 Sun Oct 01, 2006 3:07 am Tuvok's age |
|
There seems to be conflicting reports when it comes to Tuvok's age. (My apologies if this has already been brought up) The episode "Flashback" takes place around the year 2293. At that point Tuvok was an Ensign for the first time. In the episode "Alice", Tom and Harry speculate his age and state for sure that he was at least 100 when he joined Starfleet for the second time. According to Wikipedia (never 100% accurate, if at all), Tuvok is apprx. 113 by Voyager's sixth season. But in the sixth season episode "Fury", Captain Janeway gives Tuvok a cake on his birthday and says "so, it's not long before you hit the big 3 digits, hmph?" Is this just script-writers paying less attention to plot continuity than people like us?

I agree...it's flawed...but at the same time, Trek has them. Unfortunately, the people getting paid just don't seem to remember the information as well as us fans...

Hmmm. How about we just say that he's REALLY old.

Soooo when he came on Voyager he should've been 106 or so. However, I don't know how they figured that out, since Pickard is right... they were always playing games with his age.

According to the "Star Trek Chronology" Tuvok was born in 2264.
In the episode "Flashback" Tuvok says that he was 29 years old at the time for the Khitomer conference which took place in 2293.
