if kirk went from being a cadet to a captain within three days i would really have to kill someone.

yeah the only way i was able to enjoy the movie was by constantly reminding myself that it was an alternate universe. even then, i only thought that it was so-so.

On the second view, I think there is no reason to think it was only a few days. Pike would not look so "good" if it was just a couple of days. He had a stupid bug thing on his brain stem or whatever they said. That must take a while to get over....

Also, it's the future, but these are still humans we're talking about. It would take forever for the bureaucratic planning bullshit stuff to go through.

Favorite thing about the movie this time? Spock's coat! It's got what looks like coconut patches on the shoulders, but they zip up into a bowl!!!! Classic!! I want one!

tara says the novelisation says it's a few weeks -- everybody goes back to class and finishes up and the end is hwere they're getting their commissions. which still leaves us with kirk being being promoted from cadet to captain in a matter of weeks. um.

i was about to say "well go to vulcan and get one!" but then i remembered. ;____;

actually, except for Spock, who seems to get demoted or stay the same, they ALL get promoted in a few weeks.

I wonder about having an entire crew of 20-somethings = wise?

And don't worry, I'll find a way to get a bowl coat. IT WILL HAPPEN!
