Any shows/movies you consider part of your personal canon?

[Turd Ferguson]

This thread isn't about which episodes of the various Star Trek series you may not consider part of your personal canon (examples: Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, Spock's Brain, Threshold, A Night in Sickbay). This thread is about series/movies outside of the Star Trek canon that you consider to be a part of the universe, or think would be cool to be part of the Star Trek universe.

For example, I consider Event Horizon to be a part of the Star Trek universe. It even fits in with the established events. It takes place before World War III (2047. Data in First Contact claims WWIII happens approximately ten years before First Contact, which would be 2053). I think it's pretty cool if you view it as humanity's first (failed) attempt at faster than light travel.

Are there any movies/television shows you consider as part of your own personal canon?

Forbidden Planet

Galaxy Quest.

You're just asking for Christopher Bennett to come in here and put the smackdown on you.

 

[C.E. Evans]

Star Wars (but a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...)
Doctor Who (multiple timelines thingy)

 

[Ensign_Redshirt]

Boston Legal

Denny Crane was obviously meant to be one of James T. Kirk's direct ancestors. By extension this means that The Practice and many other David E. Kelly shows (including Ally McBeal) are also set in the Trekverse.

That was my first thought when I saw that the thread title had "personal canon" in it

Here Comes The Brides.

Not a series/movie, but the book Spaceflight Chronology.
In 1980, it filled in all the history when none had existed yet.

It came first, was Paramount-authorized, I like it, so it counts.

Mission Impossible. Not many people know Spock was transported back to the 1960s and had to spend time working as a CIA operative and a magician until he made enough money to get the parts to return home...

Was that before or after Kirk was accidentally transported back to the Barbary Coast?

Here Comes The Brides.

Ishmael is one of my favorite ST novels.

 

[Lonemagpie]

Forbidden Planet

Blakes 7, sort of. (It has a Federation, whose symbol is the Starfleet arrowhead turned 90 degrees, and the season 2 finale makes a perfect sequel to By Any Other Name)

 

[Enterprise is Great]

Highlander. C'mon...Flint's an immortal. Dying my ass Spock was wrong.

 

[Greg Cox]

What was really sad was when Chapel ended up running that robot brothel . . ..

 

[Mr Silver]

Not many people know Spock was transported back to the 1960s

That was part of the Kolinahr discipline apparently.

and a magician

Apparently he discovered the recreational appetites of 1960's America andaccidently mind melded with a magician, whom Spock thought was a Horta.(the magician now builds radios using stone knives and bareskins and hates Italian food)

until he made enough money to get the parts to return home...

At which point he was so pissed off with Jim Phelps that he rigged the IMF mission tapes to self destruct in 3 seconds instead of 5.

 

[DS9forever]

Pretty much all of the DS9 novels that have published since 2000.

Boston Legal

Denny Crane was obviously meant to be one of James T. Kirk's direct ancestors. By extension this means that The Practice and many other David E. Kelly shows (including Ally McBeal) are also set in the Trekverse.

Don't forget TJ Hooker. Obviously Denny used to be a cop and used the alias TJ Hooker. Either that or TJ Hooker is Denny's real name and he just didn't feel that as an attorney it rolled like......Dennnny Crane.



(Serious personal canon note: Generations and Nemesis were just bad dreams.)

Questor.

Look at Questor's mannerisms, compared to Data's. They both shoot craps the same way.
Doctor Soung (sp?) was really Data's robotic predecessor, he had been programmed to age. He was from a long line of robot/androids, created by a secret alien race to watch over Humanity. The same ones that sent Gary Seven.

 

[Ian Keldon]

seaQuest.

There are mutual in-universe references to tie the two together, the SQ universe with just a hint of squinting could easily be the early 21st century as depicted in DS9's "Past Tense", and the history is about right:

The failure of and breakdown of the UEO (as depicted in S3, and would have been explored more if the show had gone longer) would signal the beginning of the period of international problems that led directly into WW III.

The "Dagger Crisis" at the start of S2 makes reference to the bans on genetic engineering later referenced in DS9 as well.
