[edit] 2152?

What rationale is there to place this and the following episodes in 2152, and the preceding ones in 2151 (for example on this list)? If there is a good reason, it should be added to this or some other article as a background info - otherwise a specific date should be removed from that list. -- Cid Highwind 11:37, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

"Fallen Hero" was established to take place in February 2152, suggesting that at least the two previous episodes were set in January. The date was probably arrived at because the average length between each episode is two weeks, so the two episodes prior to "Fallen Hero" (in early Feb) take place inside two weeks of January (if that makes sense). If I remember correctly, the day and month specified in the episodes are actually the day and month which the episode's final script was written (either that, or the day the actor does the voiceover in post-production). Presumably, if this episode was in post-production in January, then the episode itself takes place in January. That's as far as the "rationale" behind it goes, I think... --From Andoria with Love 12:00, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

That's the answer I was afraid of... ;) Given the fact that there are episodes 3 days or more than a month apart, I don't think that this is enough to support these dates.

However, the info about the mentioned date having some relevance from a production POV is interesting. If you can find a source for this, could you add this somewhere, probably on ENT? -- Cid Highwind 12:23, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

I've been looking for the source that stated it, but haven't been able to find it. I thought I read it on either StarTrek.com or TrekToday, so I've mainly been going through the news archives there. I'll try searching on more here shortly. --From Andoria with Love 01:41, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
