When/under what circumstnaces were Kirk & Picard 'relieved of command'?

[Plaid Adder]

I used to know these things but I don't any more...I was just wondering how often the Star Trek captains really got declared unfit for command. Cause I'm also wondering what Bush will have to do before we declare HIM unfit for command.

Anyone remember?

C ya,

1. When they had a double and the double took over or when

an alian possessed them.

2. picard was relieved of command a couple of times

wasnt once over some suspected plot. McCarthy style inquisition on the kid with a romulan grandad and picard backed him so crazy admiral chick relieves him of command. And once it was so they could send him on a mission to spy on cardassions.

as for kirk who knows?

thing is they were always right in the end even if the moral ambiguity or disobeying orders were for good reason they got the command back.

bush is no captain picard, or Kirk, hell he's no bill shatner. in fact Bill shatner for president! he is a better speaker, he can point ot his own mistakes (that horrible album where he sung/talked about being high) and i trust him to not invade anyone or screw up the economy more than bush...shatner would at least have the sense to get good people around him rather than trust his enormous ego - and even if he did go with the ego is he pure evil? probably not.

again my socks would be a better president than bush

3. "The Drumhead"

was the name of that episode, for us freak Trek complete-ists.

As for Kirk ... damn, my aged brain can't remember either. I don't think he was ever relieved during the series or the movies, only occasionally incapacitated.

14. I don't think he was relieved of command ...

in The Drumhead. He's put on trial by a crazy Admiral, but I don't he's never relieved of duty.

15. I don't think he was relieved of command ...

in The Drumhead. He's put on trial by a crazy Admiral, but he's never relieved of duty.

On Edit -- oops, tried to edit the previous post (changed my thought and forgot to delete a word), but it reposted instead ...go figure.

4. Unfortunately

Bill could never be elected. He was born in Canada.

5. Picard was assimilated by the Borg ...

(Best of Both Worlds)


Picard was relieved of command again (well technically, he resigned) and replaced by Captain Jellico so he could lead a covert operation against the Cardassians. (Chain of Command)

Also, he was replaced by an alien double and was relieved of command ... well actually, it was the double who was relieved. (Allegience)

Yes, I admit it ... I'm a Trekkie. :smoke:

6. Mirror/Mirror - Evil Kirk was quickly thrown in the brig

That may not count though

[Feanorcurufinwe]

7. The 'evil Kirk'

was relieved of command and put in the brig in 'Mirror, Mirror'

9. Beat you by 1 minute -whew that was close

:toast:

11. But these are

plae imitators of the real Kirk. I can't think of a time when the big man was made to step down on his own.

Oh, wait, "Journey to Babel." After Kirk is injured in an assassination attempt, Spock is in command.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

13. That's not being revieved of command, though

In Mirror Mirror it was Kirk, just an alternate Kirk, not fit for command

[Feanorcurufinwe]

8. Picard was also relieved in 'Rascals'

when he was turned into a little kid.

[BattyDem]

16. Oh, I forgot a that!

I love that episode! :D

[Feanorcurufinwe]

18. Technically

he wasn't 'relieved' but he was talked into turning command over to Riker.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

10. Wasn't there one when Picard and Spock's Father Mind melded and

Picard went insane?

Seem to remember that, it might have been the acid though, those were my Deadhead days

[Book Lover]

12. Not insane

Picard acted as a repository for Sarek's overwhelming outbursts of emotion, brought on by the onset of a disease that elder Vulcans get. But Picard doesn't go nuts or anything; Patrick S. just gets a few good emotional lines of dialog.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

17. And he wasn't relieved

[Book Lover]

19. Right, right

Thanks for pointing that out.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

20. I couldn't remember whether he was or not

I remember it better now. Sarek was crying alot I remember
