Its not unknown in the military services for higher ranking officers to get high rankings straight after attending academies.
Thats the general rule of thumb with fast track training.
They come out as Officers, but low ranking Officers. Not captains in charge of large ships. But they are not spacemen!

The guy who was Captain of the Enterprise before James T. Kirk. He was played by an actor named Jeffrey Hunter, in the first pilot for Star Trek. The execs didn't like the character, so he was replaced with a character named James Kirk (Shatner) in the second pilot. The transition between the two Captains was never seen, which is part of the timeframe era I believe this new movie covers. Well, actually, according to the original series continuity (that is, actual episodes aired), Spock was originally on the Enterprise, under Pike, long before Kirk set foot on the ship Yeah, the original pilot, under Pike's command. This movie covers that, I believe. (Kirk was stationed on a different ship). Was he? I guess I could look it up, but I'm lazy so I'll just accept it. Furthermore, McCoy didn't get assigned to the ship until sometime after Kirk took over as Captain. On the original series there was a different doctor for the first few episodes. I know there was a "Doctor Piper", which was in the first two episodes (maybe?) of the original series, before DeForrest Kelly was cast as Bones. "Doctor Bryce" was under Pike. Still, nowhere in the show did it literally state that Bones wasn't on the ship and we just didn't see him. Same with Chekhov, he could have been in another department. Sulu was in astrophysics in the second pilot, so he obviously shifted jobs. But, it doesn't matter since... So, obviously, they're using a different continuity than the original series which, granted, was always loose to begin with. Bingo! Eric Bana's character is from the timeframe of Patrick Stewart's Star Trek: The Next Generation. It's time travel. JJ Abrams said this new timeline is an alternate one. The original Shatner-verse still exists. Meh.

In the first twenty-four hours after it was released, the newest Star Trek XI trailer has broken records with 1.8 million downloads. As reported by Reuters, that was not the only record broken by the Star Trek XI trailer. It now holds the record for most weekly downloads, with over five million downloads since debuting on Apple.com/trailers last week. The Star Trek XI trailer is the most popular HD download ever on the Apple site. To read more, head to the article located here. Thats a lot of people who have never been laid! Snarf should take solace in this news!

That new Trek trailer looks fucking tight. I'm liking the direction JJ Abrams is pushing Trek. Revamp-without-Retcon. Damn cool... Hopefully the sucktitude of Fringe means that he's putting all of his effort into Star Trek.

I think Zach Quinto is going to own the screen everytime he gets in front of the camera. You can't beat Sylar...

...Chekhov, he could have been in another department.
Not to belabor a point that I think we're largely in agreement on, but Chekov was at least ten years younger than Kirk. As such it's almost impossible that he would have been serving with "Young Kirk" in the new movie if they were using ToS continuity. However, as you note:
Eric Bana's character is from the timeframe of Patrick Stewart's Star Trek: The Next Generation. It's time travel. JJ Abrams said this new timeline is an alternate one. The original Shatner-verse still exists. Meh.
Yeah, if they were going to do a reboot, they just should have done a reboot. Either that, or keep the original continuity as much as possible. This half-measure thing is unlikely to satisfy a lot of people.

If they hadn't used the Patrick Stewart/CIA chief design from "American Dad" for Stewart I would have had no idea who any of those people in the transporter were. They all look like generic Seth MacFarlane characters.

I was just remarking that these weren't his best bunch of caricatures IMO.

"After the film, the audience was a collective smile, some crying they were so happy" gay Yeah, I mean like Trek and all, but some of those Trekkies have no emotional priority. It's just a fucking sci-fi movie. Not to mention, Harry Knowles just "happened" to be at a "surprise" screening? Riiight. They filled the theater with Trekkies so that they would create an internet buzz. I still can't wait for the movie. But, this kind of obvious marketing trickery isn't necessary...

"After the film, the audience was a collective smile, some crying they were so happy" gay I don't think that the word 'gay' is sufficient enough to describe what that is. I'm not sure any word in all the languages in all the world are good enough. They may just have to create a brand new one.

I am sure the Trekkie gayboys will tell you what it is in Klingon. (ps: Klingon is almost like Klinton, so more proof that Trek is gay)
