Actual Year of Star Trek XI

Fish1941

Lieutenant Commander
Red Shirt
What year is this movie set in? I'm not talking about the stardate, but the actual year.

The stardate actually is the same as the year. The part with the Kelvin is 2233. The majority of the movie takes place in 2258.
 
Robau/Kelvin scenes: 2233.

Kirk as a young kid driving the Corvette: circa 2243.

The bulk of the film: 2258.
 
Then what in the hell was Chekov doing aboard the Enterprise as a 17 year-old officer, when he was 13 years old in 2258?

Alternate reality. Chekov is a different age in this timeline.

Plus, he's also something of a wunderkind since he already dons an active duty ensign's uniform at age 17. So this timeline's Chekov is more of an overachiever than the Koenig one.:lol:

My alternate universe theory on this one is that Mama and Papa Chekov decided to name their first born Pavel, instead of their second child. This explains the age discrepancy and why this Chekov has curly hair.

In the prime universe Chekov doesn't have a brother.

Either that, or his career peaked a helluva lot earlier than Koenig's Chekov.

Correct (unless he's under the influence of spinny field-of-light aliens and being menaced by Klingons, in which case he thinks he has one.)

Poor Piotr.

That, or the attack on the Kelvin scared them into...ahem...action a little earlier.

Remember in TOS how Chekov was so easily given a false memory of an older brother, Piotr?

In this new reality, there was an earlier Chekov child, but he got the Pavel first name.

This is your answer? This is it? :wtf: Kirk's age and birth year had remained the same.



In other words, the screenwriters created a blooper, like they did with Chekov in "WRATH OF KHAN" and like the TREK producers, you refuse to acknowledge this. Thank you for your answers.
 
was there ever an age given for chekov in tos??
really that he was younger then expected explains things like the whole russians invented everything.
;)

the only place i could think of is in deadly years and it dosnt seem to
be mentioned there.
but it does have this grear line

CHEKOV: Give us some more blood, Chekov. The needle won't hurt, Chekov. Take off your shirt, Chekov. Roll over, Chekov. Breathe deeply, Chekov. Blood sample, Chekov. Marrow sample, Chekov. Skin sample, Chekov. If I live long enough, I'm going to run out of samples.

Getting a little bored with the "angry interrogator" routine, to be honest, but yeah, that's it.

Kirk's age and birth year had remained the same.
The destruction of the Kelvin and Kirk's birth are the point at which the timelines diverge. It stands to reason that his age and birth year would remain the same, now, wouldn't they? Events happening after that point of divergence -- Chekov's birth, for example -- may occur differently than they did in the original timeline. I'm not seeing the problem with this.

What blooper? What refusal? It's not supposed to be an identical reality. You expect that some things are going to be different, otherwise why bother with an alternate reality at all?

Chekov gives his age in "Who Mourns for Adonais": "Twenty-two, sir."

But that was another timeline.
 
Koenig Chekov was born in 2245.

Yelchin Chekov was born in 2241.

Want an explanation? Ask their parents.
