I think most people, even those who think of themselves as longtime Trek fans, do not have stardate to Earth date calculators in their brains, and considering that as far back as TOS stardates were inconsistent, seemingly arbitrary, and even went backwards and still seems all over the place even until now (I believe the premiere of SNW gives both 1739.12 and 2259.42 as the stardate according to https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Strange_New_Worlds_(episode) ), I'd be hardpressed to definitively say that any stardate given without context definitively corresponds to a certain Earth year.
Spoilers Star Trek: Discovery 5x05 - "Mirrors"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
24th century stardates have always been somewhat consistent, as far as the determining the year. The stardate 32336.6 is definitely ten years prior to TNG S2, which used stardates starting with 42 and does canonically take place in the year 2365. And indeed, this online stardate calculator which has been confirmed to be used by the novel authors and IIRC has been used on some of the current shows places that stardate as 2355 as well.
Bottom line, the ISS Enterprise definitively crossed over in the year 2355 and as such can not be featured in the Section 31 move which will feature a younger version of a character who canonically died in the year 2344.
Huh?
What could Rachel Garrett possibly have to do with the S31 movie? We all know Section 31 doesn't have anything to do with the Enterprise-C's fate.
It's a younger Garrett, she's not a Captain and probably not on the Enterprise C so the C's destruction is in the future
We have a Section 31 news thread over in 'Future of Trek' subforum if you want to keep up with news

Some TNG stardates in Season 1 were non-sequential. But in general the freshman year of the show started out in the low 41000s and ended just shy of 41999.
and 32nd Century Discovery was doing fine, until this season. Where they said in dialogue that it's 3191, but the stardates equal 3189
I honestly had no idea that Section 31 was still a thing. I thought it had been consigned to development hell a long tine ago.

It got turned into a TV movie instead of the series. Which has finished filming.
Ok correction. The Discovery 32nd Century stardates have been a mess since Season 4.
Season 3 we got one Stardate which equaled 3188 which is fine, I think it was from one of Michael's flashbacks from before Discovery arrived. But then Season 4 also used 3188 Stardates.

Having a 5-digit stardate does not mean the event took place in the 24th century, or
Stardate 38774 - 2264 Tuvok is born on Vulcan ("Unimatrix Zero, Part II")
Stardate 38325 - 2296 Plaque on Oby VI ("The Child")
that it took place in the 2350s
Stardate 38197.5 - 2326 Commission date of the USS Stargazer (NCC-2893) ("The Battle")
Stardate 30620.1 - 2330s Lwaxana Troi's diary ("Dark Page")

Stardate 12433.6: Today was following a crazy section in the thread about stardates.
Stardate 12429.8: Since yesterday, I've seen even more posts about this topic.

TNG season 1 was off sometimes with their stardates, but from TNG season 2 all the way until the end of VOY, the stardates for episodes (ones spoken during a log entry, anyway) were kept mostly in production order of the episodes. (Those with no stardate/log entry mentioned or just 'supplemental' could theoretically be placed anywhere in that season, but they kept it fairly organized.)
Maybe blinking holos away was dumber. Or filters that let unknown substances in. Or a Kelpien cry destroying all dilithium. No wait, the Klingon fleet stopping its war because Chancellor Mommy threatens to blow up her homeworld.Yeah, the streaming era Terran Empire logo may be THE dumbest thing in modern Trek - period. I'm sure someone thought that logo was clever.
It's not.

Out of all of those you listed, the blinking hologram is pretty tame. All the rest were massively stupid, particularly the one I bolded.
For me, that was THE stupidest one.
Airdate?
Not yet announced, but possibly sometime this year.
Apparently that qualifies as the dumbest...?It looks ridiculous. That's my "how." I just don't like it.
Maybe that was for yesterday but the list of things I find dumb in Star Trek is not usually concerned with logos.
But, that's me.

Drop but that doesn´t mean terrible. It is just that unike all previous episodes of the season, this feel probably emptier than writers intended, sorta only "Micheal and Book opening new location in the adventure game". Both the action on ISS Enterprise and Moll and L´ak backstory fall under many similar scenarios in Discovery - no, its not badly written, yes, it looks good but it has also strong "made by the commitee" feeling.Really liked the new worldbuilding on Breen and would like to feel their presence in Starfleet Academy show but the biology info was confusing at first.
As I and others said, it has some shortcomings on the writing front - "Or unnamed chancellor (reminds me of faceless emperor in season 1), warp pod and Michael making reaching conslusions from reading history files.
