[QUOTE]Originally posted by HerbShrump: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Zipacna: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: That places TOS approximately from 2268 to 2273[/QUOTE]The thing is, we know from Voyager that Kirk's mission ended in 2270 (as per Icheb's pointless presentation)...so for TWoK to be set in 2285 and to be 15-years after "Space Seed", "Space Seed" needs to be set in 2270 and presumably be one of the final events in Kirk's mission. Unless TOS seasons don't flow chronologically or Kirk took NCC-1701 out for another mission in 2270, 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. [/qb][/QUOTE]What were we talking about again? Oh yeah... Even more interesting thoughts from "Space Seed" and TWoK regarding the timeline. Khan was from the late 20th century (1997). Kirk told Khan he was in suspended animation for "nearly 2 centuries." Nearly would imply not quite 200 years, but we'll go with that. This statement would put TOS in the 22nd century (2197). TWoK opens with text stating explicityly "The 23rd Century." This is the first instance a specific time frame is mentioned for Star Trek. The earliest TWoK could be is 2201. Of course we know that other events and missions took place between "Space Seed" and TWoK, pushing the date even deeper into the 2200s. For TOS to take place in the 2260s and TWoK in 2283 Khan would have had to been in suspended animation for nearly 300 years. (2283-15 = 2268. 2268-1997 = 271 years asleep). [/QB][/QUOTE]
