Stardates are Star Trek's equivalent of a calendar system. In the original series and Strange New Worlds, Stardates were not well-defined. They were not assigned in production order, they were not assigned in airing order, and they were not assigned in writing order. They appear to have just been assigned randomly. By the time Star Trek: The Next Generation went on the air, they had decided that 1,000 in the stardate system would be one television season in the real world. But they still had problems getting episodes to air in stardate order. By the second season however, they had their act together. The original series did a good job of assigning episodes a stardate. 93.7% of all original series episodes have a stardate. The Next Generation beat them with 97.2% having a stardate. After that, things go down hill. Deep Space 9 only gave stardates to 35.6% of their episodes. Voyager did better with 64.9% of their episodes getting stardates. |
| Q: | Why does Tasha Yar continue to appear in episodes after she dies? |
| A: | Tasha dies on stardate 41601.3 yet she continues to appear in episodes up to the end of the season. This happens because there were many errors assigning stardates in the first season of The Next Generation. When the shows originally aired, she did not appear in any episodes after her death, but, when the episodes are watched in stradte order she's resurrected because of the errors assigning stardates to episodes. |
| Q: | Why are there two Voyager episodes between Year Of Hell, Part I and Year Of Hell, Part II? |
| A: | (SPOILER ALERT) Because . . . Time travel of course! At the end of part II, actions are taken that undo all of the “Year of Hell”. Essentially, the episodes never happened; the two episodes between parts I and II happen instead. When watching, first watch parts I and II then time travel back and watch the two other episodes. |
