Tyrant Takes the Helm: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Greek]]'': Lizzie, the national representative watching over Zeta Beta Zeta, is a passive-aggressive Tyrant, promising any "slip-ups" being reported to Nationals. She's somewhat ineffective, though, and eventually shows signs of a [[Bait and Switch Tyrant]].

* This happens at least once a season in ''[[24]]''. Usually at some point the competent head of CTU is either punished for not "playing by the book" or somehow incapacitated, and "Division" sends over a replacement, who is ''always'' an arrogant jerk who annoys everybody by being more concerned with strict guidelines and power trips than with doing whatever it takes to stop the terrorist threat at hand. Usually, this person is either re-replaced or finally comes to see the error of his or her ways, usually when they make things worse.

* Captain Edward Jellico in the ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' episode "Chain of Command (Part 1)". He made sweeping changes which, while normal for a regular armed force, were rather unorthodox for the [[Mildly Military]] Starfleet. Notably, he finally put Troi in a standard uniform (which was much more flattering on her anyway).

** Something of a subversion, too, since he rescued [[The Captain|Picard]] and [[Out-Gambitted]] the Cardassians (a race that has [[Magnificent Bastard]] as [[Planet of Hats|their hat]]). Picard even said he'd be keeping a lot of Jellico's changes.
