[QUOTE]Originally posted by Zipacna: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: Why would internal production company stuff need to be portrayed onscreen? Why would novels or comics have to override show or film details for their stated canonicity to be confirmed? Why would I need a special press release on corporate letterhead (will Shari's signature in regular autopen suffice or does it need to be handwritten in blood?), but you don't? [/QUOTE]In a debate it's the person who has made the claim that is being disputed that has the burden of proof, not vice versa. That said when evidence that contradicts your assertion has been posted, you've dismissed it out of hand saying outright that the person "didn't get the memo". Frankly it feels like a waste of time posting more, as it genuinely feels like even if Kurtzman himself were to login & say the novels aren't canon or that the new series are in the old timeline you'd say he's wrong. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Krenim: I am in NO WAY stating that 3rd Gen Trek is the greatest thing since sliced bread. (Mmm... Slice bread...) It has its faults. Boy, does it have its faults. But I don't see where we suddenly started insisting that bad Trek needs to be in a separate timeline. I ESPECIALLY don't get it when people insist on that for things that 1st and 2nd Gen Treks ALSO did.[/QUOTE]Couldn't agree more. I think I can safely speak for all of us when I say that new Trek isn't what any of us would have asked for. It is what it is, though. Yes it has serious problems...yes the discrepancies are annoying, especially as they're completely avoidable if the writers do their jobs properly...and yes, given the choice I'd rather they had made different decisions. But what I or anyone else wants doesn't change the fact that these new series are intended to be a direct sequel/prequel to what we saw in the first five (technically six) TV shows and 10 movies set in the same timeline/universe.
