But there is no reason to think that something that is not contradicted by anything is not canon just because you don’t like it.
Of course it's canon. It just doesn't work as continuity, not even in the episode its self. It can be tossed aside like so many other lines and phrases have.But there is no reason to think that something that is not contradicted by anything is not canon just because you don’t like it.
Canon =/= ContinuityBut there is no reason to think that something that is not contradicted by anything is not canon just because you don’t like it.
Nope, they're two completely different concepts.Same difference.
I'm used to the Marvel approach to continuity. Basically even some really terrible concepts written in the early 40s-60s, that don't remotely fit into the rest of the canon now, sometimes they've somehow been able to make fit.In a franchise that exists for as long as Star Trek does certain things inevitably have to be removed from continuity, because they simply don't fit anymore.
And as I said, Pike saying that would be as stupid as much of a non-sequitur as a deacon declaring they can't get used to seeing preachers at church. No matter what people try to make of it, there's just no way to make that statement fit the modern continuity.
