The interim generations were, sadly, found not to be Trek worthy.
“You are Star Trek, but we do not grant you the rank of Generation.”
How can you be Star Trek and not be a Generation?!
and where exactly are Deep Space 1-8?
We don’t talk about Deep Space 1-8.
I’ll have you know that Mariner saw the Zebulon Sisters do the Chu Chu Dance on Deep Space 3.
DS1-7 were destroyed while under construction. DS8 disappeared shortly after coming online.
Other kings said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show 'em. It sank into the swamp. So, I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So, I built a third one. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp, but the fourth one… stayed up! And that’s what you’re gonna get, lad: the strongest castle in these islands.
Also, Space Station Regula 1 implies there were other Regulas. What were they up to?
It was the first of a proposed 15, but budget cuts led to them all being canceled except the first.
It’s all the same generation as far as Tuvok is concerned.
Lifespans are certainly longer considering McCoy is still up and walking around near the start of TNG. 😒 Keiko being Keiko once again…
Maybe I missed something, but how can it be 85 years apart since Scotty was on TNG.
In that episode, they find Scotty trapped in a transporter buffer.
But they also had a super old Dr. McCoy in one of the first episodes, so maybe lifespans are longer too.
He was like 130 in that episode. He was also the last remaining crewman of the original Enterprise, as far as we know.
But he didn’t feel a day over 100.
Generations and the boundaries for how they are defined is a social construct, regular intervals by years? Distinct by some major event or phenomenon? Perhaps it had been one generation by TNG norms
There were 3 generations of starships named Enterprise between TOS and TNG. Surely that’s the most relevant measure of a generation for Star Trek.
Now I wonder how Lower Decks call the TNG people.
Fookin’ legends
O’Brian’s generation is like 300 years.
