When and how did the idea of "Star Trek" canon develop?

[QUOTE]Originally posted by MarianLH: [QB] The story of GR's relationship with FJ is long and gory and probably best told in Greg Tyler's (of The Lost History of Star Trek website) 1999 interview with FJ's daughter, at http://www.trekplace.com/interviews/fj-kdint01.shtml. The short version: FJ didn't understand how the TV industry works, and GR didn't understand engineers, so they both all unwittingly stepped on each other's toes. Then Paramount more or less took Star Trek away from GR at just about the same time FJ's stuff--for which all royalties went to Paramount, not GR--was breaking every sales record in the publishing industry. It's like a latter-day Greek tragedy. There isn't really a bad guy so much as bad timing. And it's a shame, too, because FJ had some really cool ideas. His vision of the Federation was much less humanocentric, for one. Marian [/QB][/QUOTE]
