[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Bond, James Bond: [qb]I'm well aware of the non-canon status of TAS at Paramount. I was offering my opinion. Or are those not allowed either? [/qb][/QUOTE]You can't offer an opinion over what is "canon" or not, in the same way that I cannot offer an opinion over what elements water is made up of. Canon is strictly defined. It is not open to opinion. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Futurama Guy: [qb]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. [/qb][/QUOTE]It isn't a contradiction. You are arguing is akin to saying that because some bits in the Titanic movie were true, everything shown during the course of the film actually happened. Omega already argued why you are wrong, but to expand upon that: There have been references in Trek to Star Wars (Alderaan on status charts), Bukaroo Banzai (Excelsior's motto), and Back To The Future ("Flux Capacitor" mentioned, gravestone showing McFly). By your logic, all those things are now canon in the Star Wars universe. To repeat: The bits from TAS that have been mentioned are now canon, but not in a "they happened the way they did in TAS" sort of way. They are only canon in the details that have been directly said out loud on filmed Trek. All the other bits are not canon unless and until they are mentioned. Also, -100 points for pointless bashing of new posters. [/QB][/QUOTE]
