In a press release: http://www.startrek.com/production/startrekx/articles/020602.asp, Berman says that Mulgrew returns to the screen as an Admiral.

Why would she be admiral before Picard???

Cause Picard'd be all like "No way, boyee, Ima Cap'n, and I'll stay a Cap'n very much."

An' Jane-away's a like "Ima get me home, so Comman's gonna done give me a PR promoshun' y'all."

I think there are a few threads that explain this, and have good reasons.

Oh, and I know that Janeway's going to be an Admiral, but some people might not, so your spoiler warning does no good when a spoiler is in the title. Change it please.

Maybe because she brought voyager back from the delta quadrant without destorying the ship, and not losing many crew...

Alshrim ... ? C'mon, you're pulling an MIB. Click edit, change the thread title.

Besides, this is VERY OLD NEWS.

Heck, Picard is too smart to get promoted [Smile]

Well, Janeway really doesn't know any better.

True. We discussed this recently in another thread - Janeway's promotion is likely a PR thing, an attempt at Federation hero-making. Sorta like how they didn't let the first American astronauts like John Glenn fly in space ever again, to preserve them as such. Many people think that Kirk's promotion to the admiralty was the same thing - he only had his five-year mission, too.

Exactly. Do you know how long he campaigned to get that chance?

I'm surprised no one has pointed out that Picard was offered admiral and turned it down, long before Janeway was even a captain.

First of all, Deke Slayton was found to have a heart condition that prevented him from ever flying...

Scott Carpenter did ground work for NASA but took several leaves to work on successive SEALAB projects, turning his attention to inner space...

John Glenn retired from NASA in 1964, so they didn't even get a chance to send him back up...

The rest of the Mercury Seven, however, did indeed fly again, in addition to serving as backups to other missions and performing other ground duties:

Gus Grissom flew on Gemini III before dying in the Apollo 1 fire...

Gordon Cooper flew on Gemini V...

Wally Schirra flew on Gemini VI...

And Alan Shepard flew on Apollo 14.

C'mon Kirk told Picard never to go away from the bridge of the Enterprise.

Anyway it fairly common to have people wnating to stay a captain then become a admiral because being an admiral is a desk job and being a captain is where all the action is.
