Those pigeons are not just any pigeons - they are two-dimensional space pigeons! Ever noticed how two-dimensional and/or static the crowd near the Purgatory Bar is? Just look right and down when near the door to the place. That always bothered me.

Nobody calling Shepard a commander could be somewhat justified. Anderson got promoted from captain to admiral, Ashley got promoted from gunnery chief to lieutenant commander etc., yet Shepard was never promoted. So others not calling Shepard a commander might mean that they realise that the official rank is not really appropriate.

About Miranda - reflex, I'd say.
