[QUOTE]Originally posted by Futurama Guy: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [qb] Manticore gets the "actually read the post" prize! Whereas Futurama Guy gets not only the "silly fool who hasn't read the post" booby prize, but the "pointlessly quoting the post [i]directly above[/i] in it's entirety when you are just replying to the last line of said post" prize of extreme stupidity. [/qb][/QUOTE]Yes, thank you PsyLiam, and no shit newbie-whatever-your-name-is. However, I was pointing out that it was the very statement in your contradiction -- "Therefore, it is (duh) non canon." <center>and</center> "It makes the bits mentioned canon." -- which obviously it cannot be both, and simply that the latter is all it really should take to make TAS canon. Now granted it is really late and I seem to be a one man army, none the less I would like to think the following has some merit: If TAS was intended to be not canon, then it should treated as such and be left exactly at that: ignored and forgotten. However, when some of TAS, no matter the amount, becomes written into a subsequent show/series, therefore acknowledging it -- those TAS elements are now considered canon, no? If those elements are suddenly recognized and considered "fair play" or valid, then might not it all as well be considered valid? I can think of a number of instances where this logic plays into my everyday field of work/study, however, not in the context of this argument. Regardless if TAS is taboo canon or non-canon, it [b]has[/b] been acknowledged, it is therefore fact and should be accepted as such, or not at all, but not both. Afterall, its creation [i]was[/i] approved in the first place by Gene, no? Somehow I don't think there was any part to its approval that included, "we'll do it, but it doesn't count". TAS only became noncanon when it was nixed out by Genes amended little "Rule of Spite", where since enough undermining has occurred to somewhat rescind that "rule" over the authenticity of the series. It was initially designed to follow what was already begun in TOS, and should have been left at that, corny or not, because it has since been subsequently validated in other stories making it too easy not to ignore. Only if Gene wasn't such an ornary bastard.... :rolleyes: [/QB][/QUOTE]
