What TOS-era character could have captained the Enterprise-B?

Apparently tie-in media for Picard claimed Saavik did get command of the USS Titan in 2290. However, everyone forgets that Saavik's birthyear is roughly 2264, meaning she'd be 26 in 2290 and 29 in 2293, all absurdly young ages for someone to get command outside of Kelvin Kirk.

Thankfully, the tie-in media for Picad is even easier to disregard than Picard itself!

Yes. That really pissed me off the first time I saw Generations. The filmmakers expected me to get more choked up about Data finding his damn cat than about the death of James T. Kirk. They just had no idea.

Captain, I suspect JonnyQuest may not have owned a personal pet. Sometimes they can become our sons. And many pets are more loyal than cats.

You could go full circle and give Barret's Number one command of the Enterprise B. But the Audiences would confuse her with Luxwana, and she's probably be an admiral anyway.

I've never been a Barrett buff, even on BEAVER, though I do prefer her Number One to Chapel or the one I called ''Anthrax'' Troi in the presence of friends.
