9/10. They keep hitting them out of the ballpark. I thought it was a very TOS ending, with Mudd leaving essentially into supervised custody but still being a huge threat, but he's plot material/spinoff material.

Was nice seeing Stella in TOS type civilian clothes. Burnham's character keeps developing, Stamets and Tilly are awesome.
 
And according to one of the printed Star Trek Compendiums from the 1980s and 1990s "Patterns of Force(TOS)" had a stardate of 2534.0 or thereabouts, one that while never mentioned in the episode itself may have been in the script and never recorded as a line of dialogue. The Enterprise's visit to Ekos happened in 2268, well into the 4000-5000 range in stardates.
Patterns of Force is 2534.0 which should place it between Squire of Gothos (21241.5) and What Are Little Girls Made Of (2712.4)
 
Thanks for the true vision, Gene! It obviously didn't involve clearly seeing timepieces.
 
Wow. Qo'nos is labeled with the alternate names "Kronos" and "Kling." I don't think anyone's called it "Kling" since "Heart of Glory." But at least they put the proper spelling first. Looking at you, STID.

If you look closely they accidently misspselled Qo'nos as 'Qu'nos'

Harry Mudd's master's ticket to operate a deep space vessel was revoked on stardate 1116.4, which would likely predate the events seen in "The Vulcan Hello." The loss of his license may have been related to his capture and time spent on the Klingon prison ship. Perhaps the revocation of his legal ability to operate a ship ended up getting him in trouble with the Empire.
 
If we're going purely by stardate, then episode one is already taking place after Kirk took command of the Enterprise. We know that's not the case, so clearly something else is going on. Maybe in Kirk's time it was routine to drop the leading digit as being obvious, like how it used to be before the 2000s screwed everything up. There's simply no way to use stardates pre-TOS without something like that happening because otherwise you hit zero almost immediately.
