I was really offended on behalf of Jean-Luc Picard when I saw the beginning of Nemesis when he received orders from Admiral Janeway.
Picard has been in command of the Enterprise (The flagship no less) for over 15 years, and he was also in command of the Stargazer prior to his tour of duty on the Enterprise. He has commanded fleets of ships in battle and has oodles of experience in a variety of command situations.
Janeway's first command was Voyager and she did this job extremely well for seven years. She has also been absent from the Alpha Quadrant for some time.
Why is she an admiral and Picard still a captain?
