Was that in question Reno being an instructor would seem proof enough that it was after her time on Discovery.
Kurtzman has made some nebulous comments about there being some overlap, so I was open to the possibility that this was happening between seasons or during season five or something.
I wonder if the production staff just couldn’t make up their mind to begin with honestly, because if you look close at Lura Thok’s personnel file from E01 it says she’s born in 3145 and is 50 years old, so you’re back to 3195 again.
Personally I don’t really trust relying on stardates for years in this future era since DIS wasn’t really consistent about it, so I’m hoping someone will actually cite a year out loud at some point and get rid of the wondering.
In general, I’m a firm believer in “stardates were made to be nonsense, and should be treated as such,” but they’re fun to puzzle over once in a while.
