[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Then again, perhaps no Klingon ever really got to test their "natural" lifespan before? :) Having Worf be an ensign at seventeen, at an age when Picard wasn't even a cadet yet, is not objectionable per se. We don't know if there are entry age limitations in existence - we know Picard tried officer training at seventeen while others seem to have entered at eighteen, but that could be a mere coincidence, or something specific to human candidates. The objectionable part would be having Worf spend so much time at these low ranks, if the references to his age during the shows hold true (he must have been at least six during the Khitomer massacre, etc). Then again, moving up from Ensign doesn't seem to be a major prestige issue in Starfleet, and might not have been one for Worf, either. Despite his obsession with the Klingon honor propaganda, he never appeared to be hungry for promotions. It could be that hunger for promotions ISN'T part of the propaganda version of honorable Klingon conduct, of course. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
