Jellico was the outsider, the step-parent that was never going to meet the standard of Picard because Picard was there first. Jellico did not really do anything wrong and actually was a pretty good fit for the situation, sadly, the crew naturally has the sympathy of the audience because we not only like them but also Picard.

Sep 25, 2015 · I've never gotten the impression that Jellico was meant to be a "jerk" who can't do anything right. I think he's intended to be a decent guy and a solid commanding officer who has some significant flaws, chief among them being his inability to get along with people under his command and a tendency to try to fix things that aren't broken.

Admiral Edward Jellico commanded the Federation starships USS Cairo and USS Enterprise-D in the late 2360s. He led the Cairo in 2367 and was a candidate to command the Enterprise-D following Captain Picard's demise. Despite not securing the Enterprise-D command, Jellico was elevated to rear admiral.

Feb 20, 2024 · On December 21, 1992, Captain Edward Jellico (Ronny Cox) gave up command of the USS Enterprise, handing the proverbial space keys back to Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart). The tenure...

Jun 8, 2018 · Yet that wasn't what Jellico was. He was a wartime leader, which draws on a totally different pool of command skill and style. I think had the Enterprise gone into battle, or a protracted war, Jellico would have won over a lot of converts.

Dec 26, 2022 · Jellico, though stern and rigid, proved to be a formidable captain, and not only dealt with the Cardassians but saved Picard as well. His biggest flaw was that he wasn’t Picard, and the crew let him know it. Yet, he was arguably a very good and efficient captain.

Captain Edward Jellico, who took over command of the Enterprise in Star Trek: The Next Generation ‘s two-part episode “Chain of Command” might be deeply unpopular, but he was the right person for the job.

Sep 16, 2009 · Jellico is the commanding officer. "Do it my way no matter what" is his right. He doesn't *have* to listen to objections. The fact that he didn't throw anyone in the brig - which would also be his right - is a testament to his self control.

Jul 7, 2009 · I liked Jellico. I was on his side the whole time. He was right, and the Ent-D crew were wrong. They simply weren't used to dealing with a real leader. They weren't used to Jellico's style of command. I'm sure his old crew on the Cairo worked well with him and didn't just stand around griping all day.

Oct 29, 2016 · Jellico was a good captain. The script for the episode takes great pains to try to portray him as some sort of villain but, in my eyes at least, only manages to show how petty, immature, and unprofessional the Enterprise regulars could be when they put their minds to it.
