Our Spotlight Series brings us to one of the most highly debated Captains we see in Star Trek....Captain Edward Jellico. When Captain Jellico is brought onboard the Enterprise to take command while Captain Picard, Dr. Crusher and Worf are on a secret mission, things get rocky....especially with Commander Riker and Captain Jellico. Is he REALLY that bad of a Captain or is the crew just too accustomed to Captain Picard?

As we continue with our Starfleet's Finest? Spotlight Series, we arrive to TNG's Decent Part I & II. In this episode we highlight Admiral Alynna Nechayev, played by our dear friend Natalija Nogulich. When Data experiences an emotional response killing a Borg drone, something inside him snaps...leading to him involuntarily joining his brother Lore. Admiral Nechayev reminds Picard that if he is given another opportunity, like the one with Hugh, to rid the Federation of a mortal enemy, then he is to take it! The Enterprise follows after him but not at the expense of Troi, La Forge and Captain Picard being held prisoner.

We continue looking at Starfleet's "Finest" as we highlight Admiral Kennelly in TNG's "Ensign Ro". The Enterprise is asked to track down Bajoran Terrorists, with the help of Ensign Ro Laren, brought out of prison by Admiral Kennelly to assist Captain Picard. What Picard doesn't know is that Admiral Kennelly has something else in mind, and Ro is just a pawn.

The next episode in our Spotlight Series episode brings us to TNG's "Too Short a Season", highlighting Admiral Mark Jameson.Admiral Mark Jameson, a man suffering from Iverson's Disease, is brought aboard the Enterprise to travel to Mordan IV to help negotiate the release of Federation hostages by local terrorists. Throughout the episode, Admiral Jameson begins to de-age. What ensues results is significant health issues that affect the Admiral along with some "skeletons" that are revealed. Is Admiral Jameson one of Starfleet's Finest? You decide!

He’s appeared in such movies and shows as X-Men 2, iRobot, Stargate SG-1, Falling Skies, The Strain, X-Files, Supernatural, The Flash, Once upon a time, and currently Murder in a small town, airing on Fox.

You may know him best as the man who kept the Admiral’s Vipers flying, Chief Galen Tyrol on Battlestar Galactica! We laughed so much our jaws hurt and we know you will LOVE Aaron as much as we do!
