Or, more to the point, why Kirk didn't just leave Decker as the Captain of the Enterprise and stay on board himself (as Rear Admiral) as the mission director -- a situation we saw often enough in TOS.
Heck, why didn't Kirk just declare the Enterprise his flagship. Would have made things a lot less messy.

P.S. There is no canon evidence Kirk stayed on the Enterprise as Captain between TMP and TWOK.

the second five-year mission is talked about too often to be dismissed among fandom. i doubt theyll contradict it anytime soon.

What about that VOY episode where hat Borg kid (Eegah, or Isho', or whatever his name was) was reciting his history lesson and mentioned Kirk's mission ending in 2270? Did he say anything to the effect of "Kirk's five-year mission" (implying only one) or "Kirk's first five-year mission" (implying more)?

Maybe "Captain" Kirk's five year mission and not "Admiral" Kirk's five year mission (between TWP and TWOK. I also give enought time between TFF (which was just after TVH - really 2,3,4 and 5 probably happened in the on year.
I think some shore leave and then back out for another 5 year mission - which ended with TUC.

PowerDVD (the full version), or else Hypersnap DX (you can download a trial version somewhere. Use Google). And there's a thread about DVD caps somewhere in the Officers Lounge.

That was before he came back into service at the time of the E-B launching - or was he just wearing a uniform for ceremonial reasons? But in Generations yes, he did say he went back to service. But for all we know - that could have even been during or just after TOS?
Maybe it was after the 2nd five year mission (in the TMP uniforms) but before the scenes in TWOK?

That doesn't work with DVDs.

while we're on the topic, how do you grab a screen from a (non-DVD) video file.. WinMedia Player and DiVX don't allow the printscreen feature to work, and a lot of my .avi or .mpg files aren't supported by QuickTime (which allows you to copy frames)..

I think Admiral Jameson from "too short a season" (tng) was originally retired and he still wore a SF uniform. Unless of course he was reactivated for that specific mission, which also could be the case with Kirk and Co. in Generations.
