[Green Knight]

1. He was sentient. So he shouldn't have rank? Ah. So the best, most qualified individual shouldn't be hired for the job? What would you prefer, then? Affirmative Access for humans? Give them a leg up against the androids?

2. Will Stryker? Who's that?

3. At no point did Picard EVER have to get permission from Counsellor Troi to open fire. He only used her so he could get a bead on the aliens, if they were being honest, lying, threating, etc.

4. In this case Picard had the leg up on Kirk. Who was Kirk's security chief? Chekov? Worf was a total and utter bad-ass! Who WOULDN'T want him as security chief?

Will Stryker? Who's that?

IIRC, he was the genius son of the ship's surgeon.

Worf was a total and utter bad-ass! Who WOULDN'T want him as security chief?

The problem is that they kept having the Enemy of the Week beat up Worf. The first few times, this says, "Geez! These guys are really tough!" After a dozen or so times, it says, "Geez! Worf is such a wuss!"

William Stryker is the "bad guy" in X-Men 2.

Great movie, btw.
