Shots include images of the bridge of the Enterprise, the villain Nero, a ship (not the Enterprise) and all of the crew in uniform.

    Indeed, I didn't even know they were still trying to make a buck from this franchise. :D

    The CO (That's "Commanding Officer") of our boat was a late thirty to a forty-something. An early forty-something. The remaining officers were (junior) sub thirties - One as young as 25.

    There's quite a bit of difference between a hypothetical 30 year old Kirk and a 42 year old officer, so your comparison is invalid.

    In addition, yes, I'm sure you had a 25 year old ensign serving coffee.. dumbass.

    Ranking officers in US submarines tend to be younger than their surface fleet counterparts.

    Quicker promotions have always been a way to get service personnel into higher risk jobs. This is not news.

    Submariners are also a heck of a lot smarter.

    Doubtful. Yes, I've met Navy COs with degrees in nuclear engineering and I've met a few nuke techs, but no, you're not all rocket scientists across the board.

    As a matter of fact, submarines are not run quite like surface fleet ships. Knowledge tends to drive submariners - not rank, so much. I've told junior to mid-ranking officers to go eff themselves after they've issued me a command to do something that they didn't realize would have disastrous consequences. When they complained, the senior officers told them to shut it, lest the rest of the crew loose more respect for that officer because of their lack of knowledge.

    Please.. I have friends who are warrant officers who tell the commish crew to get bent on a daily basis. Again, this is not a submarine thing... it is a common sense issue.

    In conclusion, yes, 30 is a bit young to CO a hypothetical star ship, no, submariners aren't "all that", and yes, you are a douche.

    Yeah, no kidding. Poor Quinto has pretty much a ruined career, because EVERY time I see him on screen I'll be thinking, "Can't trust him! That's Sylar! Kill him now or it's gonna get worse!!!"

    Over?? Not with how bad Heroes SUCKS. No way is he in danger of being typecast as Sylar in the long run. Nobody watches that waste of video tape anymore!
