[QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [QB] Liam, there was no spoiler stuff in the comment about Riker turning down command three times. That's TNG. He turned down the [i]Drake[/i], the [i]Aries[/i], and the [i]Melbourne[/i]. Moving on. I'm amazed no one's mentioned CPO Garrison from "The Cage" yet. As far as the various Chiefs go, I never thought of it as a rate the way it was used in dialogue, as the individuals were always [i]chiefs[/i] -- Chief Engineer, Transporter Chief, etc. O'Brien started on TNG as a Command Division Ensign serving as the battle bridge conn in "Encounter at Farpoint". A season later, Colm came back and his character had changed to the Engineering/Services Division, had gained a full pip, and was now the ship's transporter chief. He was even referred to in dialoge a couple times as "Lieutenant". A season after [i]that[/i], his backstory got expanded to include serving as the Tactical Officer aboard the [i]Rutledge[/i]. In the fourth season, however, Ron Moore went to write "Family" and thought "Chief" meant an enlisted rate rather than a shipboard job title. Bam, pow, sunk in one. --Jonah [/QB][/QUOTE]
