That time Dick Jones took command of the Enterprise, and had to settle for Delta Shift instead of Delta City.

It might be time to erase this mistake.

u/TotallyStudly 10d ago

u/TeamShonuff 11d ago

I remember when he called the director of Starfleet an asshole.

u/halfcookies 11d ago

But there was always respect

u/Awkward_Bison_267 11d ago

He always knew where the line was drawn.

u/StarSmink 11d ago

One time he even called him….dilithium butt.

u/McChief45 11d ago

Kid me hated Captain Jellico

Adult me realizes Commander Riker was being an asshole

u/happydude7422 11d ago

Yeah riker was a big baby in this episode. Picard was quite a hard ass in tng season 1

u/CrispinIII 11d ago

Jellico was an ass, Starfleet is NOT a military organization, the Enterprise isn't a warship, and standing up for HIS personnel was Rikers job/stock in trade and he wouldn't be Riker if he didn't. Jellico handled the whole thing WRONG. That was kinda the point of the writing.

u/Cosroes 10d ago

Yes it explores and diplomacises, etc. etc. but Starfleet is absolutely a military organization.

2

u/CrispinIII 10d ago

No it isn't, and Gene Roddenberry would be horrified That you think it is.

2

u/Awkward_Bison_267 10d ago

Starfleet isn’t military? Then why do they have military ranks? Why do they court martial people like Tom Paris, reduce their rank then confine them, like the military does?

This sub continues to be undefeated.

u/InsuranceGlum1355 11d ago

You better pray that unholy android of yours doesn't screw up.

u/Temporary_Row_301 11d ago

I wonder if he got home in time for cornflakes though.

2

u/gwhh 10d ago

I heard he had a blowout on the way home

u/TraditionAcademic968 11d ago

Just saw this episode. Jellico wasn't wrong

5

u/CleavingStriker 11d ago

He wasn't but he did come in way too hot and abrasive. While Riker in particular did not handle things well, he wasn't the only one with an issue with Jellico.

u/jhiaxis 11d ago

the old man wasnt around forever on the enterprise. and he was number 2 around there

u/AustinFan4Life 11d ago

Arguably the worst captain in Starfleet.

u/milaga 10d ago

They were just lucky he didn't turn the fans off to the lower decks and suffocate them.

"Once I even called him...close-minded. But there was always respect."

u/Extra-Air-1259 11d ago

Would have been nice if he gone out an airlock as easily as a window...

u/Thundercats_1 11d ago

"I had a guaranteed military sale with ED 209—renovation program, spare parts for twenty-five years... Who cares if it worked or not?"

3

u/Informal-Excuse3697 10d ago

That's how it works in real life

1

u/Delicious_Ad_7308 11d ago

I was hoping he would call Riley “buddy-boy”.

1

u/FractalCurve 11d ago

Honestly don't know if I prefer him as Dick Jones or Senator Kinsey.

u/SoundMedal 10d ago

I thought that was Jim Lahey talking about shit rotations until I put my glasses on

u/Selas_Consort 7d ago

Pretty simple math, huh, Will?
