/c/TenFoward: 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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 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. 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' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.

He also tried to shut down the Stargate program. Total turd.

Not to mention running an air and turbinium monopoly on Mars.

Don’t forget, he and Dukat go way back-- even the Voyager EMH was there as a primitive taxi AI

Thor sure put him in his place though. You don't get over being embarrassed in front of the foreign representatives by the Supreme☝🏻 Commander of the entire asgard fleet.

That was such a great scene

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah but he also lied his ass off to his own police chief to protect Axel Foley right after magdumping into a billionaire

But he killed Bob Morton because he made a mistake, then he tried to erase that mistake.

Did Jellico help whip the crew into a more serious shape, one they so desperately needed since nobody seemed to care about the incoming borg or other threats the show didn't seem to take seriously? Did he put data in command instead of ops, where data should probably spend 1/3 of his time? Did he basically just do his job, which was serving in STARFLEET, not under Picard?

All yes.

Is he an insufferable asshole, borderline incompetent in the HR department, and generally a dick about how he goes about his business?

Also yes.

He's neutral to me. Because ultimately he isn't good or bad, he was just doing his job. He didn't have the time to ease into things like he probably would have preferred, he was given command and shoved into the fray.

He got Troi to wear a proper uniform, so I'd say overall, positive.

This isn’t the cut and dry yes you think. Starfleet is a military organization. Jellico was perfectly reasonable, possibly even downright pleasant, as the captain of the ship. He is the commanding officer. Junior officers do not need to know his every thought and rationale for every order. The commander sets the tone and expectations for his crew. Jellico wasn’t Picard. Didn’t make him an asshole, just not the same command philosophy.

Jellico did nothing wrong, and Riker whining about change the whole time was unbecoming of a Starfleet officer.

He even fuckin puts Data in command where he belongs.

The best captain Starfleet ever had. The second-most important person in Starfleet history.

I will die on this hill.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I very much disagree, but i'd love to know why you think that.

[–] FlyingSquid 3 points 8 months ago

Dude stared down the entire Cardassian fleet and made Troi wear a real uniform.
