What was Seven's rank?

[Guy Gardener]

i think officer and chief ranks can only be given to starfleet graduates, a captain might grant field promotions as they did plentifully in ds9's valiant.

Alternatively, as was the case with the Maquis aboard Voyager, a captain has the discretion to issue provisional ranks, regardless of whether the individual receiving the rank graduated from Starfleet Academy or not. Seven should have been issued a provisional rank, just like the Maquis.

But did she want rank?

Neelix and Kes didn't want to drink the coolaide.

The Maquis were convict labour and she would have left behind or jailed any one that didn't accept conscription not that up till they accepted janeway as captain that captain Chakotay was within his rights as a terrorist to beat and murder his crew until they accepted Janeway's Captaincy.

Why wasn't Janeway insisting on forcing/coaxing/suggesting/nudging Seven into the command structure? (Would he same patterns hold true for Naomi coming of age? "No, I don't want to be an engineer! I want to be a poet!!")

The academy might have been a four year course but boot camp for enlisted personal might be on par with the current Military's basic training process and be what? 13 to zero weeks.

Worf back is bone.
We have technology that replaces bone in this day an age too.
We do know, cloning is possable but he wanted to use Odo to create organs more adaptable.

It was an episode about how Worf would rather commit suicide than be a gimp, but he'd rather both than allow his son to participate in the ritual suicide ceremony. Alexander had to hand him the knife before Worf topped himself.

The science is weak when the story is weak.

I would assume Eugenics and Khan was the ultimate result of stem cell research.

Stem cell therapy doesn't so much improve things as puts things back in genetically intended condition, more like a cellular reset.

except that priests don't get paid

Military chaplains do get paid.

Khan fled earth in 1996.

Whatever "made him" was 1970s technology.

Pulaski fiddled with Supermen and a bunch of regular humans died.

Yes but this is science fiction where even the dead can come back to life and boots can also be cherry pie.

BTW, your new avatar is beautiful.

While that could be true, the Millenium Gate kinda suggests the Trek universe isn't exactly our own anymore.

They've been planning a Mars mission for decades, and what's so special about a biodome mall?

But yes it's only "approximately" the same earth up to a point and 1999 is as good a moment as any to say that EVERYTHING after that point is completely made up even stuff that still might resemble... I don't recall anything glaringly divergent with the Earths technology as viewed during ENT: Carpenter Street?
