So, all that Trek episode produced by people no longer "in power" are non-canon as well now?

Trek episodes are automatically canon. Books aren't. The Taylor books were only canon because she was a big-wig at the time. Now she's not.
It's fairly irrelevent, since they aren't likely to have Janeway's past feature on any new episode of Trek for, well, ever, but I'm pretty sure the producers said in season 6 that they don't really pay attention to the books anymore. I doubt that most of them had even read them.
If you must, I can see them being put in the same "sort of" canon catagory as Yesteryear, but it's still a highly pointless argument.

So basically they are as canon as they need to be to clearify a vague episode-spoken backstory as need be, as the case with TAS and the references to both "yesteryear" and uhh.."time trap"....

Yeah. It comes down to how much of a fan the writer of the episode is, as in the case of Ron Moore's dropping of TAS references, and the fact that Okuda and co really like "Yesteryear".

I never got the impression that Ro's earring really violated, in itself, any Starfleet dress code. Just that said code is, within limits, up to one's CO, and Riker obviously had issues with her he did not have with Worf. He's lucky she didn't complain to somebody higher up. Would have made a thrilling episode of Starfleet: JAG.

Besides....Roker really couldnt saw anything about Ro after he fucked her and all.
Edit: that was supposed to read "Riker".

Wow. My usual lackluster typing skills take a drastic downturn after thriteen hours of work.
And the thought of Al Roker bedding Ro Laren both sickens and amuses me. I salute your depravity, sir!

At least Worf advanced to a meaningful character. In the beginning his only responsibility was to walk over and slap the Alien BadDUDE-du-jour a couple of times so that he could be knocked backward a couple hundred feet to show just how bad the alien was.
