[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: I've demonstrated that the JJ-verse folks were into the novels-as-canon idea, and we have direct references that Kurtzman brought that idea over to CBS and maintained it. Now that it's ViacomCBS, it's safe to assume Kurtzman will be a (likely [i]the[/i]) very big voice of Star Trek, going forward.[/QUOTE]Give me one example on screen that proves that any of that has actually happened. Show me where a novel or a comic has taken precedence over on-screen material. Show me a CBS press release which states that they've now declared novels to be canon. [QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [qb] The people in charge of the Star Trek shows currently being produced claim that those shows take place in the same universe as the shows that came before. They then apparently put little to no effort into making the current shows consistent with the old shows. How an individual viewer chooses to reconcile that in their own mind—separate universes, cognitive dissonance, etc.—is entirely between them and whatever god/gods/wormhole aliens they may or may not believe in. Not really much point in arguing about it. [/qb][/QUOTE]Exactly. CBS doesn't care about how the show looks. They don't give a crap that the Enterprise, the Klingons, their ships, the uniforms, the technology, etc. looks completely different. They don't care that their new shows aren't consistent with the old shows. They own Star Trek, so they can say that it's all the same when it clearly isn't. But saying it takes place in the same universe can't be argued, because it's their fictional universe to make that claim. If I personally don't like the changes (which I don't), that's my problem and mine alone. [/QB][/QUOTE]
