Did Robert Beltran sneak into your house one christmas and steal all your presents?
Oh, and about: "Who ever heard of going up the ranks by staying on the same ship for 10 or 15 years with the same people by your side. who ever heard of two or three captains on the same ship "
I know this is crazy, but whoever has heard of a ship that travels through space meeting aliens who understand English and wear trousers?
Sorry, it's just not something that bugs me. People keep comparing it to the real (US) navy. Well, duh, it isn't. You don't get rid of characters because "that's what they do in the military", and you don't kill people off just because you've got too many people running about. Why'd they have to have them all in the movie anyway? Why'd they have to have any of them? The writers will just pick what characters they want to use, and use them. And then Brent and Pat will ask for lots of money, and they'll drop the cameo's, and then they'll add in more "boobs" jokes, and you've got a classic on your hands.

The thing I want to know is, in all the modern day stories of encounters w/ extraterrestrial life, why don't any of them wear pants? When humans start visiting other planets, are we going to do it in the nude, too?

In Trek, everyone is well known and aquintated. Even the Kazon in the Delta Quadrant seem to know who humans are. When Janeway walks up to the Kazon leader in the first episode of the series, he doesn't seem surprised at all. It goes as far as that civilizations that are not space faring, or know very little about space, aren't shocked about seeing aliens pass by and stop in for tea. It's commonplace in the future.
The alien philosophy nowadays is that they don't want to frieghten us. Wearing clothes might seem imposing. So instead they abduct us on country roads.
