That's what I'm talkin' 'bout. I only watched the first of the reboots. Interesting, but it was like sending the crew back to school. It screwed up what should be Canon. I don't care if Kirk is the youngest man to con a constellation class ship, there are very few officers on the bridge of any ship that went to school with "the old man". Now you have an entire bridge crew. Gene would never have put up with it as it flies in the face of all military precedent. The captain has to have some experience under his belt, which, based on this series, didn't happen. Call me a purist. If they wanted to show the Spock-Kirk friendship grow, it was not with them being on the Enterprise under Pike. Kirk served on other ships before taking command. I'll have to Google the exact career path, but I'm sure the crew wasn't assigned to the ship straight out of the Academy.
