Does Bakula have more than one stuntman? I'm told that Vince Deadrick, Jr, does his stunts on ST:E. --Baylink 01:53, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ranks

Where did they come from? An anonymous added them. Cburnett 18:33, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Ditto the above question. It's been a while since I've seen the show, but I don't remember hearing of/seeing any general officer ranks or field officers ranks other than major [Hayes]. Can anyone substantiate whether this should remain as is? EEMeltonIV 16:19, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Not specifically regarding the above, but related: The article compares the "enlisted" ranks to the US military, then uses the rank of major, an officer, as an example. Additionally, should the comparison be in the criticism section as opposed to either the history or ranks (if the section remains)? It seems a statement of trivia as opposed to a description of criticism. 130.160.154.189 21:59, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm taking out the reference to "enlisted" ranks for the reason above. According to Memory Alpha, there was a General Casey at some point; whether he was a MACO or in command of a higher unit is unknown. --68.41.122.213 20:28, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

The information about ranks depicted in the series is fine, but the list of U.S. military ranks is (IMO) completely inappropriate speculation. I mean, it's literally prefaced by "If the MACO rank structure parallels that of the United States Army or Marines" and "If MACO officer grades follow those of the current United States land and air forces". This kind of stuff belongs in the respective articles, not as random speculation on an article about fictional armed forces from a speculative future that may or may not have anything to do with today's military ranks. Of course, removing these leaves the section with so little information that it's probably best condensed into one or two paragraphs under a single heading. — Wisq (talk) 19:05, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
