Okay, so yesterday I called out the creators of Lost on some of the absurdities we’re seeing this season (namely the young Rousseu). Today I want to call out J.J. Abrams regarding Star Trek. I guess I’ve been re-reading my Honor Harrington books, and its caused me to wonder about the upcoming movie. My biggest problem is the whole rank thing. Yep, it’s been pretty screwy from the beginning. I mean seriously, just how many commands did Riker turn down? But what rank are they supposed to be? I understand that Kirk isn’t Captain, and he sneaks aboard the
Enterprise and Pike is commanding. But what about the others? Spock’s a science officer, and McCoy’s the chief medical officer. Are they that rank in the movie? Because Honor Harrington had at least 6 different posts before she even became Executive Officer, much less Commander. So are they all lowly ensigns, which would make sense since they just got out of the academy? And if so, then what exactly are they doing in the movie? Because we all know that in Star Trek, the command crew is the ones that do everything. Unless of course the movie goes all Space Camp and they have to take control of the
Enterprise. Just wondering is all…
