I don't know if I can acept the new movie as canon!

[Jayson]

I think the movie is going to be alot of fun but am I the only person who likes what I see though at the same time can't really buy into the idea that this movie will take place in the established universe we are familiar with. In my mind I think we should see this movie as something new instead of hold onto any tread of hope that it will fit into canon.

I don't know if I can acept your new thread in my forum.

Oh, wait, I don't have to. Moving to Trek XI...

 

[ClayHefner]

I see them as two seperate canons.

If this movie is a singular thing with no sequels and Star Trek set in sleep mode, XI might be seen more as a tribute, a homage. Old canon prevails.

If this movie spawns sequels based upon it, however- maybe even a new series- I might look at "old Star Trek" like I look at old BSG now I will just accept it as the new Star Trek canon.
And though I know that Star Trek canon has been retconned and altered, I see this JJTrek as (the beginning of?) something new, different.

Jayson, let me ask you a few questions:

When in the history of the Star Trek universe did the Eugenics Wars take place? In the 1990s or the 2170s?

How do Trills really look? Do they have spots or forehead ridges? Also, do they use the transporter or don't they?

Was Scotty part of the maiden voyage of the Enterprise-B or was he not?

Did Lieutenant Commander Dmitri Valtane die before the Excelsior arrived at Khitomer or did he not?

Does Spock have a brother? And did he ever marry someone?

1990s

I'm not familiar enough with the trill to answer that question.

Was Scotty part of the maiden voyage of the Enterprise-B or was he not?

Yep, He was. His memory was slightly dammaged from being suspended in te transporter so long.

Did Lieutenant Commander Dmitri Valtane die before the Excelsior arrived at Khitomer or did he not?

Does Spock have a brother?

A half brother.

And did he ever marry someone?

Spock or Sybok? I don't recall any references to Spock being married.

 

[Joemac]

Spock was sort of pledged to wed. as he appeared in TNG in Reunification i suppose it's still not too late for him to marry and have kids

1990s

Rear Admiral Bennet disagrees.

And did he ever marry someone?

Spock or Sybok? I don't recall any references to Spock being married.

Picard in Sarek:

I met him [Sarek] once... Many years ago, just briefly at his son's wedding.

 

[The Borg Queen]

Does it matter? Even the Voyager episode Threshold is canon, regardless of what even the writer thinks. Too bad for him because he's wrong.

So it seems everybody has their own personal canon, apparently, even if it means disregarding the TRUE canon of "if it was on TV = it's canon".

So don't worry about it.

 

[Michael]

So don't worry about it.

Exactly.

 

[Joemac]

We know spock had one half brother is it possible he had more siblings? I'd always hoped spock would marry one of those emotional humans.Nurse Chappell always seemed to have a crush on him

 

[Rii]

Canon issues don't bother me in the least, although to be honest that's more a reflection of the distance between "Star Trek" and myself, both chronologically and emotionally, than it is any enlightened sensibility.

After decades with the same people and the same (lack of) style, I guess it's not a big surprise that even superficial stylistic changes seem like a big fucking deal.

Jayson, the movie is supposed to take place in an altered timeline.

You just killed him. Is it a new universe or isn't it? It can't be half and half. The trible is it's gonna be nostalgic to a show it isn't even adhering to. Can they have it both ways?

His name is Jayson so won't he just come back to life anyway? Or was that Freddie?

What if there were monkeys? Would that secure a place in canon for this movie?

I prefer to see it as I Don't Care Where It Fits Into "Canon."

Works just fine.

Zealots want putting in a canon and firing off in the direction of Loserville.

Enough already.

It says Parmount on the tin and it's a fact.

Deal with it or go back to your cellars.
