[QUOTE]Originally posted by Bond, James Bond: [qb]Paramount can never alter the conditions of what is and is not canon? I seem to remember a couple of Jeri Taylor novels ("Pathways" and "Mosaic") that were considered canon (at least until they were partially contradicted by later Voyager episodes). [/qb][/QUOTE]Y'know, I'm not convinced that they did change their mind. I don't think that "Pathways" and "Mosaic" were ever given proper "canon" status. It was more a case of Jeri Taylor saying "I think this is Janeway's backstory. I am executive producer. I will make it so that no episodes contradict these, and I will drop in bits from these novels in episodes. I rule". And in the same way, when she left Paramount didn't officially declare them "non canon". Rather, the person who was making sure that they were adhered to left, and no-one else cared about following them. And, personally, I can't see Paramount changing it's mind on TAS, because there is no reason for it to do so. Making TAS canon will not make them money. It will not affect anything. And I don't think they care. The modern definition of "canon" was pretty much created with the first chronology, and it's stayed the same ever since. Why would they change it now, just because some people though that Arex actually had a personality? [/QB][/QUOTE]
