The Mutiny: Difference between revisions

Line 28:

** Oh, that's easy. The XO's the Mutineer, [[Overused Running Gag|the Captain's a Barrator]].

* ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]'', a few times, notably The Black Pearl taken from Jack in the backstory.

* ''[[Battleship Potemkin]]''. [[Truth in Television]] and a cinematic masterpiece.

* Kirk skirts this line over and over again in the new ''[[Star Trek (film)|Star Trek]]'' reboot.

* ''[[HMS Defiant]]'' placed in the time of Spithead mutiny, the crew plans it from the beginning, and Dirk Bogarde's super-evil, sadistic first lieutenant gives them pretty good reason to do it.

* ''Son of Kong'' crew stages a mutiny because they don't want to go back to Skull Island. Egged on by the villain of the film, but then they throw him overboard too.

Line 53:

* ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise]]''. In "Hatchery" Archer becomes obsessed with protecting a Xindi insectoid hatchery at the expense of their mission to save Earth. The by-the-book MACO's follow the Captain's orders, and the crew who've been together long enough to realize Archer is acting strangely, and now have the self-confidence to do something about it, try to apprehend and find out what is wrong with him.

* Commander Riker of ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' took his captain's side in a mutiny very early in his career; he later decided that had been [[Broken Pedestal|the wrong call]].

** Lampshaded in ''Disaster'' by Picard when three children he has [[Field Promotion|made "officers"]] [[No One Gets Left Behind|disobey]] his order to [[I Will Only Slow You Down|leave him to die]].

* ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]]''. With the support of Vice-President Zarek, Lt. Gaeta leads a full-scale armed mutiny against Admiral Adama and President Roslin.

* In ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]'', there was an interesting case in the episode "[[Star Trek/Recap/S3 E24 Turnabout Intruder|Turnabout Intruder]]", where Kirk had switched bodies with his jealous, insane ex-lover, who wanted to be captain. The rest of the crew became suspicious of their captain's irrational behaviour. However all medical tests showed that Kirk was perfectly fine and even when Scotty suggested that they mutiny, McCoy pointed out the medical report was all that Starfleet would accept and they would be the ones who irrationally mutiny against their captain.

* In ''[[Dubious Company]]'', after [[Beauty, Brains, and Brawn|Elly, Walter, and Tiren]] escape the brig, Walter convinces [[Heel Face Revolving Door|the crew]] to do this to Captain Barry.

** Barry tries to repeatedly [[Chekhov's Boomerang|regain the ship]] this way too. It only worked if Walter didn't keep a [[Tastes Like Friendship|full stock of rum]] to maintain loyalty.
