    Retroactive justification for Riker's friction towards Jellico?

    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...

    Retroactive justification for Riker's friction towards Jellico?

    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...

    Retroactive justification for Riker's friction towards Jellico?

    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...

    Why Didn't Harry Get Promoted?

    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".

    Retroactive justification for Riker's friction towards Jellico?

    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...

    Spoilers WATSON: New Sherlock Holmes-based series on CBS

    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...

    What's your personal headcanon for your favourite TV series, movies etc?

    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...

    Retroactive justification for Riker's friction towards Jellico?

    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...

    Retroactive justification for Riker's friction towards Jellico?

    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...

    Retroactive justification for Riker's friction towards Jellico?

    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.

    Retroactive justification for Riker's friction towards Jellico?

    He appears to have been right about the Cardassians (and the politics of the mission in general) but he was wrong about the Enterprise and its crew.

    Retroactive justification for Riker's friction towards Jellico?

    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...

    Retroactive justification for Riker's friction towards Jellico?

    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...

    What are the abbreviations for shows?

    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...

    Why Didn't Harry Get Promoted?

    Either that or he should have remained as Ross' Chief of Staff/Fleet Captain and Ross should have commanded the fleet.

    Why Starfleet crews look the same?

    Doctor Martin, played by Rick Fitts.

    Why Starfleet crews look the same?

    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...

    Keeping Tasha

    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...

    Keeping Tasha

    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...

    That Starbase 11 wall chart - noe in slide form

    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...
