Not so much outright bankrupt as close enough to it that they couldn't afford to continue to licence other IPs rather than concentrating on their own IP. Indeed it was that period where they in turn licensed a lot of their best IPs to other companies for media adaptions, a situation which is...

Particularly with the warp coils misaligned and therefore operating below par and no secondary power distribution gird (because Jellico had the gird taken offline for an "all hands" 2-day refit about 51.5hrs, then reassigned 1/3 of the engineering crew to the armory a few hours later, therefore...

Yes, he was under the obligation to do everything he needed to prepare to do it... which he did. But as Jellico was not his superior officer at the time, he was not obliged to implement what he considered to be an appropriate and unwise procedure until after Jellico did have the authority to...

No, it is a suggestion because he's not in command. Note, once that Jellico arrogantly dismisses Riker's concerns after he is in command, Riker immediately impliments the order he has now been given by his commanding officer, despite his reservations. IMO, the fact that Jellico continues to...

Only reason that Riker was "unwilling to engage" was he was slapped down like a first-year cadet when he dared to question the Omniscient and All-Knowing Jellico when he was told by people he had learned to trust and respect that implementing Jellico's first order which he had no authority to...

Except there isn't a time and place for comments on Jellico's ship other than "Yes, sir, that's an absolutely wonderful idea"... even if it's literally increases the risk of loss of life for the crew which his decisions did. His first "large change" was ordered (though couched as a suggestion...

I forgot about that one, but it's broadly similar, they have Wang (Kim) doing double-duty so that they save money on a day player at Tactical.

Given that as of 2023, they're essentially two different sub-brands within the same company, whether both will continue to exist is perhaps debatable, but they seem to make a fair bit of money, so I suspect they'll continue in some form (possibly under the Zuffa branding).

The actual episode title is just "Darmok", "Darmok (and Jalad) at Tanagra" is one of the stories/themes of the episode. One of the best episodes of TNG IMO, "LTBYLB" is good, if rather less subtle and nuanced.

I'd almost argue the opposite actually, as that would give Equinox an "edge" to compensate for their other deficiences.

Particularly if you're moving B'Elanna over, then it would make more sense to promote Tom to First Officer rather than Harry, given that except for a small window of time (which I'm pretty sure doesn't include Equinox) he's already the defacto "third officer" anyway. Harry could still be...

Even if I thought that a better developed Harry would be fit for XO by S6, B'Elanna is the probably the least likely Starfleet main character on the show apart from the EMH to get the command seat. There's a thread in the Fan Fiction board that runs with a variation on that scenario where...

Yeah, I know it's not a popular idea but I wish they'd do something new regardless of the era, like have a show that's primarily based on a planet (which Starfleet Academy could have been, but increasingly seems like it's not going to be).

Why? Troi was promoted because she took on extra responsibilities, Data had exactly the same permanent role for all his appearances as a Lieutenant Commander, even in Chain of Command, Part II where he was Acting First Officer (however, he should have been promoted to Commander if he'd been...

I don't think it made any less sense than Picard though, and arguably more sense than Crusher as she'd pretty much have to have been prompted to at least Captain at Starfleet Medical. Honestly, maybe it's my bias as a Brit where promotions in rank are specifically tied to promotions in role but...

Yeah, I'd've gone with that. Honestly, Data's rank only really makes sense if you assume that he's Second Officer first and his other role second. Yup. However, it should be noted that even IRL there is some overlap between senior enlisted and junior officers in terms of assignments...

Chakotay was already having credibility issues in that scene, it's reasonable IMO to assume that he left out Seven of Nine's contributions due to her presence on Future!Voyager being a complication he really didn't need at that point, so he credited Harry (who as the existing "sensor systems...

He probably helped as he did with many other projects, built it was pretty strongly implied that Seven provided the expertise and did most of the work. Yes. Given that we both see and are told that she does. That's not unusual, and at least we're shown her doing it, Harry's never really...

I'd clarify that to "Ensign to LCDR" is "getting over his skis" without also including an increase in responsibilities either in department size, role or both. Yeah, but that also involved him going from CONN to a Diplomatic Assignment then Ops Department Head role (and Second Officer?) on a...

Which are perfectly normal things for nurses to be doing to this day, particularly the latter in surgical situations. PA level didn't exist back then, so that makes sense. In some ways, though it's more a cause of them showing the potential that the original version wasn't able to so until...
