[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] [QUOTE]First of all, because if it becomes an accepted practice to just plain contradict in novels whatever is seen on screen, all pretense of these adventures taking place in the same fictional universe falls apart. And without that pretense, there isn't much to the stories themselves. And second of all, because Last Full Measure is worse than "These Are the Voyages" by far. And yes, that's saying something. As a distant third, I might mention that the retcon in the novel is embarrassingly clumsy. It would have been far more believable to say that a wizard did it.[/QUOTE]Actually, are you referring to "The Good That Men Do?" "Last Full Measure" is about the Xindi attack, and ***SPOILER ALERT*** Trip's 23rd century bits are just in the background. I just got a copy of "The Good That Men Do" at my local library and will start reading it soon. I'll let you know what I think. As for the "retconning," I believe that this is the only time that a novel's authors deliberately tried to change what happened in an episode, and I believe that they had Pocket Books's (and presumably Paramount's) thumbs-up to do so. And, contrary to Timo's point, I think we all know why. [/QB][/QUOTE]
