In her defense, an air force captain is not the same rank as a captain in the Navy, which the starfleet ranks are based on. She'd be like a lieutenant commander in starfleet. So I think she'd fit right in.
"He tasks me. He tasks me and I shall have him! I'll chase him 'round the islands of French Guiana and 'round the Suriname Maelstrom and 'round perdition's flames before I give him up!"
NO. That is a RIGHT ANSWER, sir. He was a great Captain, playing the terrible hand he was dealt and doing a remarkable job. A half-finished ship plagued by a mismanaged shipyard's scheduling errors and delays? A skeleton crew? A scheduled shakedown cruise that somehow couldn't be rescheduled? The most famous captain in Starfleet's history aboard? The stunt assignment of a nepo baby helm officer to coincide with that VIP? The fleet monumentally mis-deployed, leaving no backup within range of the capital world of the Federation? A once-in-a-lifetime anomaly threatens some refugees right at that exact moment? And all of this happens while he's got dozens of civilian journalists aboard, documenting the whole thing?
You couldn't stack the deck against a Captain that hard if you tried, unless you made part of the missing crew the entire medical staff-- NO WAIT THEY WERE, AND A RETIRED GUNNER HAD TO BE THE MEDIC. Okay then, how about unless you...I dunno, brought the Borg into the equation and OH WAIT, THAT'S EXACTLY WHY THE EL-AURIANS WERE REFUGEES IN THE FIRST PLACE
It was a miracle that he got anyone off those transport ships, and that the 1701-B made it out losing only one crew member. It was yet another stroke of bad luck that the casualty in question happened to be Kirk.
Harriman was a great Captain and a hero to the fleet. He got lucky in only two ways during that mission: that the VIPs aboard for the trip happened to be highly capable, well-trained leaders willing to roll up their sleeves when they needed to, and that the nepo baby helm officer just happened to also be an excellent pilot.
I feel for the man. He was really dealt a bad hand and he had the maturity to swallow his own pride when he realized that there were people on board that could handle the situation way better than him.
During international family movie night a few weeks ago I surprised everyone with this movie as the second part of a double feature. Everyone loved it. SPACE HERPES FTW
I hate Jellico for his brunt nature and lack of charisma.
But he is ABSOLUTELY what the Enterprise needed.
The atmosphere on the ship was very much still Golden Age of Exploration "ooh look at the fancy new aliens, let's go to that dark corner of space and poke about!" type of un-serious.
Not that anyone took their job lightly, or wasn't right for the ship/starfleet. It's just the general attitude of the crew wasn't that danger could be waiting at the other end of their warp jump, and they weren't ready for the old powers of the galaxy.
Jellico got things moving in the right direction, especially given we had already encountered the Borg. The dominion were on their way even if we didn't know it. A single ship controlled by the Borg could absolutely wreck starfleet, imagine what the Voth could do if they wanted to full force fuck the federation up.
And Troi really needed to wear a proper uniform. (obligatory FUCK Rick Berman)
Jelico wasn't a bad captain because of what he did. he's a bad captain because of how and why he did it.
remember, the whole reason that he was assigned to the Enterprise by Admiral Bitchqueen was because he convinced her that Ryker was too unprofessional to handle a mission of that severity. Which, he fucked up pretty badly. One has to wonder, though, if it might not have been better to send Cairo, instead of the enterprise while they dealt with their captain who had been taken prisoner by the Cardassians. or even better, have sent Jelico and Cairo on the covert mission while Enterprise did the diplomatic thing (which was kinda their job anyway. They're basically a mobile embassy armed up like a battleship. exploration just happened when there was nothing else to do.)
I don't think the change in starfleet's culture was all on Jelico. It's incredibly difficult to change culture like that- even on a single ship. Genuine leaders know this and, in the place of a short term command, they don't even try. They change themselves to fit and operate in that cultural framework.
While Jelico may have been technically correct on a lot of things, and people can go round and round arguing about four shift or three shift crew rotations, the reality is that he was going to be be there for a few days and Picard had things the way he wanted, and would presumably change them back. Any half-baked leader would know that it takes time to make the kind of changes he was instituting. Just for the crew shift rotations alone, that would take a month or more before the circadian rhythms of the crew weren't feeling out of whack and they were back to peak. Doing it when you know you're likely to be going into battle in the next few days is asinine.
Further, he didn't communicate with the crew. They didn't feel the urgency he felt, or the need to be "peak" because, frankly, he didn't tell them shit. he told them what to do and expected them to do it, even though his officers on the Enterprise are themselves qualified as commanding officers and highly experienced (both in combat and in tense diplomatic negotiations. Again, the Enterprise was Starfleet's diplomatic flagship.) So that lack of urgency in their prep was more Jelico's fault than the crew's fault.
he was like that all over the place. Dismissive of Troi's suggestions and advice in handling Ryker and the rest of the crew, dismissive of Ryker's advice, of everyone's advice. He didn't trust them to make decisions and was implementing bullshit changes without explanation or even a reasonable timeframe to get it done.
Which only served to alienate the crew.
The crew was expecting to go into a tense diplomatic negotiations with. The crew that he was ignoring despite this exact thing literally being their exact area of expertise within starfleet. He's an idiot and shouldn't be in charge of an automated replimat, never mind a captain (and what the fuck? they made him an admiral?!)
yeah he was technically right about the uniform, but that conversation could have gone much, much differently. ("I understand that as ship's counselor, you want to keep things casual and comfortable, but you're not just a ship's counselor. You're a vital diplomatic aide, and I need you to look the part. Not because I'm being a jackass, but because it's important we project professionalism and unity.") (seriously. he was an ass in that conversation.)
oh really? i wasn't aware the ship needed someone to fuck up the ship, on both the personal and technical level, just before that important encounter he claimed he was preparing for.
jellico was incompetent moron who tried to mask it by badly played confidence and the episode was classic "they didn't know how good they had it until they lost it".
the fact someone thinks that guy is good captain is always mind-blowing to me.
Martin Landau and Barbara Bain in Space: 1999, the show that answers the question what happens if you make a show almost entirely out of the weird episodes from Star Trek TOS.
heh just started watching this again for whatever streaming it's on for Canada now. And since the garage it crashed into wasn't obliterated must be a single person craft. So yes, Alf is technically a captain, like invader Zim is a conquerer I imagine.

Martin Landau and Barbara Bain in Space: 1999, the show that answers the question what happens if you make a show almost entirely out of the weird episodes from Star Trek TOS.

Alf was the only one on the craft that brought him to Earth, right? Captain.
orbitz@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 51d
heh just started watching this again for whatever streaming it's on for Canada now. And since the garage it crashed into wasn't obliterated must be a single person craft. So yes, Alf is technically a captain, like invader Zim is a conquerer I imagine.
