But, Sulu was going to be Captain of the EXCELSIOR until the events in STII-TWOK caused the ENTERPRISE to return to Earth rather later than expected. If Sulu does not get some kind of command in STIV, I will be very surprised if George Takei is back for STV. I see no reason for a Captain to be a helmsman. (Yes, I know he did it in STII, but that was a special favor to Kirk.) Star-Lord
