quote: Charlie X is the 6th episode (produced.. it was 2nd in airing order), not counting the pilots. That would place it roughly 10 weeks (2,5 months) after The Corbomite Maneuver.
But what sort of spacing system are you using? For instance, my first assumption was that one season equals 365 days. For the first season, that gives us about twelve and a half days between episodes. (Assuming that episodes are instantaneous, of course, but this is just for averaging purposes.) But, on what grounds do we make this assumption? One thing that has occured to me is, what if TOS represents the entire five year mission? That is, if from either the second pilot or "The Corbomite Manuver" to "Turnabout Intruder" five years pass?
This whole conversation is the worst, though.

technically yes and no, the German version (ZDF) states in Charlie X that all the easter eggs are fully painted...
they also inserted a six week holiday after "The Immunity Syndrome"
Orig: I'm still looking forward to a nice period of rest and relaxation on some lovely ... planet. ZDF: Und nun werden wir wirklich unseren wohlverdienten Urlaub antreten. Sechs Wochen auf einem freundlichen Planeten. Vielleicht auf der Venus.
Edit: Forgot to mention that the 59.223 days in which "The Paradise Syndrome" happened weren't included in the Okuda Timeline...
and the novelisation of "The Survivor" mentions that it's Christmas on Earth...

"Sechs Wochen auf einem freundlichen Planeten. Vielleicht auf der Venus."
I am not fond of German TV stations and their sickening obsession to resynchronize all things foreign, but that is just the most hysterical bit of subtitling ever.

You haven't heard of "Amok Time"/"Weltraum Fieber" before, eh? compared to that translation a holiday on the Venus (which seems to be terraformed in Trek) is just a very, very minor nitpick...

Now, obviously I am a lazy, lazy man. I also went to one of the few schools in the country that thought Russian would be a more productive language to learn than German. So any chance of a translation? Pretty please?

Well, if you translate English literally into German, it also comes out as gibberish. For example, "Do people talk?" is complete nonsense in German. Or in Dutch, for that matter. That's why they are different languages...

Just to check...are you challenging the multiple-language speaking Harry that you, Mr Tim "One Language" Nix, knows more German than him?
