What's in YOUR 'head canon'?

One more thing for mine: The Orion females do not actually rule the Orion males as listed in Enterprise. That's just what the Orions wanted them to think at the time.
Also, the structure of Orion society is more along the lines seen in the FASA supplement for the old RPG and/or as depicted in the Vanguard series.

As I just mentioned elsewhere, my head-canon is made of bamboo and packed with gunpowder and diamonds. 
The blue leafed plants in "The Cage/Menagerie" have a euphoric effect on everyone,explaining Spock's uncharacteristic behavior. They were still affecting him when he shouted, "The women!" In between 2254 and 2264, disturbed by his reactions then, he underwent some kind of Vulcan therapy (perhaps long-distance, or did a short rotation on the Intrepid) and became more Vulcan than Human again. But he overdid it a little, so he becomes more Human (sort of) as TOS goes on.
Lots of interesting ideas in here. I haven't read it all yet, but I'll just throw mine out there.
There are aspects of early TOS that have to be squinted at or kindly overlooked to all it to be more consistent with what is established later in the series. Additionally there were other classes of starships and shuttlecraft that we (unfortunately) never got to see. In extent ENT never happened. The Federation was founded in late 22nd to early 23rd century. The Earth/Romulan war was a twenty some year conflict as referenced in the backstory of James Blish's adaptation of "Balance Of Terror."
TOS and TAS make up almost all of the original 5-year mission. "Where No Man Has Gone Before" happened about a year or so before the 5-year mission.
Much of the events depicted in D.C. Fontana's novel Vulcan's Glory and certain events from Marvel Comics' Star Trek: Early Voyages title happened during Pike's command of the Enterprise.
TAS is a stylized version of what things look like and what actually happened in the live-action TOS universe.
TMP actually happened about eight years after the 5-year mission seen in TOS (I vacilate on this one depending on my mood) after which there was another mission.
Something like TWOK-TUC happened, but not exactly as we saw depicted.
A lot of TNG happened pretty much as we saw it, particularly the first 3-4 seasons.
I pretty much ignore DS0, VOY, ENT and the JJverse. I also ignore the TNG films as never happening.

I agree with this. It's a bit more a of a twist with the Daniel Craig films since you have to have things like two Blofelds. But in On Her Majesty's Secret Service George Lazenby says, "This never happened to the other fellow." Clearly George Lazenby's Bond is a replacement to the previous James Bond. So they are not the same person. Also Q and M are clearly code names, so why not James Bond? But then again Moneypenny would also have to be a code name.
Yeah, it gets really twisted and sure you have to squint a bit, but 007 and James Bond are code names.
Also, the very first original, James Bond was a British spy during the American Revolution. Why? Because I would love seeing a 1700's version of our favorite super spy.
Also in my head canon seaQuest DSV/2032 is part of the Star Trek universe. Though, don't ask me how.
Well maybe they "happened", in as much as All Good Things... was just one of a series of challenges Picard faced due to Q, with the intervening years never happening, just the films we saw. It would explain the fixation on Picard (Data actually being Q in disguise) and the strange appearance and behaviour of everyone.
Kirk may simply have died saving the Enterprise B, Janeway is just a Captain facing court martial, Picard accepts a second 7 year mission on the Enterprise D, Riker takes a command of his own, etc
But why does Roger Moore visit Tracy's grave? And both Brosnan and Craig's parents died in a climbing accident. (Craig's obituary in Skyfall is from You Only Live Twice,)
Great questions.
But I would love in the next bond film for the new Bond to walk past a wall featuring pictures of Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig.
You know, don't you, that Lazenby broke the fourth wall when he said that. Who do you think he was talking to?
Seriously. It was just a harmless throwaway line, certainly doesn't mean anything.
Ahhh, but it meant something in uniderth's head. That's why it's head canon.You know, don't you, that Lazenby broke the fourth wall when he said that. Who do you think he was talking to?

I *really* hope Idris Elba is the next Bond, BTW. 
You know, don't you, that Lazenby broke the fourth wall when he said that. Who do you think he was talking to?
I talk to myself all the time like that. I'm constantly breaking the fourth wall of my life.
I thought that was normal. It is normal right guys... guys.....
And that's the fun I find with Bond is that there is no clear cut answer. No matter which camp you are in you have to throw away something.
I'm not a huge fan of that line, but I think it's just a meta-joke about Sherlock Holmes being a vaguely similar character to Spock and from an earlier time period, thus being his fictional "ancestor"
Not to mention the line says: "An ancestor of mine maintained..."
So his ancestor very well could have been quoting Sherlock Holmes while not actually being Sherlock Holmes. It's like saying my ancestor espoused this philosophy.
Forbidden Planet is in mine. Not exactly, of course (heck, the opening crawl alone doesn't match up), but events very much like it happened to a Starfleet vessel in the late 22nd/early 23rd century.
Man, that table of Kirk's just doesn't reflect anything, does it?
