a touch young!
By Terry212

Well, she's a bit young for a first officer! 28! The pic in the article makes her look 20, although one of the Alias pictures where she has darker hair and sort of business-causal attire makes her believable as somewhere in her early 30s. I think this might be a dicey move. She's about the same age as Young Kirk and Young Spock, the actors, whereas she was no spring chicken in the Cage and she should be firmly in her 40s by the time of Trek 11. I guess Majel was about 34 when she appeared in the Cage, so the character should be about 40 or so, right? 28 is a bit of a stretch. Of course, this is just using the actors' ages and it's nothing that's canon, but it's just a bit weird to make a first officer so damn young. She's second in command of a starship with a crew of hundreds. Who would you take more seriously? Riker, Spock, Chakotay, Kira, or Jennifer Morrison?? Too. Young. I've been supportive of the casting news, but I think this is a misstep.
