Would anything preclude a 2279 TMP?

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Captain... Mike: [QB] nobody was promoted two steps between TOS and TMP Kirk: Captain->Rear Admiral Spock: Commander->Commander McCoy: Lieutenant Commander->Commander Scott: Lieutenant Commander->Commander Sulu: Lieutenant->Lieutenant Commander Uhura: Lieutenant->Lieutenant Commander Chekov: Ensign->Lieutenant Junior Grade Rand: Yeoman->Chief Petty Officer Kirk's rear admiral has always been based on costuming notes of what his stripes were meant to mean, compared to more senior admirals. Chekov seems to have had some stripe changes through the film, or at least during some photography phases of production, as his absent/broken/full stripes get a little confused. Some other costuming oddities were Decker's beige jumpsuit and McCoy and Spock accidentally switching jackets with green-medical and orange-sciences armbands. Rand's rank is assumed to be a good promotion, even though yeoman was a position and her TOS rank was never established, but both seem to be before she made ensign, based on the TMP costuming and character materials of her CPO rank. BTW, i think that saying that Kirk logged a star hour at some point in his years as an admiral is betraying the line's written intentions. That line was placed there as a story point, to establish that it had been almost two-and-a-half years since Kirk flew the E home. So I gotta go with it being during 2272, past the middle of the year, based on that 2.5 line and the Voyager mission end date 2270. And there are very few comic/novel deals that actually take place BETWEEN TOS and TMP..maybe youve forgotten this entails the E to be disassembled. So far, the only comics to tread there would be the second DC first series annual, which was about the end of the five year mission, and then the 75th issues of the second DC series, the end of the 'Star-Crossed' series that takes place as Admiral Kirk decidesto take the job at Ops because of crooked admirals mismanaging starship construction and refitting at skunkworks facilities. The novels that go here were designed to fill in a two year span, and there arent many.. 'The Lost Years' is about the immediately post TOS actions of the crew, followed chronologically by 'Traitor Winds.' 'A Flag Full of Stars' and 'Recovery' take place also, ending the Lost Years series and leaving definite open ends into the film, so theres not much to say these 6 stories wouldnt fit in 2 years. sorry.
