I was watching Nemesis last night and something kept bothering and then I figured it out. How is it in that each of theses movies Worf somehow manages to show up? Doesn't he have a job to do on DS9? I can understand how he mananged it in First Contact, but Insurrection and Nemesis?

As of Nemesis DS9 was over, and Worf was actually (at last report) the Federation Ambassador to the Klingon empire. Presumably he took some time off and went to see his friends get married. Insurrection there was no explanation.

I suppose that one could argue that Worf doesn't show up for every important event on the E-E. Other important things go on, but they only make movies about the ones at which Worf is present.

There was dialog that was filmed, but cut from Nemesis. It had Worf saying he wasn't suited for life as an ambassador and quit to return to Starfleet and a posting to the Enterprise. On the other hand, since they were at Earth for a short time, they should have had O'Brien and his family at the ceremony.

Stuff not shown onscreen is not canon. NO sane man would consider "Rock Man" canon. TAS is also not canon as it's the product of bad drugs and cat-men with pink spacesuits.

No, technically, it's not, but Okuda and co put some parts of Spock's backstory from yesteryear into the chronology. There's a fairly big difference.

Your definition is strange and confusing, as is your use of full stops.

The glowy God-face thingy is canon. How would TEH RCOK MONTSAR be any worse? B)

Deleted scenes may not be considered canon, but Okuda did indicate the existence of a USS Ticonderoga from Insurrection and we consider that as canon. I suppose until Okuda acknowledges Worf's resignation as an ambassador, that won't be considered canon.

Anyway, an even better reason for not including Worf's resignation as ambassador is that it is a bad move, storywise. (Though, admittedly, it did sort of come out of nowhere at the end of DS9, but one has to take character growth where one can get it.)

It doesn't really affect things anyway, since we're not likely to get more late 24th century stuff for a good long while, if ever.
Well, filmed Trek isn't. I don't know about the books.

The books arent canon mainly because Kirk and company would have to have gad a galaxy-saving adventure every few hours of their five year mission to account for all the stories written in the past 30 years.
'Course, that would explain Kirk's needing the hairpiece: Stress.
