Well, I think that Jellico would have shaken things up a bit, at least that’s how I would have hoped they would write him.
He said his goodbye on enterprise and walked off of the bridge to silence. No redemption there, but I’d rather have seen him as a good guy, somehow, appreciated.
Is he better than Picard? We can’t really know, since we only saw him in two episodes. I know that Patrick Stewart really carried his weight. I think that Ronny Cox was doing a few guest spots in TV in the early to mid nineties. I always wished we’d seen more of him.
