Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 1x07 - "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad"

[Nerys Myk]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Star_Trek:_The_Original_Series_episodes <-- they're a bit erratic but I do see a pattern. It suggests they're running parallel to TOS now.

From your link:

The progression of stardates in your script should remain constant but don't worry about whether or not there is a progression from other scripts. Stardates are a mathematical formula which varies depending on location in the galaxy, velocity of travel, and other factors, can vary widely from episode to episode.

So the stardates on the Discovery could be different than on the Enterprise and other ships.

It would have been nice if Stella would have had her hair up like in TOS

Didn't TAS have an episode with Stardate 500 or something? It's always been a bit inconsistent.

"The Magicks of Megas-Tu" was set around stardate 1254, which would place it before "WNMHGB" if we take the progression of stardates literally. Unfortunately for continuity the episode is set in 2269 or 2270.

For me TAS is TOS's 4th and 5th season anyhow.

I was under the impression that stardates in TOS era were ship based dates for that ship's particular mission. USS Enterprise running from 0.0 to 6000.0 roughly with each date being a shift on the starship.

The party on Discovery tonight was nothing compared to Jadzia's bachelorette party. Now THAT was a wild bash!

This was absolute shit. It ruined one of my favorite types of gimmick story (the groundhog day scenario), and it made Harry Mudd into a supreme being capable of shit no one could do in a story with an even slightly competent writer (like time loop tech and taking control of a federation starship all by himself). Unless they reveal that Harry Mudd is the half brother of Q this whole episode was bullshit. This was A Night in Sickbay or Threshold levels of bad, absolute crap tier Trek.

They also have an episode (Practical Joker) that should take place during the first season based on the stardate of 3183.3 It's also the episode with the "holodeck".

 

[cooleddie74]

And then stardates slow to a virtual crawl in the twelve years between TMP and TWOK, with the last recorded stardate in the first movie being 7414.1 and the opening stardate for the second movie being set at 8130.3.

Huh? He stole the tech he used. A very Harry thing to do.

Yeah but we don't know if TAS is canon

 

[CaptainMurdock]

It will always be canon to me.

 

[Nerys Myk]

It is.

 

[marsh8472]

I didn't know Harry Mudd is the type of guy to casually murder people. I didn't get that impression from TOS. A thief and annoyance but not a murderer

 

[marsh8472]

It is.

Yea I know you say that but it's just an assertion on your part.

 

[The Librarian]

Personally, I would have just given "The Vulcan Hello" a stardate in the (3)3000 range to line it up with TNG and let someone else figure out how TOS fits in.

He was willing to let the Enterprise crash into a planet because they were in the way of his human trafficking plan, but maybe in the intervening years he got some therapy and calmed down a little.

You're giving "A Night in Sickbay" a bad name. I rather liked that episode.

Best dancing ever!

 

[Ithekro]

Maybe Mudd was a Time Lord. He'll regenerate before he meets Kirk.

Also of course Dax knew how to throw a party. She lived through the 2260s and 2270s. She probably learned from Captain Tilly. Curzon probably knew her as the dirty old party girl captain.

It's a TV show owned by CBS. That's all the proof I need.
