little things like that irritate me. Sometimes the desire to only have younger people in movies bothers me too. But I'm confused. they said McCoy is a "medic", not a doctor? What does that mean? Is he still in training? Will Kirk be a captain in this movie? If so, the lower age range of 23 is too young, though of course I guess they can get a younger actor and simply say he's late 20s or whatever. how old was Kirk when he became captain? Picard was 26 - 28, and that was one of the youngest in Starfleet history. Of course, that Sister--Triala Scott--was stated as being the youngest captain in all of Starfleet history.
-------------- Original message -------------- From: Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I don't get that either, Keith. In the Navy, doctors/surgeons are usually older when they become officers, because they're coming through OCS after they've completed their medical studies, which usually makes them 3-5 years older than an officer of corresponding grade.

And since when is "Bones" McCoy the same age as Kirk? -------------- Original message -------------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tracey de Morsella wrote: Halle Berry of course. just kidding.
