Star Trek: 10 Things You Need To Know About The Lost Era

"speed of light club"
Much special
Very accomplish


Wasn't it everyday life way before NX-01 for many civilians?

Doesn’t “Tapestry” take place during the Lost Era in a way?

Exploring companion galaxies makes no sense when so much of the alpha and beta quadrants remain unexplored. It'd be like Lewis & Clark deciding to explore Antarctica instead of the western portion of the North American continent.

There was another Lost Era, between TMP and ST2:TWOK.

Picard was a thing for old black women

the fact you guys still think that section 31 thing is ever going to happen, shows a hope that no one else has.
because let's be honest, it will never happen. and it wouldn't be watchable anyway.

I’d like to know about Saavik’s later career. (Kirstie Alley version, please.)

Data couldn't have been "class of '78". Wesley in the S2 ep.- The Schizoid Man stated - "Your age? Data, chronologically, you're not much older than I am". Data having stated the S1 ep. The Neutral Zone took place in 2364 would make not only make Wesley's comment on Data's age be invalid but also Data's claim of graduating class of 2278. In Generations, Data also technically states his age as 34 - “For 34 years, I have endeavored to become more human, to grow beyond my original programming. Still, I am unable to grasp such a basic concept as humor.” Data's Generations comment would align with Wesley's comment 6ish years earlier that the two were close in age. Memory Alpha states the ep Measure of a Man entered the Academy in 2344 and graduating in 2348. It later adds the ep. Conundrum has Data's personal files listing his Academy dates as 2341 and 2345. Even this would be hard to explain that in 19 years of service Data only reached the rank of Lt. Cmdr. (using 2364 as the S1 end date).

Overload

Have we all forgotten that A D. is supposed to precede the date?

We need a Picard star gazer series.

What if Uhura was both in Intelligence and the Academy at the same time? Helps to have a cover job during your early years of spy work, no?

The Lost Era, more like the "Rediscovered Country"

Can you imagine "Captain Harriman", taking the Kobyashi Maru Test? NO.

That ain't Ellie Littlechild!🤣

Young Picard is supposed to have hair. Just one of the many baffling mistakes Nemesis made.

Give me a series set during the Eugenics Wars!

So Uhura was to assign a mission to a young Picard about the Borg. How does that work, if he's young, he and Starfleet haven't met or encountered the Borg yet? This shit comes off as the worst low-grade fan fiction in some cases, not all, but definitely stuff like this.

prior-the-presumed-death-of-captain-Kirk

Seems Ellie could do with a shave 🤣

one thing I really hope we get with more coverage of the lost ere is a dispersion of the failed transwarp notion it didn't fail it rewrote the understanding of warp and became the new standard

I have a headcannon that Roddenberry was a time traveler from the future but was just like a D student so couldn't actually advance technology but he could write about the sort of stuff humanity was up to. But, again D student, he got none of the dates correct and some major details wrong - sanctuary cities / sacntuary districts for example; when the cellphone was invented. But he bullshitted his way through federation high school before being sucked back in time, so he could at least write fanfics about space life!

Mind you that has to ignore everything to do with his actual life, many quotes, and the facts governing some decisions like "the transporter works like that to save money" but hey if he wanted to be in the story he could be ...

"Miracle worker" = multiply repair times by a factor of four.

We need the gap post DS9 filled more than any era imaginable

I would’ve loved to see Captain Sulu with first officer Chekov and their shenanigans. I bet they would’ve loved pranking fresh ensigns

For once in your "didn't know" videos I actually didn't know anything that was presented because I have not read any lost era books.

For appearing in a single episode of TNG, Rachel Garrett has a surprising amount of fiction dedicated to her. I hope Tricia O'Neil is happy about that.

Harriman was also in charge of designing the Ambassador-class and its sequel, the Narendra-class.

Harriman also was responsible for designing the Ambassador-class and its sequel Narendra-class.

I haven't read any on the Lost Era books, but just assumed Harriman's less than stellar performance as captain was just a case of being star struck.

Why not just make a Lost Era TV show, which involves different stories from that period of time, each week could be a different story, or they could get a two parter then the next two part episode and so on.

Ellie must've lost her boobs and grew a pretty magnificent beard......

Section 31 SUCKS. 'Nuf Saud. It was just a few people. They make it seem like it's an actual section of Starfleet. Whatever. As if my input matters in a multimillion dollar franchise (for now)...🙄

I HATE the Section 39 idea. It was just SO COOL before! So limited; so regimented. Like, it was only a few [hundred?] people? I don't know, man. All I know is that it's being run by corporates. 😞

I wish a video game of Trek could be something like Elite Dangerous, but of course I could see how this could be problematic. Maybe let players form there own renegade ships separate from Starfleet? I don't know. But the threads are there... 😉😎

... will we FINALY see the Kzin in live action?!
They were in The Animated Series, and we have them in Lower Decks, and several series have ALMOST gotten to show them but never quite got to them.

Wouldnt the enterprise c crew know about data?

I'd like to see a lot from the Lost Era... I don't want to see anything from KurtzTrek

In DS9 it is made that Section 31 is supposed to be like the CIA. in Disco Section 31 is a part of Starfleet that everyone knows about. I like the DS9 version.

It was Chateau Picard, not Dom Perignon.

I think it would be interesting to follow the enterprise c, especially since we all know how it ends

This isn't Ellie.... which brings me to my question. What happened to the other trek culture hosts? Would be nice to have some variation again...

Ellie, there's something different about you today. lmao

We have the technology now... there is no excuse. Give us some freaky crystal spiders challenging folks to shirtless duels with monoblades!

To this day I hate that they cast Cameron Frye as Harriman.

You mention that Data gave the first specific date in the Star Trek universe. However, in Star Trek II Wrath of Khan (made in 1982), there's a scene fairly early on in the movie where McCoy gives Kirk a bottle of Romulan Ale for his birthday and Kirk mentions the vintage year as 2283. This is confirmed in the Memory Alpha/Beta Fandom.

Something that i have heard often about and it finally dawned on me where it came from….. we often hear in star trek about its “five year missions” and i think i know where this comes from ….. ever since the US navy adopted its “11 carrier navy Policy” its carriers on peacetime Deployment typically planned for a roughly 1/2 year cruises for its four ship on deployment, 4 more ships at the docks recovering from or preparing for their last or next forward deployment , one involved with a training cruise, one involved with short term drydock service, one involved in long term drydock service ….
Five year missions are simple the Half decade equivalent to a typical half year peacetime deployment

When I was a kid, the era between TAS and TMP was called the Lesser Interregnum. The time between the movies and TNG was the Greater Interregnum. Or, simply, the Interregnum.

It's biblical terminology referring to the time between the old and new testaments.

I've also heard "interrestimonial period" to refer to the gap between movies and TNG

I always imagined the cardassians arrived at Bajor and were initially friendly offering higher tech and trade deals, and bit by bit over several years took more and more advantage of the bajorans, requiring outposts and stations to "facilitate" the relationship and eventually started replacing their government and military affairs until eventually launching a full scale occupation, which then lasted 50 years
