@youronlyone Early 24th century, somewhere between 2314 and 2344.

@peregrine57 @youronlyone People have counted stardates backward to the film's stardate to hit that year. I think that's dubious though it feels right with how old Garrett should be.

The only hard date reference in the film AFAIK is the Minosian council screen during the mission brief, which in its text mentions a starship lost in 2314.

@fu @GayDeceiver The process was Gene Roddenberry approached Lucy's Desilu studio to make a pilot. Desilu signed the deal with Roddenberry.

Desilu and Gene then offer the idea to networks. CBS passed on it. NBC ordered the first and then a second pilot.

Lucy/Desilu "approved" the pilots in the sense of "yes let's work together to make these with the idea we're going to sell it to a network and make lots of money from doing so". Which is obviously an important part of Trek history.
