[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ryan McReynolds: [QB] I'm not saying canon should be ignored altogether... but [i]Star Trek[/i] is entirely subjective. A given fan may not include even the real canon in his "personal canon;" Gene Roddenberry himself didn't include [i]Star Trek V[/i] in his... but it's still a part of the canon. Another fan may include far more than the real canon. That's the point: there is no "truth" when it comes to fiction, particularly a fictional setting as diverse as [i]Star Trek[/i]. Canon can and is used as common ground between most "personal canons," but there will never be an objectively agreed upon version of which parts to include and which parts not to. From a fan perspective, I think canon is best defined as this sort of common ground for discussion. It comprises the things that everyone has generally had access to, the things about which there is the most material to work from. I [i]don't[/i] think that anyone should pretend that non-canon material has any required bearing on canon, but there's no harm in mentioning it as long as nobody gets any faulty ideas. Speculation is speculation, whether done by we the fans, by Mike Okuda, or by a novelist. [/QB][/QUOTE]
