Perhaps they should have made Spock a woman. :-)

Motion Picture is set in 2271 and Wrath of Khan is 2285

That is what they are down as on the Star Trek Timeline

The Enterprise was launched in 2245 under the command of Robert April. Pike had a five year mission in the 2250’s, The Cage would be set in 2254.

The Five year mission has also been down to 2264-2269 in the timeline I read, I say late 2269 to early 2270 to accomadate the “Q2″ line

Greenstar. You’re in error.

If Kirk had a second five-year mission, it was after TMP, not before. The timeline, Chronology, and Pocket Novels Chronology all agree on that.

Most have TMP late in 2272. (taking the real 5YM as from 2265-2270, with WNMHGB in 2265, Season 1-3 in Sep 2266 – Jul 2269, exactly 300 years later from the airings.)

The Future Begins seems to happen before 2265, perhaps 2262 or 2263. Time for a rebuild, and a reconstitution [pun intended] and relaunch under full, not brevet, Captain James T. Kirk in 2265.

Putting TMP any later than 2273 causes serious problems with placing TWOK in 2283.

Hang on there! In fact, the second five-year mission took place between TMP and TWOK. J.M. Dillard’s “The Lost Years,” which is a fantastic book, details the two-and-a-half year span, including Spock’s movement towards Kohlinar and Kirk’s promotion to admiral, leading directly into the very beginning of TMP. The best is a moment where Kirk regards his new uniform, saying the togs look “oddly like pajamas.” It’s a nice bit for long-time fans, because I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone speak complimentary about the TMP uniforms.

The “second five-year mission” is in continuity, more or less, and I think there are some novels detailing that. It would have been 2273-2278, and probably covering the distance that “Star Trek: Phase II” would have covered had it gone into production.

“TMP take place seven years after TOS.”
Nope 2 1/2 years, as given by the dialog in the film.”
………………………………………………………………………………….
Nope :)
Based on information from VOY: “Q2″, which stated that Kirk’s first five-year mission ended in 2270, and information within the film that Kirk had not “logged a single star hour in two-and-a-half years, the earliest the film could take place is 2277.
Kirk had a second five-year mission after TOS. ( 2270. )
