Hmmm... I am toying with the idea of watching my DS9 and TNG episodes in order. And with that, I mean the order in which they were aired (as far as I remember, this is about the same order as the production order, right? The only thing I can remember where it deviates is some Tasha Yar discontinuity). But apparently it's not trivial to find an ordered list with the interleaved TNG *and* DS9 episodes in the overlapping seasons. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Psst... Memory Alpha has done that. [Wink] Seriously; in each episode's article, someone went to the trouble of including a link to the next aired episode, not just the next episode in the series.

Although I can't seem to find an actual list automatically generated, that lists all the eps together; I imagine it should be easy to take the various tables and sort them via spreadsheet. I'd do it myself, but I've got to leave for work soon...

Have they ever mixed things up - where an event occurred in one episode - with a stardate - but was mentioned/referenced in an episode with an earlier stardate (between series I mean).

I guess you can watch TNG... then Seasons 6 and seven interwoven with DS9 then DS9 season 3 interwoven with Voyager season 1.

I think they showed Jem'hadar footage in Voyager once that they theoretically shouldn't have shown (as they were out of the Alpha Quadrant by then).

The only Jem'hadar footage that Voyager would have had at that time (assuming it was before they reestablished contact with Starfleet) was the initial contact and battle with the Jem'hadar invloving the runabouts and the Odyssey.

The episode in question is the one where Paris and Neelix beam down, literally, to Planet Hell. At the top of the episode, Tom is teaching Kes to fly a shuttle, and in the simulation a trio of J'H attack bugs fire on the holodeck sim. The footage is of the three bugs firing on the Defiant in "The Search Pt I". TECHNICALLY this happens before Voyager leaves for the Badlands, but it's still unlikely that ships from the Dominion would end up in Voyager's databanks so soon. OTOH, Paris and Kes were hardly in a REALISTIC simulation, since the shuttle wouldn't have a chance against even one of those things.

Now, DS9 was notorious for NOT putting Stardates on their episodes, so many of them are stuck with "Unknown". Most people simple assume that the episodes are largely aired in chronological order, since continuity is a little more important in general than on VOY.

Doesn't the Chronology state that interwoven episodes were like 2 weeks from each other?

Isn't there some confusion as to when exactly First Contact takes place w/r/t DS9?

I think the problem comes because there isn't a point where Worf is missing from DS9. But then you could probably assume that there was a two week gap in between episodes and it fits in there. The earliest it could occur is after *struggles to remember DS9 episode titles* whatever one it is where Keiko is possessed by a par wraith. I think they changed to the FC uniforms the episode after. I can't recall if there's a Borg mention later in the season, though.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

"Rapture" was the first DS9 episode with the new uniforms. This also became a plot point because when Bashir was found in the Dominion prison camp, he was wearing the old-style uniform.

There is a stardate conflict between FC and DS9: the movie's stardate is 50893.5; there's no stardate in "In Purgatory's Shadow," when the Dominion arrives in the Alpha Quadrant, but Sisko briefly mentions the "recent Borg invasion." However, the very next DS9 episode has a stardate, 50564.2 � which is earlier (or so most people figure) than the FC stardate.

*frowns* I don't remember Keiko being possessed by a pah wraith...I must've missed that one somehow...

Maybe DS9 uses local Bajoran stardate zone, and the Ent-E uses Federation Zulu [Wink]

Last Spring, I began watching DS9 again. Watched almost the entire series, but -- for some reason -- stopped after the first episode of the final ten-episode arc.

(Oh, I remember, 'cuz my DVD player crapped out on me).

"The Assignment." It wasn't bad, because when she was possessed she had a better personality. Or, y'know...one to begin with.
