[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Bond, James Bond: [qb] ^^^ 18 months is only a year and a half by the way, not two and a half years. ;) 18 months was the period of time Scotty had been refitting the Enterprise while 2 & 1/2 years was the length of time that Kirk had "not logged a single star hour".[/qb][/QUOTE]Yes, that is correct. A small oversight on my part above. The 5-year mission had ended 2.5 years earlier, and the refit had begun 18 months earlier. [QUOTE][b]The first five year mission was from 2264-2269.[/b][/QUOTE]Are you perchance one of those people who continues to argue that first contact with the Klingons occurred in 2218? Or that Zephram Cochrane's warp flight took place in 2061? Those dates, like many in the [i]Chronology[/i], were conjectural and subject to modification based on what came to be revealed on screen. [QUOTE][b]If they returned home in 2269, Kirk was promoted to Admiral, the Enterprise sat in drydock for a year (or was an Academy training vessel or was under the command of someone else, etc.) before they started working on it in 2270, and TMP took place in 2271 then all the quotes from the movie would make sense, no offense to Icheb's research skills.[/b][/QUOTE]I'm not sure I follow you. How would any quotes in the movie make less sense (except Decker's "more than 300 years ago" line, which really doesn't make sense no matter what) if everything you just said was shifted forward by one year? [QUOTE][b]Stardates are hardly reliable but there is one overheard in TMP. [i]One of the barely-audible messages at the Epsilon 9 station mentions a rendezvous between two Federation ships to take place on stardate 7411.4. If you listen carefully it is also possible to make out the ships' names and registry numbers -- scout Columbia NCC-621 and scout Revere NCC-595.[/i] Now it could be a rendezvous scheduled for much later I suppose but I think that gives a pretty good ballpark figure for TMP's date. That stardate corresponds with late 2271. [/b][/QUOTE]Oh it does, does it? And pray tell how you arrived at that conclusion? I'm sure it was a perfectly logical process, considering that Carol Marcus' Genesis report was star-dated 7130.4. I'm sure your same logical system will explain how that date "corresponds" to 2284. -[b]MMoM[/b] :rolleyes: [/QB][/QUOTE]
