Would anything preclude a 2279 TMP?

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] There's certainly a lot of wiggle room there. And nothing definite about the date, but plenty of suggestive hints - both for an early TMP, and for a late one... Arguments for an early TMP, 2272-73: * 18 months of refit after 2270. * 2.5 years during which Kirk was not in space, yet he says he only spent five years out there (meaning TOS+TAS), not ten (meaning TOS, TAS and some unseen second mission). * ST3 suggests the Enterprise is twenty years old, which cannot refer to the actual christening of the ship back in the 2240s, and therefore probably should refer to the TMP refit - ergo, TMP has to take place as early as possible before ST3. * Uniforms change completely by ST2, and so do the looks of Kirk and Scotty. Arguments for a late TMP, 2276-79: * Kirk is a friggin' ADMIRAL! And Chief of SF Ops to boot. This must have taken some time. * Kirk could have been yanked to a desk job straight after TOS, and could have spent far more than 2.5 years in that job. "Logging a single star hour" might be something Kirk would still have a chance to do every now and then - just not in the past 2.5 years out of the 5-8 that have passed since TOS. * Pretty much everybody else has been promoted, too. Many have been promoted two steps. * And uniforms and facial wrinkles are just as different from their TOS looks as they are from the ST2 looks. * Klingons are very different from TOS, too... * And there are eleventeen hundred novel and comic book adventures that could better fit between TOS and TMP if the latter were moved to 2276 or beyond!
