classic" Holmes.
Though ironically despite the Cumberbatch/Freeman version doing a good job of this aspect, it's probably my least favourite of the three "main" adaptions from that era (IMO, the Downey/Law version gets points for leaning...
Fifty years prior would been 2351, which we know nothing about.
That said, even as a tribute to ENT, then reusing Federation Day would have been better as that would also call back to TNG and the 240th Anniversary of a famous event is as good or better than the 250th Anniversary of a more...
There are some shift systems that change the time of day that personnel stand each day (though neither of the systems in play appear to) but pretty much every shift system that has teams at all (which starship crews would need to) keeps all but the most senior officers on the same team for...
Even with legitimate concerns, "time and place" still applies... he's messing around with the crew in potentially very dangerous ways at a time when they most need to present a strong, united front.
Again, there are right and wrong ways of addressing that and right and wrong times to do so...
My take isn't so much that he "made the crew work hard" as he didn't work with the crew so that they worked as smartly and efficiently as possible which is always the best place to start IMO.
Which is the kind of thing that could have been discussed during the discussion/briefing about the impact that Riker expected/wanted to have during their first senior staff meeting shorting after the command transfer.
Yes, he does.
We also see another example of a similar thing with Deanna...
I would suggest that any shift pattern that has the majority of its shifts in a "different day" makes zero sense from a time management PoV.
A more logically plausible set up based on the above timings would be: Alpha starts at 0300; Beta at 0900; Gamma at 1500 and Delta at 2100 and presumably...
It's not perfect, but there isn't really a better three-letter abbreviation available.
ACA would make sense if the title was Star Trek: Academy but IMO doesn't make sense for the two word title and let's face it it's pretty common in the fandom to use SF as an abbreviation for Starfleet...
Only those two were ever seen but a Dr Sanchez (a pathologist?) was also mentioned in That Which Survives.
And a number of unnamed background "blue shirts" likely either nurses or "medical technicans".
Also Dr Selar as far as "on screen" doctors. A Dr Richard Hill (specialising in...
Well, he is the only non-"blue shirt" cast member that we know has any kind of medical training (roughly to EMT level, including emergency childbirth!), so there's that.
Pretty much. We know that he spend between 2333 and 2355 in command of the Stargazer (which means he was a Captain by title...
IMO, the reverse is more likely. McFadden leaving and then them having to spend time in the reduced number of episodes introducing and establishing Muldaur as her replacement essentially doomed any possibility of Crosby getting any extra screentime, whereas if McFadden had stayed, then it's...
Perhaps it's wishful thinking, but I kinda assume that the Eagle is an Oberth-class (the Oberth itself was part of the "back-up" shown only on the unscreened fourth page) given the similarity of number to the Grissom, and on the same basis the Ahwahnee, Challlenger and the Korolev plausibly...
