[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [qb]So I don't pretend stardates as they made it to the screen have anything to do with months and days, but it is kind of fun to watch both series (overlapping) in stardate order.[/qb][/QUOTE]Of course, having them overlap makes no sense, since the ship was refitted with a second turbolift tube and a new engineering section prior to TAS, new shuttlecraft and equiptment such as the life-belts were put into use, and more importantly, Chekov was replaced by Arex and M'Ress joined the bridge crew. It's definitely post-TOS. (Immediately subsequent, by statements in TMP and VGR "Q2".) Gene Roddenberry (not that I place infallible faith in a great deal of his statements, but nonetheless) says outright in sources as early as [i]The Making of Star Trek[/i] that stardates are variable depending where you are in the galaxy and at what speed you're traveling and whatnot. At least, that applies to TOS/TAS stardates. DS9 is a more-or-less fixed point in the galaxy, so its stardates naturally might not vary so much, and of course this ties in nicely with the fact that by the time that series came around the writers were paying more attention to the stardates. Perhaps this is a solution to discrepancies between [i]First Contact[/i] and DS9 stardates? (The [i]Enterprise[/i]-E in the Beta Quadrant and later Sector 001 might have been reading different stardates than DS9 was in the Bajor System.) -[b]MMoM[/b] :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
