The unnamed alien captain played by Casey Biggs in Damages. Still wonder whatever happened to him. He should have had his chance for revenge.
And of course Martok and Shran.
Wish they coulda met...well, there's always time travel...

I have been remiss in forgetting one of the best guest starship commanders -- the Unnamed Romulan Commander from "Balance of Terror"! As played by Mark Lenard, one of the shrewdest, most likable of all the enemy commanders.
As an aside, I always found it odd that the very first two Romulan Commanders weren't given names -- Joanna Linville was also simply addressed as "Commander" throughout the ep, "The Enteprise Incident." Yet some of their flunkies -- most notably Tal and Decius -- were named.

Also starring Counselor Daphne Moon, slinky sex bomb Chief Medical Officer Roz Doyle, and the captain's crusty dad, Admiral Martin Bateson and his space hound, Eddie!

Someone get the CW on the phone!
Interesting that a lot of the Trek fans I talk to online who are in some way tied to a military or other all love Jellico, and consider him to be the best commanding officer portrayed on TNG, or possibly even on any Trek series.
Ironically, as a civilian through-and-through, I had not quite recognised this when I first saw Chain of Command, but now looking back I see what they are getting at.
But then, a lot of the military people may not like the idea of turning Galaxy-class ships into mobile towns (with families aboard) - though to be fair, Picard was against the idea at the beginning, and never quite warmed up to it that much.
Plus, it's hard to argue when what would seemingly be a logical course of action in many of the dangerous missions the D found itself in (separate the saucer and park it over some out-of-the-way world, or hide it in an asteroid belt at low power, while using the stardrive section to go do the fighting) was quite often ignored.
(For example, would it have been safer for the families aboard in BoBW to transfer command and let the stardrive go and draw the Borg cube away from that nebula? They were clearly after Picard himself, after all...)
But my personal fave guest CO?
Hmm...
I can't really think of one in particular.
Sorry.

the saucer sep effects cost too much for it to be reused.
not only that, she wasn't a starship commander.
Agreed. Another intesting bit of trivia: He's the only officer that appeared on TOS where you can positively identify he has the actual rank of captain, by looking at the rank braid on his sleeves. It's identical to Kirk's. There were other captains not shown, like the named Captain Harrison of the Excalibur in "The Ultimate Computer," and presumabely the captsins of the Hood and Potemkin -- Commodore Wesley was in charge of the Lexington as well as the attack force for the war games. -- RR
Perhaps, after the Xindi threat ended, Starfleet sent a ship back and returned the aliens' warp drive to them? Their course could be easily plotted, and at impulse speeds they couldn't have gotten far.
