[QUOTE]Originally posted by Zipacna: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: That's not how canon policy works. Just because the creators suck at continuity doesn't necessarily mean the declared canon policy is invalid. [/QUOTE]The problem is that your view of what TPTB are viewing as canon is wrong, and completely skewed. This is what Akiva Goldman had to say about how he and Kurtzman view canon from a 2017 interview: "We are considering the novels not to be canon, but we are aware of them. We are going to cross paths with components that Trek fans are familiar with. We are aware of the books if it’s useful, and if it doesn’t interfere with canon, we may pick from it. One interesting side note is we are publishing a series of books that actually are directly linked to this series." This is completely at odds with your assertion that canon is now an all-encompasing beast that includes the novels, comics, and god-knows what else. Like it or not, canon consists of the eight (nine if you count Short Treks) live action TV shows, the three animated TV shows, and the thirteen movies. Nothing more, nothing less. [QUOTE]Kurtzman is it, currently, and thus now effectively in the position previously held by Roddenberry and Berman. We certainly would've accepted their dictates absent Paramount brass statements, wouldn't we?[/QUOTE]I hope you see the irony in you saying this, given Kurtzman has said so many times that New Trek is in the classic timeline. Ironically as well, Roddenberry tried to tell us that Star Trek V was apocryphal...nobody listened, so we wouldn't necessarily accept dictates that change established policy about what is and isn't canon.
