Well, we have: Regulation 191 (Article 14): In a combat situation involving more than one ship, command fell to the vessel with tactical superiority, should there not be a higher ranking officer present. Given that Picard also has decades of experience as a commanding officer and has been...

True, though no more than one or at most two levels would be pretty unusual outside of explicitly temporary appointments in an emergency. Given that he was reporting to a three-pip Admiral and the only other example of someone who could be in that role who we see canonically is a Commodore...

There's a certain amount of ambiguity about the issue, but originally the organisation (or at least the management authority of it) was the Surgeon-General's Office, and a couple of the more specific references to "Starfleet Medical" in "BermanTrek" suggested that at least some of the time it...

Well, a version of the four-shift system may have endured, though it should be noted that only Alpha and Gamma shifts not Delta were actually mentioned and Jellico's Delta Shift ran from 15:00 to 23:00, giving an even more ridiculous start time of 23:00 for Alpha Shift (whereas Gamma Shift could...

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.

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.

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...

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