[QUOTE]Originally posted by Masao: [QB] As many others here likely have, I've become tired seeing battles about what is and is not considered canon. The term canon has unnecessary religious connotations and is used to bash others over the head. It also divides the material too inexactly. I think we should use another term and maybe think of Trek materials in another way. Maybe we should consider anything appearing in a TV ep or in a movie on-screen evidence, primary material, or primary sources. Anything written about or interpreting on-screen materials, such as encyclopedias and chronologies, officially liscenced or not, would be considered secondary material or secondary sources. Behind the scenes information, quotes from scripts, rumors from model makers, would be called what they are but not labeled "canon" or "noncanon." Something like the animated series, which appears onscreen but has not been considered "canon" would be "not considered part of the official universe" (or something like that) Any other suggestions?
