 Actually, one gripe I have with #StarTrek #TheNextGeneration, #DeepSpaceNine, and #Voyager is that all the captains are intolerant to dissent, and are like: How dare you disobey! There's a rule command!

But then some admiral or viceroy from #Starfleet turns up and the entire crew are like: Ugh! Fucking Starfleet bureaucracy! 

And then they disobey orders.

So which is? A rule of command or no rule of command?
