Agreed. Jellico would’ve been a cool captain on another ship. I liked the part of his character that went to Riker as the best qualified pilot despite their butting heads. But his whole “My way or the highway” approach, as intended, was grating.

Jellico was an interesting way to address some regulars’ lobbying for changes to their characters. Ronny Cox played to perfection a sympathetic asshole. The only one to do it better is Todd Stashwick in Picard.

Still would’ve loved to see Jellico assimilated. He would’ve fit right into “Resistance is futile.”
