Comments

David Warner was such an accomplished and prolific actor. Personally, as a kid, I will always remember him from "Somewhere in Time" and "TRON," but he obviously did so much more. He had such a presence and gravitas, not to mention a speaking voice for the ages.

Visible Pixels

100%. He's a terrible leader. He expected hundreds of people to immediately, without concern or hesitation, to adjust to him and his way of doing things and that he didn't need to adjust at all. Not only did he feel he didn't need to adjust, but he felt he didn't need to explain anything either.

I served with the US Navy for 5 years and every time a new captain took command, they always had to change things to their favor. For the most part, it wouldn't cause any problems, but every now and then you get a politician who doesn't know what he's doing and operations are disrupted until the situation gets unfucked. Gelico is one of the more realistic captains portrayed on the show. He reminds me of several skippers who were sort of rock stars. They ran a tight ship and expected greatness in all of us. I would be proud to serve under him. He has a proven track record of knowing his enemy and getting his crew home safe.

Paul McIntyre

OMG, just got home from vacation and catching up. Paula is watching Futurama!? Hope for some reactions or discussion over on Discord.

Josh G

I skydived before and it was amazing! Hope you have fun 😊

NormalGamerGal

Have fun skydiving, Kat. I couldn’t do that in a million years (even roller coasters terrify me). If I ever had to jump out of a plane in an emergency, I’d be like Tim Curry’s character in Congo. https://youtu.be/dYNNoZ1Kga4

Matthew Zeidman

Yes, the Gals plan to watch S6 of Rick and Morty at some point. But I don't think there's a timeline yet.

Firefly24601

An unrelated question: Are there any plans to watch season 6 of Rick and Morty? If yes any timeline?

gobmob2000

Jellico is a terrible leader. He's a petty martinet barking orders. He doesn't listen. Doesnt value the thoughts or experience of his subordinates. He inspires no trust.

Stephen Kronfeld

Most people always give Captain Jelicho shit and don't like him. I liked him from the get go. He was different from Picards style of captaining, but he wasn't a bad Captain. I think he was pretty good at his job and sided with him over Riker. I think Riker was the dickhead in this situation. Sidenote: To bad episodes like this don't happen anymore. In Star Trek some of the best episodes happened, because they needed to safe money. If you have limits in scenery and everything the acting and story has to be really good.

Red Claw

I'd also love to see a reaction of "In the Pale Moonlight" which IMO can be watched even without seeing the rest of the series

Chris Lane- Venturi 3D

The Futurama Star Trek episode works best after watching The Squire of Gothos and Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.

David Brown

Back in the day, the writer made Riker the "good guy" between he and Captain Jellico. However, over the years, upon re-watching this episode, fans have, on a large scale, changed their opinions. Now, having been removed from the series for so many years, many of those fans believe it was Riker acting unreasonable.

Sal Sanchez

My favorite role that I've seen him play was that of Evil in the movie Time Bandits. Sooo good... I mean Sooo BAD! "If I were creating a world I wouldn't mess about with butterflies and daffodils. I'd start with Lasers, eight o'clock day one!'

Henchman Twenty1

Maybe we can "vote in" some standalone DS9 episodes, like they did with TOS? I feel "Duet" might be right up their alley.

MrEvers

I wrote this in a different comment, but I think it makes some sense that she wouldn't wear her uniform while doing counseling sessions. It might not promote the kind of vibe that she wants for those meetings. But yeah, when she's on the bridge or doing anything official, it feels like a uniform is the most appropriate thing for her to wear.

Robert C

The one good thing Jellicoe does as Captain in this episode is to put Troi into a standard uniform. My understanding is that it was a request from Marina Sirtis, that they used Jellicoe to implement. During the original broadcast run, the fandom didn't take Troi very seriously as a character, and Sirtis felt that the costuming was a big part of preventing viewers from seeing Troi as a professional, one of and on a par with the rest of the ship's medical staff. I may be misremembering whether it was Sirtis or another of the showrunners who thought that, but I'd say whoever did was entirely correct about it. Seeing Troi in a Starfleet uniform changes the whole perception of the character. It turns out there's a reason why costume design is a vital part of character creation, and a poor decision by the original designers gets rectified here.

Keith Goodnight

Please do that reaction to the Star Trek episode of Futurama. That would be great!

