Paetra Ramos Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Abrams (or the writers) did not do great research on Romulans for the movie. They refer to Nero as "captain" when Romulan ranks do not work like that. They should have referred to him as Commander. Jacob
+ Whale Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 As I recall, the Narada was a mining vessel, not a military ship. So, technically he would be "captain" of the Narada because he wouldn't have any other rank -- he's a civilian.
+ LtCmdr Alexander Richards Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 A more glaring error is the Klingon Birds of Prey as 09' calls them quite clearly being D7 attack cruisers (Kobayashi Maru scene)
Maz Rodan Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 And why do the '09 Romulans all have no hair and tribal tattoo's??
Guest Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 Nero could call himself "Captain" as it's a title as well as a military rank. A captain is simply someone in charge on a ship, regardless of size. By the same token, if a Starfleet vessel was commanded by a Commander, or even by an Ensign, that person would be entitled to be called "captain."I got nothing on the tattoos, though. Alternate future? Or maybe the mining crew were a bunch of emos?
