Would anything preclude a 2279 TMP?

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Spike: [QB] [QUOTE]This scheme also lacks the rank of Commodore.[/QUOTE]Yes, but we have the reference to Commodore Probert in TMP. [QUOTE]And in ST2-5, there was no rank pin for Lt.Cmdr.[/QUOTE]ST2-3. The Alien at Starfleet HQ in TVH was the first person with the Lt. Cmdr.-pin. [QUOTE]So the brief absence of these rank markings shouldn't count as implied absence of rank.[/QUOTE]Very true, but TMP is somewhat different, because it uses a stripe-rank-system. Ensigns in TMP wore one broken stripe (eg the Alien bridge officer) and Lieutenants one full stripe (eg Ilia, Chekov). So, no stripe-combination is left for Lt. JG. [QUOTE]Or, rather, in the later TOS movies the marking exists in memo form but is not seen on-screen[/QUOTE]At least 2 commodores were in the TVH Federation Council scene (the black cat and the Andorian with hair). [QUOTE]Then again, what is the one-pip flag rank in TNG?[/QUOTE]Well, since the TNG rank pips were clearly based on the USN rank stripes, I came up with this rank system for TNG Season 1: http://home.arcor.de/spike730/Seite1.htm If this is correct, we had two Commodores during TNG: Gregory Quinn and Mark Jameson. Since both were called "Admiral", I believe the rank was renamed from Commodore to Rear Admiral (lower half). There's another indicaton for this renaming: Admiral Quinn wanted to promote Picard from Captain to Admiral. [/QB][/QUOTE]
