[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] "Their belief (or maybe the practice) that the imprimatur of canon can be bestowed like that by TPTB on a gaming system (or a fan work, or a novel) is an indication of the problems with the term." It's not a belief. It's fact. It is what it is. The people who make the show deceide what actually "happens" in their universe. If they want to say that TAS never happened, then we can bitch and scream about it all we want, but TAS will still not have happened in the Star Trek universe. Likewise, it doesn't matter if someone spends YEARS coming up with a timeline that successfully incorporates every single line from every single episode, film, book, and commemerative plate. If Berman says "we're not using that", then they won't use it. And it's just a really elaborate "what if?" Ultimatly, Berman says what is canon, and what isn't. And he says the TV shows, the films, and Okuda's stuff. And he also says that it can be contradicted. That is Trek canon. Changing the name won't change the facts. Canon is canon. And fat people are fat. [/QB][/QUOTE]
