Star Trek chronology

Make it so.

Enterprise is in the 22nd Century. It is before the Federation is founded in 2161 (although we do see the founding in a flash forward).

TOS is in the 23rd Century about a 100 years later give or take.

Discovery started about 10 years before TOS but ended in the 32nd Century far in the Future.

Strange New Worlds is set a few years after Discovery’s 23rd Century setting and before TOS’.

TNG begins around 100 years after (at one point they said it was 76 years but that doesn’t line up with the dates we are given) in 2364 the 24th Century. Starting with Season 1 of TNG, each season of the 90s-2000 era shows was a year of story time. Not counting flash forwards, Voyager ends in the late 2370s.

Lower Decks is in the 2380s.

Picard is in the early 25th Century.

The TOS movies take place between TOS and TNG (barring time travel).

The TNG Movies take place in the 2370s.

The JJ Abrams Movies are an alternate universe but the Spock from the Prime one helped create it. He left the Prime universe in the 2370s but those movies are set in an alternate TOS era.

They changed like one or two notes from the MP theme to TNG, and now the TNP version sounds very wrong!

Also, I think they lengthened the flyby in the Special Edition. I don’t know how much more they could see, but they found a way.

And all of his fingers.

For now.

It will be a really amazing coincidence if Martin Quinn ends up getting his fingers bitten off by a zombie.

I know that Doonan tried to hide his missing finger because he was ashamed of it, but really, they should have leaned into that, because it was perfectly in character for Scotty to have lost a finger somewhere.

That why people joking call it Star Trek: The Motionless Picture.

I just made the mistake or trying to watch Star Trek: Section 31. I say trying because I got less than half an hour into it before giving up in disgust.

Welllll…..

With 23rd century tech, that can cure artificially engineered diseases that cause huge purple blotches, that magically fade away leaving no trace, or fixing radiation induced senility with no lasting damage, or reattaching all the nerves to a removed brain, then repairing a lost finger should be child’s play!

So theoretically, by the 23rd century, there should be no missing limbs, or eyeglasses, bad teeth. I don’t disagree with hiding an actor’s missing limb.

And I suspect that, by the 24th century, they would have cured MPB.

You were warned.

The show could spring for Nimoy’s ears but couldn’t drop a few bucks for a prosthetic finger?

Yeah, I missed that thread when it was posted, since I didn’t think I was going to be watching it at the time. The only reason I tried to watch it now was because I was bored and decided to catch up on movies I had missed.

If I remember correctly Gene Roddenberry said(in reference to Picard being bald)—“By the 24th century, no one will care.

I’m almost 55 and I still feel bad for making my Dad take me to see this.
