Earl Grey 91: Fake It 'Til You Make It

Command Styles.

When it comes to command, Captain Jean-Luc Picard is the pinnacle
of Starfleet captains. However, many times in The Next
Generation, Picard and his first officer Will Riker turn over
command to other members of their crew. Phillip, Daniel, and
Darren analyze the command styles of the other personnel who sat
in the center seat of the U.S.S. Enterprise, and other
starships, during various missions. 

They study second officer Lt. Commander Data's command tenure on
both theEnterprise and
the Sutherland ("Redemption, Part 2" and "Gambit, Parts
1 and 2"), Commander Beverly Crusher's time in the captain's
chair ("Descent, Parts 1 and 2" and "All Good Things..."), Lt.
Commander Deanna Troi's turn in command ("Disaster"), and
Lieutenant junior grade Geordi LaForge's time as acting captain
("Arsenal of Freedom"). Earl Grey also discusses that
other captain of theEnterprise-D, Captain Edward Jellico ("Chain
of Command, Parts 1 and 2"). 

How did these commanders handle people? What challenges did many
of them overcome as first time captains? How many of them
consulted Livingston for advice in the ready room? Put on your
red shirt so you can tug on it, as Earl Greydiscusses the
command styles in TNG.
