True, but had she show the ability to play a ship's captain yet? Or
to be the center of a TV show? Her biggest roles prior were JR's
Lawyer and she'd just been cut from Lois & Clark after a single

I guess they could get pass her being an Admiral.
Did Ron Moore or Jeri Taylor create the character and would that cause
an issue?
