It's always interesting to meet a captain of another ship (Jellico, Maxwell, DeSoto, Sanders, Ransom, Decker, Garrett, Hernandez), since they're usually going to have a different style of command than the usual captain. Not necessarily better or worse, just different. From what I've read, that's what the Chain of Command writers were going for with Jellico. He definitely wasn't meant to be a BAD captain, just a different one.

SUR LE PONT, D'AVIGNON, ON Y DANSE!

@FutureNewsAnchor Riker was supposed to support JELLICO, not Picard, since Jellico was RIker's commanding officer. Jellico was a bit rougher on the crew than Picard, but that's his right as Captain. Riker wasn't doing his job, so he got reassigned. If he had punched Jellico, he'd have spent the mission in the brig, then likely been discharged from Starfleet. Jellico didn't show more compassion or Picard because he was trying to stop a war, not save one man. Needs of the many.

@jerryfos785 It's from 1984 by George Orwell, where O'Brian asserts that he is holding up five fingers, when he is in fact only holding up four, because his will is that of the Party, and the Party's will is the determination of Truth.

I always thought David Warner's Cardassian was one of the greatest Star Trek villains ever, almost as good as Khan. It's a shame he wasn't brought back, especially for one of the TNG films.

Jellico was such an asshole in this episode. All Riker did was support Picard, but Jellico spit in his face, demoted him to engineering with Geordi, and promoted Data to second-in-command. Why didn't Riker punch Jellico in the face, and, furthermore, why didn't Jellico exhibit more compassion to Picard?

Ronny Cox is usually a complete wanker in most things, still like him though I must say.

[SPeacock]

@1ownjoo2 Just like in the infamous Room 101 and 2 + 2 = 5 sequences in George Orwell's novel 1984.
