"There's greatness in you, but there's not an ounce of humility"

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Picard was only 27 or 28 when his act of bravery was rewarded with the command of the Stargazer.

But Picard was at least a Lieutenant Commander already, when that happened. He skipped one less rank than Kirk.

Pike dying or becoming wheelchair bound because of Kirks recklessness would be as much a punch in his gut as ours.



Btw, the quote in this threads title and included by the OP should prove to scorners they are trying to make this Trek have substantive quality's. It speaks volumes to me of an intended, deliberate evolution.

For JJTrek mockers to say it's simply all sparkle and 'splosions is akin to the same mistakes nontrekkers/bashers have always made; not really paying close enough attention to what they are witnessing.

It's "qualities.". If you're going to be critical at least try to minimize your own mistakes. Just sayin'.

If my experience is anything to go by, a certain number of mistakes only appear after I click the post botton! The little beggers.

Besides, I love your use of an apostrophe in order to show you had "abbreviated" a word that only required one more letter anyway?!
Don't do that on a game show.
