The most unrealistic part of Star Trek is how much time they seem to have in a day.

The weird thing is I watched a youtube video about this very thing and the writers said in different extras that they based his charcter on the western show “The Rifleman”.

When you don't have a bullshit job to do, I can imagine personal times being more available than 21st century.

And that’s with a three shift rotation. Imagine if Jelico got his way with a four shift rotation, giving everyone a six hour work day.

To be fair, Sisko and the others on Deep Space 9 do have a 26 hour day.

I'm not so sure about "most." Seemed more like special occasions to me.

All throughout DS9 I was getting emotional thinking about how progressive the show was for portraying a black father like this in the 90s. Then I realized it had nothing to do with skin color... he was everything my white father was not. The tears were my own.

Some viewers : Jellico is an asshole!
Jellico : I want 2 more hours of free time for everyone!

It's kinda of an asshole move to just go and impose that change suddenly in a situation of emergency without any planing at all.

Yeah, my real opinion isn't "Yay Jellico", more "Jellico has a different management and negociation sense than Picard and it's being done in a way that the crew are not expecting/are used to".

You're right that the changes were implemented in a very quick way, but I also remember the EP explaining "there's not time to lose!"

It's basically space Buccee's, but with a Ferengi mascot, so yeah, that's super accurate.

He built this to prove the Cardassians wrong, the people who argue with each other as a courtship ritual.

Yeah, he's a tease.

He's the guy in the food court threatening people with knives

If I understand him right, it's our fault you have to fry the fries twice. But the most damning thing of all... I think I can live with it... And if I had to do it all over again... I would. Ronald was right about one thing – a guilty conscience is a small price to pay for good fries. So, I will learn to live with it...Because I can live with it...I can live with it.

Computer – erase that entire personal log.

Look his previous crew had a good union and he had to give them PTO too. In a society that didn't have pay that was big of him. He just wanted to honor his collective bargaining agreement.

Yeah what the fuck. I propose we make each second 12/13 as long so we can have 26 hours.

I reactionarily snorted quite loud to this.

The mall manager part was so unexpected and clever.

hes also a major thorn on sg1 side, he eventually was taken over by a gouald,

spoiler

his fate was never revealed after that episode, likely escaped from the alkesh. Many fans think he escaped, as sg1 never brought him up again.
