A small change to the "Manhunt"

[Lakenheath 72]

I noticed a small change made to the "Manhunt" when I was watching the episode today.

In the older versions, Jean-Luc Picard said, Setting, San Francisco California, United States Of America. The year, 1945 A.D. The office of Dixon Hill, Private Investigator.

The year has been changed in the latest version to 1941.

As we can't see Picard's full face, just the side, no one can lip read the character and know that he spoke 1945.

The wrong year has always annoyed me, and I glad to see that they made this change. This is the kind of change I approve.

Are you talking about the remastered Blu-Ray episodes of TNG?

 

[Lakenheath 72]

I am talking about the version available through Paramount+.

I don't get it. Why is 1945 "wrong"?

Where were you watching this "older version" exactly? I can't speak for the VHS version, but I just checked and it's definitely 1941 on the Blu-ray from 2012, the U.S. DVD from 2002, and the UK DVD from the same era.

Incontrovertible proof of the Mandala Effect.

The Mandela Effect is when many people all have the same false memory.

Chakoteya says 1945

 

[Orac]

Incontrovertible.

Chakoteya says 1945

So does the script. The question is then, where is this version that OP and Chak had access to?

I'm pretty sure it was always 1941. Those Dix stories mentioned things like Dimaggio's hitting streak and staying out of the war...
