Jack Crusher's Age

[Photon]

If he was/is 23 or 24, then he was conceived much prior the the battle w/the Remans in Nemesis. Help me here.

 

[fireproof78]

Doesn't make sense. Tough.

 

[Awesome Possum]

Crusher mentioned that she became pregnant right before the events of Nemesis, it’s why she left the Enterprise and didn’t talk to Picard.

Blame Bob in Accounting..

It sounded like she mentioned she got pregnant a bit AFTER the events of Nemesis movie.
None of the bits she mentioned were how things happened in Nemesis after all, so I suspect she became pregnant shortly after that.

Time slowed down in 2388 and everyone said fuck it, that felt like four years.

Source: None, but it happened on Earth in 2020

Picard could have been having a senior moment and just said 23/24, which Jack never confirmed. Jack at most would have to be 21. We know that we're before April 2401 due to the Frontier day business, and if Picard and Beverly got into bed in early 2379 right after Nemesis, Jack would be born at earliest late 2379.

 

[Sketcher]

For all we know Beverley and Jack were thrown back in time ten years by the Orb of Time, and had to lay low until their other selves went back in time.

What i don't like about this season, its great, but some of the details are un necessarily fuzzy.
Take 5 minutes to look at ages, and insert dialog to match what the chronology is.

Got preggie during nemesis, so he's 21 now in 2401

Screw it. AFAIC he was born after the events of Insurrection, the events of Nemesis never happened as depicted in that godawful movie, and Picard S3 is now set in 2405.

There, done. I've managed to dump Dune Buggy Action-Picard, B-4, Shinzon's squeaky outfit and Terry Matalas' bizarre inability to do simple math, all into the Voyager Threshold Bin in one fell swoop.

(In all seriousness, this kind of sh*t is exactly why people end up developing their own head canon... )

Terry Matalas' bizarre inability to do simple math

Honestly, if he had just said it was 2411, everyone would have been cool with it.

Picard could be now fully retired (in universe he was just commandant of the Academy like three months ago, but it seems like he’s been out of the game longer - it also makes his talk with the cadets in Ep4 make better sense because he’s now at peace with Starfleet after the events of S1). Frontier Day could be referencing something to do with the founding of the Federation. Seven has more time to work her way up the ranks to First Officer. All they would’ve needed to do was redub in post the “twenty” to “thirty” for Beverley’s period of silence, and everything would probably work better.

He was conceived when the writers wanted him to be and is as old as they want him to be.

With all due respect to Trelane.

I mean that's certainly one way to cope with such easily avoided errors, I guess...

Personally I find my liver prefers it when I apply the "this is stupid, ignore it!" method.

 

[Caeruleus]

It's real mess with some things like Jack's age, Titan's refit, Picard's retirment etc.

I use a Terry voodoo doll...

Only for those obsessed with minutia and thinking its "REEEEEAL!!!!!" Fiction is mutable.

Threshold was specifically referenced in a very, very recent episode of Prodigy. Also Crusher's tirade on why she needed to dump Picard was literally a list of Nemesis connected events involving Remans, praetors, and the Donatra sector.

Wondering why certain details don't add up isn't really minutiae obsession.

Perplexingly, she also mentions the Romulan relocation, which would seemingly push back Jack's conception by years. (I'm just going to assume she's referring to some other Romulan relocation that we're currently unaware of.)