Yog-Sothoth

One of TNG's best two-parters. Better than some of the season finales. I won't lie and say I'm not a little disappointed that DS9 isn't happening. I'm aware logistically it'd be finicky to fit on the schedule for one. Part of the disappointment stems from how this episode sets up some plot threads that run through the next couple of series that get disjointed narratively with the 1 series at a time approach. It all makes sense that way, sure, but the flow and weaving is lost a bit. All I'll say is that this damn Cardassian treaty won't go away. I say this just so that as you move forward, you'll be keeping up with the Cardassians. (Although, people saying to watch it after this one and NOT the next one are wrong, that's just bizarre) Funny thing, both Jellico and Nechayev are abrasive people. They are all about their job, professionalism and maintaining command distance to not invite personal bias. When they are at work, they are there to work, not make friends. Certainly not when they feel time won't allow. And yet, they both have hints of the people they are when they AREN'T working on display. Literally in Jellico's case, he's proudly displaying his son's art on the wall. He HAS a family, while Picard does not. Nechayev doesn't quite get as much focus, but the moment between her and Jellico in private when they both show concern and worry for Picard and his team, something they would NEVER do infront of the crew shows they aren't both complete icy cold abrasive a-holes. There's more to them than that. But we don't get to see the other sides of them too much because that's not. Where. The show. Is. Focused. On. These people keep their personal and professional lives strictly seperate, that's how they are most mentally comfortable, so in a show about professional people you aren't going to see their softer, more explicitly emotional side. Especially not in moments of heightened tension. They restrain that until they "get it done." I appreciate that about them. I may even like that about them. Certainly, Nechayev is one of my favorite admirals because I can tell that beyond the icy all-business exterior is a more complex, down to earth individual, who's made the choice to be this abrasive in service of her job, regardless of her feelings. I think the actress is wonderful in the role, and I think the character gets a bad rap. Also, remember how icy, detached and professionally distant Picard started out as? How he still is in ways? Only these people are new, not their personalities.

Nolan

Riker rolling his eyes is disrespectful. He should be broken in rank. He is there to support the Captain, even if he disagrees. That should be kept in private. Unprofessional. Send Riker back to the Academy

Mark Ten

One subtle thing to note is that you’ve got Data doing the formal “Captain on the bridge” announcement that we don’t hear with Picard. So “off camera” he must’ve told him to say that.

Joe Concepts

One thing I think they chose to make us not like him is it feels off when he calls everyone by their first names, because he doesn’t know them like we do.

Joe Concepts

I guess what it comes down to is that when I see Jellico on the Enterprise I think, "Ooh, not a great fit," but I don't think, "How did this guy become a Federation Starship captain?" I can easily see him being very effective and even well liked and respected on the right ship with the right crew.

R. Chang

i mean "jack"

Also played "Jac the Ripper "

Capt. Jellico is one of the most interesting secondary characters on TNG, maybe in the whole franchise. I attribute this sophisticated portrayal to Ronald D. Moore’s effort to add tones of grey to the moral universe of Trek. Between the writing and Cox’s performance, Jellico almost perfectly threads the needle between “tough but fair” and “inappropriate,” between difficult to work for and actually counterproductive. I am particularly struck on this viewing by the fact that part of Troi’s job, arguably, IS to be responsible for morale. This is especially valid during a crisis when the captain, whoever they are, can’t focus on morale and may in fact be forced by circumstances to do things that strain morale. Now, if he continued to be this way all the time, in every type of situation, and always put the burden on the Ship’s Counselor, that would be a problem. But that’s not really what we’re seeing here.

Andrew Pulrang

I forgot Beverly Hills Cop. That has to be the exception to the rule. I can't think of any others though that I have seen. He was hard-nosed in Beverly Hills Cop and became more likeable over the course of the first 2 movies.

Peter

Dianna started in-uniform for the Pilot episode but that was the weird-skirt-thing. I don't quite remember when it changed. It is interesting that she gets told to wear it again and it is consistent with medical personnel. She rocks whatever she wears tho. I think it served more for-show to the Cardassians that this is an "officer with rank" to further the intimidation. Generally Dianna kinda puts others at ease with negotiations but Jellico seems to be using her for the perception of intimidation to have her in uniform. It is definitely a different sight with the three of them sitting together in uniform (Dianna, Wil, & Cpt. Bust -yo-B@II$).

Christian Rennie

He did some things wrong.

The Real NC Picker

100% this. I think overall he is the wrong type of Captain to command the Enterprise, an exploratory vessel with working civilians on board. He makes good decisions to prep the ship and his crew for possible confrontation with the Cardassians, but they way he goes about it is autocratic and isn't conducive to teamwork. (Unless the team you're trying to put together is "we hate the Captain" team.) I feel that if Picard would have done the exact same thing, he would have made it more of a "the situation is making us do this, we need to be prepared" rather than "do it because I said so".) That being said, Riker's and Geordi's responses were pretty darn unprofessional.

