[QUOTE]Originally posted by Futurama Guy: [QB] I have all of the episodes on DVD-R, haven't watched them all yet, but I have them. First off, TAS comprises of like 1�% of all 700+ hours of Star Trek on video. That number is so incredibly insiginificant that it really shouldn't matter if it is canon or not. Nevertheless, I like to think of it as canon just for the shock value, I suppose. ;) It is, afterall "Star Trek", it is on TV, and it is the real actors playing thier previously established characters, so it seems in that aspect it is really no different than the core of what makes TOS, TNG, DS9, etc canon. On the flip side you have the fact that it is aimed at kids and it's a cartoon, other than that and some of the outrageous stories/visuals the pros seem to outweigh the cons for me. Thinking back to some of the outrageous/far-fetched aspects of TOS in say "The Changeling", "Spocks Brain", "Catspaw", "ST-V" off the top of my head, TAS could have done better, but it also produced enough interesting stories or continuation of stories to catch the (so called) canon eye of Futurama Guy. What comes to mind are say: "Yesteryear", "More Troubles, More Tribbles", "Time Trap", "Slaver Weapon", "One of Our Planets is Missing", "The Counter-Clock Incident", and to a lesser degree "Mudd's Passion" and "The Pirates of Orion" all fill in holes or add aspects to previously established characters/aliens that are almost too fun to ignore, kind of like "Where No [b]Fan[/b] Has Gone Before". :D Anyway, to each his own, but that is my take on the subject.
