I loved how Jellico latched onto Data and Data was like "shrug?" after every time he asked him to follow him.

All Worf had to do was say "hmmp finally!" on the bridge in response to an order from Data which caused Data to take him into the Ready Room and chew him out. At the time, Data told Worf he never saw Riker show an insubordinate attitude toward Picard. Was that before or after this episode? Riker was the most insubordinate prick who was lazy, comfortable, and questions Jellico's every order because he thought he knew his own ship better.

All this stuff about Riker being one of the finest officers in the fleet - I think he actually demonstrated this in the first season and after that he just became a lazy character who lost all ambition and decided to play trombone, grow a beard, and get fat on the flagship.

If Jellico was in command during The Best of Both Worlds he would have fired the deflector dish weapon or ordered ramming speed on first sight before being captured like Picard and letting them adapt to it.
