Talk:Gracie

A disparity regarding Gracie's first calf
In Star Trek IV, which takes place in 2286, Gracie is found to be pregant. It's therefore reasonable to assume that Harpo was born in 2286, or possibly 2287 (not sure if this is specified in The Hero of My Own Life). However, according to the graphic novel Debt of Honor, Gracie and George's first calf is born on Stardate 8730.6, which would place it between Star Trek V (2287) and Star Trek VI (2293); the year has been stated on Memory Beta as 2289.

So, my question is: How should this be reflected in this article? It's not entirely possible to reconcile the two views (for example, Gracie's first calf might have been stillborn, and Harpo was really born 2-3 years later (which would be consistent with humpback whale mating habits)), but any such explanation would be highly speculative. So, I think it would probably be best to write some little note like:


 * It is believed that Harpo was born in 2286 or 2287, shortly after the events of Star Trek IV. This is based on the fact that Gracie was already pregnant before she was beamed aboard the Enterprise. However, the comic book Debt of Honor places the birth of Gracie's first calf in the year 2289, on Stardate 8730.6.
