/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.

My parents died when I was young but they don’t call me Bev the orphan.

I saved my planet with my knowledge of traditional medicine but I’m not Bev the healer.

You fuck one ghost, though.

bev is clearly not blazed enough for those puns.

Jellico still sucks, though.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 17 points 4 days ago

Jellico was right.

Jellico also sucked.

Both are true at the same time.

[–] rozodru@pie.andmc.ca 9 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I'm probably of the minority here but I really liked Jellico. yes he was stern, yes he was strict, but there was just something about him that I liked.

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

He was stern and he was strict. But he was also given an almost impossible task with little time to prepare for it. He's the only federation ship out there and don't know how quickly the situation could break down, so he's obviously need to ship at peak performance, which was an obtainable goal. For whatever his reasoning was, he ordered Riker to do something. But instead of bringing his concerns to Jellico, Riker simply disobeyed the orders to the point of being relieved of duty. But even then, when Jellico needed the best pilot on the ship for the mission, he put his hubris aside and personally asked Will, not ordered, him to do pilot the mission.

Keep in mind, everything about that mission Jellico was correct. Sure he played mind games with the Cardassian attache, got Livingston removed and made Troi wear a proper uniform. He did even show softer sides at time like his son's drawing, and tried to get to know the crew. But it was a tense situation and he did anything he could to be at maximum readiness.

If anything Riker was kinda out of character. He's quick to lash out at his subordinates if they don't obey the chain of command but he was legitimately insubordinate.

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"

I hated him when I first saw it, but over the years I've come to understand where he was coming from better. And he was absolutely right to get rid of that awful outfit Troi wore!

That has layers, like a fine pumpkin spice Oreo

I just see it as everyone tossing around ghost jokes because of Beverly's... ahem... encounter.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

I see the last panel as Blazing Bev rectifiying the problem. hotboxing on the Magellan.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

I can't tell if she's Blazin' in that last panel or going after a ghost.

Is Beverly missing their Combadge in one panel?

[–] jawa22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 days ago

Nah. It's there, just 98% covered by hair. You can see its edge if you zoom in.