Firefly24601

Yuuuup, Ronny Cox is a character actor you hire specifically so people don't like whoever you've written. :D

Firefly24601

Jellico can be right and wrong. This episode is not 100% one way or the other. That's why it's sooooooo good!

The Real NC Picker

RIP David Warner... He will always be Dr. Jordon Perry, from Secret of the Ooze, to me.

The Real NC Picker

You sometimes hire Mr. Cox for likable characters especially if their character's last name is Bogomil and they are in Beverley Hills. Lt. Bogomil was tough, but had your back if it warranted it and you were a good officer.

Matt O'Keefe

I haven't seen everything he is in but, as a general rule of thumb, you don't hire Ronny Cox to play a character you are going to like. He is probably a really nice guy but I just hate every character I have seen him play. Not because the acting is bad but, because the acting is brilliant. He knows how to make the viewers hate which ever character he plays. I remember him when he was in Stargate SG1 in the late 90s early 00s. I just wanted to jump into the TV and beat the crap out of him because he got under my skin. As far as characters go though Jellico is one that probably could be respected more easily if he had a lot more screen time. This is one of my favourite episodes of TNG mainly for the acting to come in the 2nd part.

Peter

As much as they are an exploratory vessel, the Enterprise and its crew needs to be prepared for war. Jelico mostly highlighted the ways they're lacking on that front. They're lucky they're so good at thinking on their feet, but preparing for the worst case scenarios is absolutely a part of their job. Jelico hasn't demonstrated unacceptable captain behaviors, so it's kind of the crew's duty to follow and keep their gripes to themselves.

Shelly

Yeah it's abrupt on first watch, I remember definitely hating Jellico and everything he does. We're meant to identify with our heroes, so when we see Riker and Geordi grimacing or Troi frowning, we're supposed to sympathize. But on rewatch there's nothing I really disagree with regarding Jellico. Maybe he could be a little less abrasive but he's being pretty relaxed and non-confrontational (with the crew) for the most part, and his requests aren't unreasonable. AND he's been making it clear from the minute he boarded the ship that they're heading into a potentially really dangerous situation and there's no time for pleasantries.

Jarrod Wild

RIP David Warner, he was certainly one of the greatest character actors.

Jarrod Wild

I know that we're supposed to hate Jellico, and I kind of do, but I also don't think he's a bad captain. He's different, but ultimately, I think pretty much everything he wants is reasonable. Like, it's not crazy for him to ask Deanna to wear a standard uniform on the bridge. That's a perfectly reasonable request. I get that she might not want to wear it in a counseling session, but if she's sitting on the Captain's left hand, being in uniform is appropriate. Also, she looks great in uniform. He believes that they could be in the middle of a shooting war in a matter of days so he needs the ship to be ready. So he's not going to care that stellar cartography or whatever has to shut down while they beef up the defenses. Which, again I think is reasonable. Data even backs up his requests and timelines as achievable. The real problem is communication. I know that I have always gotten the best results when everybody understands what we're trying to achieve and why I'm asking them to do what I'm asking them to do. It's possible that security issues keep him from being completely candid, but he could probably give more than did. On the other hand, some of these people are just being whiny. Like, Geordi, do you really need to know all of the intimate details outside of "we might have to fight Cardassians" to understand why he needs you to do this work?

R. Chang

But Picard is only being transferred, not promoted. If he was moved on to another ship, his rank could still be captain.

Joe Concepts

Sorry, but that isnt the way an experienced crew should be responding to a new Captain. Also, you no longer call Picard "Captain" aboard a ship once a new Captain has officially taken over (as Riker did). There can only be one Captain aboard a ship. Protocol calls for a non-commanding Captain's title to be bumped up a grade. While Picard is aboard Jellico's Enterprise, Picard can only be addressed as "Commodore Picard". Thats first year academy stuff. Picard's former crew fails here massively in the first few hours of command change. Insubordination! Going to your old Captain (Commodore) to complain about your new Captain??? Court Marshall with no defense.

Mark Ten

I'll be the first one who says it, but I kind of liked Jellico on some level. He is the most "military" style captain we've seen. And while like Geordi says, the speed he wants thing done seem unreasonable, I feel like it's a way to show the crew how easy they have it with Picard. He's a great captain, but he is supposed to be a stand-out, special officer. For some reason I liked the crew forced into dealing with a captain who's really in charge and isn't there to be friends. Wouldn't want him to take command permanently or anything, but he makes things interesting. Maybe if he had taken command NOT in the middle of a crisis he would've done better.

Joe Concepts

I didn't appreciate this as a kid, but as an adult I've had new managers get hired and immediately start changing things for the sake of changing things. Those managers have always sucked!
