258: Get It Done

Captain Jellico.
 
Captain Edward Jellico comes in like a whirlwind in the season 6
"Chain of Command" two-parter of The Next Generation to take
command of the Enterprise-D during an important confrontation
with the Cardassians. Jellico moves to implement a number of
changes very quickly that leads to conflict with the crew,
especially Commander Riker. What do we think of Jellico's command
style, his effectiveness, and how the crew reacts to him?



In this episode of Earl Grey, hosts Richard Marquez and Justin
Oser are joined by guest Ken Tripp of Standard Orbit to talk
about their thoughts on Captain Jellico and his appearances in
The Next Generation episodes "Chain of Command: Part I" and
"Chain of Command: Part II." Topics discussed include a
comparison between the command styles of Captain Jellico and
Captain Picard, Jellico's effectiveness, the resistance that he
receives from the crew,  and his working relationship with
his two first officer, Riker and Data.
