Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Riker's confrontation with Nechayev in Episode 10 creates tension that is directly mirrored in Episode 11, where Jellico reinforces hierarchical discipline by relieving Riker. This thematic escalation illustrates Nechayev's and Jellico's shared emphasis on strict command structures.
