Would anything preclude a 2279 TMP?

[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] Me too. Even the dialogue at the end of BOBW pt 2 seems to indicate that he was going to keep it. And it was a field promotion, so I guess that Hansen wouldn't have to do paperwork to put it through. The idea would be to field promote in a war, so lots of paperwork would mess things up. The visual log should have been good enough. Spock stayed a captain with Kirk as well. The differences being from an audience POV that Spock was also a science officer. Riker was essentially the other half of the command unit, and the subordinate. Putting him on the same rank as Picard would have mucked that up. What's most strange it that the promotion occured in BOBW p2. If it had been in p1, you could argue that maybe they didn't know if Stewart would remain on the show, or whatever. But by p2, they knew that season 4 would be the same as season 3, so why promote him, and then secretly take it away again, with no explanation? It made no sense. [QUOTE] Don't forget Lt. Cmdr. Dax, who was captain of the Defiant for some time, or Lt. Cmdr. Data, commanding the Sutherland. And last but not least Cadet/Captain Watters of the Valiant. [/QUOTE]Those are all unique situations though. Data was put in command due to a lack of command officers, and it was a temporary sitation as well. Cadet Watters was also a fluke. And Dax wasn't really the captain of the Defiant, any more than Worf or Kira were when they took it out. The Defiant was never a "mobile" starship. It always operatred from a base. And even if you don't believe that, it was wartime, so again, you'd have lower ranks commanding ships to make up for deaths. And in all those cases (apart form Watters), the captain was a Lt Commander, which is a long, long, LONG way away from a lietenant Junior Grade commanding a Nebula Class starship in peace time. [QUOTE] Probably because Jellico was so formal. At least he ordered Troi to wear a standard uniform. Her normal uniforms were quite embarrassing. Anyone remember the scene in "The Ensigns of Command"? [/QUOTE]True. For all the criticisms of Seven's skin tight outfit, Troi's really weren't much better. Or did she find them effective when she was fulfilling her psychiatric duties? Perhaps they relaxed the patient... She also seemed to gain about 20 IQ points once they stuck her in a normal uniform. What was the scene from The Ensigns Of Command though? And was it as bad as "What's a containment breach" in "Disaster?" [/QB][/QUOTE]
