Upon rewaching Chain Of Command I & II, i really wish Jellico had tossed Riker out an airlock instead of just relieving him of duty. Jesus what a whiny unprepared cunt he turned out to be when the stakes are raised. Especially his conversation with Jellico in his quarters when he has to fly the shuttle drives me mad:
"You've got everybody wound up so tight, there's no joy in anything."
That line. That fucking line makes me wish for an alternate take with a quick drumhead court-martial that ends with Riker getting his insubordinate ass hanged in the cargo bay.
War is not joyful. Preparations for an imminent shooting war get people tense. The crew and officers need to fucking snap to and up their game, not bitch about the new captain being hard and expecting results.
Fuck Riker.
