[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ryan McReynolds: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by targetemployee: [qb]Now, in the latest version (one of three or four), we see that the events which occured at the Headquarters were prior to the Epsilon Nine sequence (7410.20 is earlier than 7411.40). If stardate 7411.40 is retained, what would be the reason that Admiral Kirk demanded his former command?[/qb][/QUOTE] What's the big deal? Lieutenant Yar died on stardate 41601.3 ("Skin of Evil") but visited Minos on stardate 41798.2 ("The Arsenal of Freedom"). Spock died on stardate 8127 ([i]Star trek III[/i]) but was at Starfleet Academy on stardate 8130 ([i]Star Trek II[/i]). Stardates have always been useless for pinpoint relative dating, even if they might give a general timeframe for events. If we want to use Gene Roddenberry's old explanation of time dilation and unusual warp effects, Epsilon IX is a long way from Earth, moving at a different relativistic velocity, and the rendezvousing scouts at a different position and velocity still. Wherever the [i]Revere[/i] and [i]Columbia[/i] are meeting, it's stardate 7411 while it's still 7410 on Earth. We'll leave the potential paradoxes to the Temporal Investigation spooks. :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
