[QUOTE]Originally posted by Boris: [QB] But there's no need to treat books as either completely valid or completely invalid. You adopt what fits the canon and correct what doesn't. Which is better: "Hi Pocket Books, thanks for letting me write a book, but I don't care about all of this consistency you're trying to establish and maintain between your books and between the books and the show, my pals consider only the show to be canon with a few exceptions, so we'll just discard all of your stuff and include all of ours in my reference book." or "Hi Pocket Books, I've been following what you've been doing, and decided that this has to be rejected because it doesn't fit the canon, while this can be accepted." I'm just citing the way things actually work. The writers cannot review the novels because they don't have the time -- hence, only the show is canon (Furthermore, how much sense does it make to give Okuda and Sternbach the status of staff writers by making their work automatically canon? It would be nice if they were staff writers, but unfortunately they're not.) However, that won't stop the writers from adopting a few references from the Encyclopedia, the TMs, TAS, and other things with the Star Trek label on them. Pocket Books, on the other hand, has been trying to maintain consistency within its products and the show; Alex and Mojo have already told us that licensed Pocket Books sources need to be taken into account for every new book. So why not help out by having ready-made theories that explain whatever can be explained in the licensed sources, just in case someone else happens to write a Trek book? Boris [/QB][/QUOTE]
