[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ryan McReynolds: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Veers: [qb]Wow, Mr.Siegfried. I understand that a lot of Okuda's writings in the encyclopedia were conjecture. But if we can't rely on some of the information he gives, then we'll ust be speculating forever when TOS took place.[/qb] [/QUOTE] Actually, we won't. In "Q2" (VGR), Icheb states that the five-year mission ended in 2270. "Trials and Tribble-ations" (DS9) puts the middle of the second season right around the 2267-68 boundry. So we know pretty conclusively when TOS is set.* It's set right where Okuda said it's set, with the five-year mission moved one year forward from his conjectural 2264-69. You were probably just saying that offhand, but it's actually another great example of Mike Okuda's conjecture not being what is ultimately used. He's just a fan like the rest of us when it comes to writing the books... a fan who also happens to draw pretty pictures. <drools>Mmmm... Okudagrams... :D -=Ryan McReynolds=- *There are two other retroactive references to the five-year mission that slightly conflict with this. "Sarek" suggest that TOS season two was in 2266, but the "Trials and Tribble-ations" reference is more precise and I prefer it. Finally, "Crossover" (DS9) suggests that TOS season two was after 2271, "less than a century before" the episode. It was spoken in the mirror universe, by a member of the Alliance, and could be in Cardassian, Klingon, or Bajoran years, if we want to rationalize it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
