[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Why should any of these other captains have performed a five-year mission? Kirk considered having such a mission in his CV a [i]unique[/i] qualification for performing the TMP intercept! [QUOTE]...it's impossible given that "Space Seed" was a first season episode. It's either got to be that TWoK isn't set in 2285, or the 15-year line is inaccurate.[/QUOTE]Well, "15 years" means anything between 13 and 17 years (in contrast with "17 years" which means exactly 17 years). And "Space Seed" may have been a first-season episode, but it was also a 3000-range stardate episode, taking place some time after "Catspaw" where Chekov is first seen aboard. Assuming that the final episodes of TOS (in the 5000 range of stardates) were the final sorties during Kirk's 5-year mission, and this mission ended in 2270, "Space Seed" would have taken place during Mission Year Three, in 2267-68 (or perhaps 68-69). Adding 17 to that would give 2285. (And the two-year margin to McCoy's bottle date would be dramatically preferable, because a single-year difference shouldn't elicit quite that sort of a response from Kirk.) Assuming Mission Year Five was 2270, the 7400-range stardate for TMP would then nicely fit late 2272 or early 2273. But the 8100-range stardate for ST2 would no longer quite fit the 2285 date, and things would go downhill from there as regards the 1000 stardates per year assumption. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
