[QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [QB] Picard hand-picked Riker as his first officer and we're criticizing his choice of low-ranked engineers? Not sure what Picard was thinking, but its pretty clear he hand-picked just about everyone (except maybe Bev Crusher.. she made him nervous). Tasha impressed him in the Carnellian minefield. Geordi impressed him on some shuttle trip. He liked young Lt. Cmdr Riker's service record of talking back to the center chair. It's pretty clear that Picard was in charge of picking his crew, and he picked talent over more established ranking officers. When the Galaxy class was originally commissioned, it was pictured as a long-range explorer with 20 year missions, so perhaps it was considered important to pick youthful crewpeople who would become seasoned on the way (of course the Romulans and the beginning of the Borg-era disrupted Starfleet's 'pure exploration' era of goals, so the Enterprise spent more time NOT exploring after season 3 and 4). And since Picard was picked specifically for his experience as a previous commander of a 20 year long range mission, he seems to have been given a lot of leeway. [/QB][/QUOTE]
