TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

the thing about Jellico, that I don't like is that he came into an established organizational structure and started changing it.
Was he right? maybe. Sure. A lot of the changes he made, though weren't necessarily right or wrong... they were different ways of being a leader. Should the senior officers adapted to Jellico? absolutely. But Jellico should have also adapted to the organizational structure he found himself in.
Troi's uniform, for example... he was right she should have been in a standard uniform... but his manner about expressing that was off. Partiularly as a temporary CO coming in as a substitute for Picard, because starfleet- probably at his recommendation- determined Ryker was unqualified. (and yes. Ryker was being a salty jackass.)
His command of the D was on the order of days; and the changes he would make would take weeks to adjust to- and probably didn't even get figured out before Jellico left.
Even if it wasn't because he wanted to flex on the command staff, it's still stupid and indicative that he had no understanding of the existing organizational structure on the D. And any leader who comes into an established structure and starts demanding changes without understanding that structure is a bad leader. ESPECIALLY when their leadership is at best temporary.
As far as the mission goes, yes. 100% he was right. but his leadership skills were still on the level of "Terrible retail manager"
