I was thinking more a TOW missile, Hammond of Texas would want to maintain control and not risk radio interference through the gate as much as possible.

All RF. You might be thinking of the scuba suit test run from the 50s

It could also be argued that he may have been eating non-dairy ice cream in that scene. Lactose intolerance (and other dairy-free lifestyles like veganism) are fairly common, so I wouldn't be surprised if the SGC food stores had non-dairy varieties as well for those individuals who don't want "normal" ice cream. We certainly don't get a clear enough view of the label to see exactly what it is he is eating. They just call it "the frozen stuff" here.

But I agree, the better in-universe assumption is that he had just learned his lesson after eating dairy for the first time. With that said, I assume the real-world explanation is that that was actually just a mistake by two different Stargate writers not coordinating stories.

"I would prefer not to consume bovine lactose at any temperature"

(said at some point after the episode where he consumes tons of ice cream, probably discovering he is intolerant or at the very least giving himself digestive issues)

he sorta redeems himself in his last appearance, when he wears a wire, but he becomes a goauld. apparently he never was seen on-screen again or died off screen so fans speculated he likely got out of the ship before it exploded.

After being told off by Troi, at least. Begrudgingly.

This is true, but it's also worth noting that the only member of the crew he has a significant conflict with is Riker. And ultimately, Riker is the one who is repeatedly out of line in that situation. He's insubordinate, he refuses to follow orders, and he undermine's Jellico's authority.

And that last point is uniquely important in their mission. He's managing a tense situation with cardassians, and he knows they are looking for the slightest hint of weakness. If Riker, second in command on the Federation's flagship, can't behave like a disciplined officer, the cardassians could very well see that as proof that the federation lacks the resolve for a real fight.

He's flawed and could absolutely have handled things better. And we see that he can when he goes back to Riker because he's needed for the mission. He patiently lets Riker vent at him, lets the whole conflict between them get aired out, and then sets his own ego aside and appeals to Riker's sense of duty and asks him if he's willing to take on the mission. He's not backing down and still being himself, but he's letting Riker get what he needs emotionally and trusting him to do what needs to be done.

Left eye twitches

Must be his squinty, smug little eyes eh

For everyone that got this far without paying attention to anything, there was a meme posted and someone made a comment about it being a netflix moment, another person asked what they meant, and they said that they were referring to writing for audiences that aren't really paying attention so they still don't get as lost, and then it was rehashed with different wording, then a user said this was already explained, then I explained what happened.

This will be repeated again shortly for anyone not paying attention to this, or you can ask your favourite AI to give you a summary so you can pretend you were always following along.

"The government of China does not believe in keeping secrets from its citizens."

Yes that was already explained to me, thank you.

This, and:

"Colonel, the United States is not in the business of interfering in other people's affairs."

"... Since when, sir?"

The shows are pandering to the ADHD audience

Part of being a good commander is understanding your crew and being willing to work with them.

If they dont trust you enough to do what you say in times of crisis without hesitation, youre gonna have a bad time.

Everything you say is true, but Jellico was a total dick :)

He's plays amazingly hateable characters in stuff. My favorites are Dick Jones in Robocop and Cohaagen in Total Recall

Also, everyone else needed to believe that Picard wasn’t coming back for the whole gambit to work. He plays the extra layer of knowing the burden well, he knows he is going to be disliked for what he is doing but he has a duty to make the mission successful no matter how much he would like to be liked by this crew.

I see. Thanks for the clarification.

What you are doing is called ADHD. What the movie is doing used to not happen often enough to get a name and happens whether you are paying attention or not.

LOL what you just described is called ADHD. It doesn't need a new name.

It's when people repeat the same information, again and again, because you are doing dishes and scrolling your phone while the movie is on TV.

Please explain what "Netflix moment" means. I have no idea because I pirate everything.

db0 help he's bad-jacketing me D=
