A question for Them That Know DS9:

Why in the world would the number of the first episode be listed as #721? And the consequent episodes start at #403 and keep going up.

Buh? (I swear, this really is Season 1. I checked.) So very confused.

*g* Wow, did TNG really have several hundred episodes?

Stardates won't help much with DS9 anyway. Half the episodes list them as 'unknown'.

Seven seasons, 26 episodes a season? (Except for season 2, which was 22 episodes.)

Anyway, each 'year' was 1000 units of the stardate. So episodes in the first season are stardate 41000-41999 and so on, with the second number denoting the season. The rest of the number gives you a general idea of when in the season it takes place. 41590.33 would be approximately mid season.

Hmm. Here's an idea. #721 is probably the production number. Because some of the TNG characters show up, it may have been batched with the Next Gen episodes when in production.

Wow, complicated... I'm sure I'd know all this stuff if I'm ever in the fandom. As it is, I mostly boggle.

I blame Wikipedia. And the Star Trek encyclopedia that I got my dad yarns and yarns ago.
