[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: So, again, why would you argue that appearance or non-appearance is relevant to the question of canonicity?[/QUOTE]I'm not sure what you think I said, but let me clarify: Nothing about the 7 of 9 character as shown in PIC is in any way consistent with her portrayal in the novels. Because you stated that [b]all[/b] novels are now canon. See next. [QUOTE]Where did you get that? That's not my argument.[/QUOTE]Here's what you originally said: "It's part of the new CBS Canon, along with STD, and that new canon is distinct from the old. The inclusion of [b]all past novels[/b] as canon, even if (as Kurtzman admitted) they are unable to maintain continuity with everything that came before, means the very content of the CBS universe during the previously observed Roddenberry-Berman era stories is wildly different than it was during the Roddenberry-Berman era of Trek." I bolded the part where you said "all past novels." [QUOTE]LOL. That is almost the exact opposite of what happened here.[/QUOTE]How is that the exact opposite? Did you read the novels, or didn't you? Did you fact-check this claim, or did you just slavishly agree with whoever came up with this idea because it fits your bias against Kurtzman? [QUOTE]Feel free to demonstrate otherwise.[/QUOTE]Other people here have already done that. [QUOTE]Can you provide evidence of that claim? Near as I can tell, that just isn't so. Mack went into detail explaining how he created the idea on TrekMovie.[/QUOTE]I can't. That's why I said "I'm pretty sure." Because usually the scriptwriters come up with an idea which is then co-opted in a novel. If Mack came up with the idea first, fine. But as others have said, just because something in a novel was used in the show (i.e. "Hikaru") doesn't mean that now everything in that novel where Sulu was given a first name is now canon.
