    Yeah, but they just needed something good for the "t" that'd been there forever

    I prefer Star Trek canon because it's less convoluted and equally interesting given the amount of episodes/series in the franchise

    George Lucas doesn't consider the EU stuff canon, but most fans do. Not sure what you do with that.

    star trek is all

    even though there are piles of star trek novels they are all pretty much ignored

    heck, even the animated series which starred the entire original cast is considered non-canon

    although ideas from the animated series have entered into the rest of Trek

    like, kirk's middle name being Tiberius

    comes from the animated series

    there were aliens from the animated series in the new movie

    yeah, i noticed that

    also during Enterprise they took some locations and stuff on Vulcan from the animated series

    so it appears the official attitude is "the animated series is non-canon.... except the parts we say are canon. when we say so"

    which is fair, i guess

    no?

    not so far as i know

    there were prequel comics that led up to the movie's story, but those were written specifically to promote the movie

    in fact

    william shatner wanted to be in the movie as part of spock's time travelly adventure

    but they were like "but kirk dies in Generations"

    and kirk is like "but no! i wrote novels where Kirk survives because of the Nexus and he's back now!"

    they were like "bill, we don't really think about the novels, nobody cares about them, it would just confuse people"

    Admittedly, though, resurrecting Kirk wouldn't be that much of a reach

    people staying dead in star trek is like people staying dead in the marvel universe

    totally optional if a writer wants to technobabble an excuse later

    Waaaait Luuke is a real character?

    Honest to god I thought someone was trying to mock me last time he was mentioned

    They told me he was created because someone made a protracted bullshit excuse to cover up their typo

    If you were in the original movies and you don't have a clone running around somewhere, then you probably weren't very important.

    no, I think there were a few books about kirk's early life that they specifically mentioned in interviews as helping them work out the story of the movie

    you shoot your mouth off on subjects you know dick all about pretty regularly

    you just tend to be less belligerent about it

    and when it's pointed out to you that you don't know what you are talking about, you don't scream "FUCK YOU I DON'T CARE YOU CUNT"

    so

    that's good, at least

    but man

    you often are like "hey guys, i have a completely unfounded opinion based on nothing, isn't that cool?"

    makes me frown

    hey, that's fair dude

    i am just teasing you

    i prefer that you just sorta spout off what you think on a subject, even if it might not be the most learned viewpoint

    that's much better than trying to pretend you believe in things so you can be a devil's advocate
