Would anything preclude a 2279 TMP?

[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] I've always had the view that Kirk's promotion was partially a Public Relations move on Starfleet's part. Yeah, it was a reward for Kirk's super-successful five-year mission (according to generally-accepted conjecture), but it was also probably some kind of "advertisement" or politically-related move. Depending on what kind of politics they had at that time, anyway. Kirk was something of a maverick -- is it possible that some high-up admiral might've tried to rein him in by giving him a desk job disguised as a promotion? I don't remember much about TMP, what was Nogura's attitude (did he even appear in the movie? I know he was in the book.) towards Kirk? At any rate, it seems that Commodore is more of a field rank than a Command job. The Commodores were all either exalted starship captains or starbase commanders. If Kirk was vaulted into the Starfleet Command hierarchy, jumping a rank just might be possible. Especially when you also factor in the popularity mentioned above. [/QB][/QUOTE]
