[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ryan McReynolds: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Siegfried: [qb]When you stop and think about it, canonicity really is just the measure of what the creative has to religiously follow for the series to be consistent unto itself. [/qb][/QUOTE] That's [i]exactly[/i] it. :D Right around the publication of the Okuda [i]Chronology[/i] and [i]Encyclopedia[/i], however, fans started seeing an increasing amount of non-canon information apparently ignored by not being included in those works. A sort of canon-elitism started, with a large segment of fans growing increasingly obsessive with the distinction (ironic, since the introduction to both books makes it clear that Okuda's usage of canon shouldn't affect the fans much at all). And now we're in the unfortunate situation where people have taken the benign (and unimportant) concept of canon and twisted it into a means of exclusion. Canon has no use [i]at all[/i] unless something contradicts it and you're trying to know which to trust... and even then, it's only [i]really[/i] relevant if you're writing a live-action episode of film of [i]Star Trek[/i], something none of us here are fortunate to be doing just yet. :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
