he has.. in TNG season 1.
we've had the whole different careers, different ranks discussion before, concerning Janeway's admiralty. Johnny Picard wields his power better as a captain, and has chosen to stay there, while Kathy fits better navigating a chair. plus she was a media relations move promoting the returning hero. plus its safer to have her in an office where they can keep an eye on her.
BTW, check Willy Riker wearin his four pips!

there is no message here (other than this message) because i realized that O Captain Mike Captain said what i was going to say much more succinctly than i was going to say it when he said

Depends on the year. It would make sense one or two years after 2377. But in 2377 only one pip makes sense.

hm.. i thought that at this point, one-pip flag rank (commodore) was skippable or something.
do not pass go, head straight to rear admiral

I guess Troi wears clothes at her wedding - or soon thereafter.
But, of course, we knew that - gravity, time, PG, etc.
Plot spoilers!
After their clothed ceremony on Earth, the Enterprise-E is heading to Betazed for a nude version. Much joking about Worf's uncomfortableness. That's when they get drawn into the action of the movie.

And finally she's in decent threads! God that old uniform got boring.
I'll bet they had to explain away the ditching of phase torpedoes and superfuckablative armor with something like "The romulans and klingons got jelaous and said we would be too mighty so we erased the tech because mankind wasn't ready for it!" Pussies...

or they just drank the memories of the voyager tech away ["they" being the writers].

maybe the Ferengi stole it without anyone knowing it was them?

Uh, why's Riker in uniform when Troi isn't? Is Frakes no longer quite as open with his cleavage as in the good old days of "Angel One"?
Too bad about those two pips. I agree, one would make much more sense. Do we have a stardate for "Nemesis", though? Perhaps it is 2379 or something now, after all?
