/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

That said, I’m surprised that there are 900 episodes and nearly 840 hours. Considering most of those episodes would be about 40–45 minutes, and a decent chunk are half that length. How can it be more than 675 hours. Unless I’m missing something, either the OP is a severe understatement, or the CBR article is a severe overestimate.

One thing you might be missing is that commercial breaks used to be shorter back in the day, so TOS episodes are 50 minutes long.

That's very interesting, I didn't know that.

But it still only brings us up to 750 hours even if all 900 episodes of Trek were 50 minutes, from TOS through the TNG era and the three animated shows.

Is the "900 episodes" figure counting two-parters as one episode or two?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Great question. One would hope it counts them as 2, but who knows.

There aren't that many two-parters anyway, are there? I can't imagine it would make up the difference.

There aren’t that many two-parters anyway, are there? I can’t imagine it would make up the difference.

My thought was that the extra few minutes of TOS episodes, the added time of two-parters counting as one, and maybe another factor or two we haven't thought of yet would add up to account for it.
