[QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [QB] For example: Star Trek V The writers intended for there to be a great barrier that the Enterprise could reach. The writers didnt intend for the Enterprise to have 55 decks. That was the idea of the graphics crew. But Gene didnt intend for Spock to have a brother. So who should be given the keys to making canon Paramount (who are legally in charge, and are interested in ST making good business sense for them [i.e. the current production is the only one that matters, everything else is just milking sales dollars]), Gene Roddenberry (who is the orginal creator, and thus given the most credence, but disagreed with the way his creation was treated), The writers of the individual episode (Who have a story to tell, but dont really have a clue about the continuity sometimes) The designers and actors who sometimes violate the intentions of all three previous by interpreting something in a wrong/different way in their portrayal and presentation. Because if we go back and ask the writer X of episode X what he intended species X to look like when he introduced him, he'll tell us they had three heads. But then writer Y wrote episode Y and showed that species X has two heads. The original writers intentions are moot, because a second writer, a design team and TPTB changed that for him. Canon and intention become separated. [/QB][/QUOTE]
