SNW Timeline Question

[Jbarney]

Not sure if this has been discussed in another thread, but here goes.

So I am curious about pacing of SNW over 2259, 2260, and 2261.

Based on the stardate of the first ep of the show, "Strange New Worlds" (Stardate 2259.42) the 1st season unfolded in 2259.

My assumption has been that most of the 2nd season also unfolded in 2259. In "Broken Circle", there was a reference to months passing since "All Those Who Wander" and in "Ad Astra per Aspera" Una says that "A Quality of Mercy" was just two months ago. So my assumption is that the 2nd season also unfolded in 2259.

When we get to the 3rd season, in the episode "Wedding Bell Blues" it is the 100th anniversary of the founding of the UFP, so the 3rd season happens in 2161.

So were there any episodes that unfolded in 2260?

Thanks.

Memory-Alpha says the episodes 9 and 10 take place in 2260, but I'm not sure how they calculated that

Among the Lotus Eaters HAS to take place in 2259 if the "5 years since Rigel" lines are to be taken literally.

That means that only Charades, Lost in Translation, Those Old Scientists, Under the Cloak of War, Subspace Rhapsody, and Hegemony 1 and 2 take place in 2260. Then it's 2261 in Wedding Bell Blues. That's probably the fastest a Trek show has covered an in-universe year, I think.

If you go further and take the "120 years" lines in Those Old Scientists literally, then ONLY Charades and Lost in Translation takes place in 2260. I think this interpretation is extreme and unlikely though.

Memory-Alpha likes to take numbers literally.

They take everything literally.

I'm curious if Kirk is a dad yet. He tells La'an in "Subspace Rhapsody" that he's in a relationship with Carol Marcus, and that Carol is pregnant. As far as I can remember, there's been no mention of that since. So has every episode since then taken place in a four to six month window?

They take everything literally.

In this case, I imagine they're following the lead of the Okudas and their Chronology where "a hundred years ago" means "one hundred years ago exactly to the day."

100 years, 6 months, 3 days, two hours, 34 minutes and 17 seconds ago Spock wore bangs for the first time.
