That was awesome ^_^Landslide said:I love that I randomly search Youtube for this and actually find it.
Eh. Close enough.Playbahnosh said:I'm gonna go all Trekkie on yes asses! Stardate is a fluke, it's all made up, it's not even linear. Gene Roddenberry and the makers of the series said themselves, that stardates are only there, because they needed something to measure time in space. It's completely arbitrary and doesn't follow any pattern whatsoever, there is no system at all. They only used it to indicate that something happened later or sooner than something, but it's not exact at all. They didn't calculate the stardate for each episode, they just made up a number greater than the last ep.
Yes, I feel very smart now. Thank you.
Nerd extreme moment. Isn't the Cardassian in that clip played by David Warner aka Ed Dillinger from T.R.O.N.?Kuliani said:There... Are... Four... Lights!

Yea, that. I was just too lazy to memory-alpha it, again.CrystalShadow said:Eh. Close enough.
They have a few 'ranges' assigned, and if you look through a complete episode listing you'll note each season goes up by 1000.
However, thanks to shooting schedules, some episodes are out of order compared to what the stardates would suggest.
The only rule that seems to exist in any coherent manner is that in one year. (earth time, if you're pedantic.), stardates go up about 1000 units.
(as a side effect, you can reverse this, and come to the conclusion that one whole unit is 8 hours. - An observation I found most helpful in devising my own system. XD)
But yeah. On the whole, it's fairly arbitrary. (and TOS and TNG stardates have no obvious way of relating to eachother.)
Yea, sometime I feel like a nerd, tooMeanwhile, as usual, I scare myself with useless knowledge. XD.
Exactly. What's with all the Picard fetish? Voyager is the best. I mean Janeway is the most badassest captain in Trek history. And she is a woman! I mean, she took the Borg head-on, took her crew home from the other side of the galaxy, domesticated a sexy drone, etc. You can't top that...Disaster Button said:Was kidna disappointed no one chose Voyager for anything..

Exactly! I mean the others are good but she is far better. And you can't deny there was something between Janeway and Seven. She also had the best one liners everPlaybahnosh said:Exactly.

Captain Pike escaped from a high security hospital, through one of the few non-sliding doors in Star Trek, in a specialized wheelchair that goes slower than a HoverRound. Janeway may be headstrong, but TOS Pike totally could kick her ass, using one beep for "yes" and two beeps for "no". He's a one-man A-Team - just sayin'.Playbahnosh said:What's with all the Picard fetish? Voyager is the best. I mean Janeway is the most badassest captain in Trek history. And she is a woman!

Dude, when they used the title music at the end, I SO expected his face to pop up as the last frame. Just like the show.The_root_of_all_evil said:Team Hollywood said:Stardate 63215.9, The Escapist Staff logs data on Star Trek.You have to finish on this
