Will it be considered canon? Should it be considered canon? Will you consider it canon?

 

[Turtletrekker]

Sure, why not?

 

[Mudd]

 

[Richard S. Ta]

No, because I don’t like audio plays.

But also, yes of course.

Wait a minute, where am I?

 

[Christopher]

1. No, supplemental materials are not canon, by definition.

2. Who cares? Canon is all made up too, and even canon works are subject to being contradicted by later canon. You're not studying for a test, so there are no "right" answers, just imaginative possibilities to explore. This will be the third exploration of this particular story, after the novel To Reign in Hell and the IDW comic, and that's fine. Since it's all imaginary, there's room for multiple alternative imaginings of how a certain event happened. That's a feature, not a bug.

 

[Richard S. Ta]

So, basically yes then?

 

[The Wormhole]

No, it is not Khanon. What the hell is Khanon anyway?

I believe Kh-anon exposed that the Fleet State were putting eels into people's brains in the basement of the Botany Bay.

 

[Warp Speed]

If Georgie Takei is involved, I’m out.

 

[CorporalCaptain]

So, not canon, but definitely Khanon!

 

[Turtletrekker]

If Georgie Takei is involved, I’m out.

Buh-byeeeee!

 

[Firebird]

It'll be whatever TPTB determine its canonicity to be, since they own the rights and get to call the shots.

 

[Dukhat]

It'll be whatever TPTB determine its canonicity to be, since they own the rights and get to call the shots.

This. If CBS all of a sudden out of nowhere decides that this audio is canon, despite it not being something shown on screen as is their usual definition of canon works, then it’s canon.

 

[Turtletrekker]

It'll be whatever TPTB determine its canonicity to be, since they own the rights and get to call the shots.

Not to mention the fact that, unlike the average piece of tie-in media, this is not licensed through a third party. This is an official Secret Hideout production with Alex Kurtzman listed as executive producer. If any non-live action product was going to cross over into canonical status, it would be this one.

 

[Tuskin38]

If Georgie Takei is involved, I’m out.

Why?

 

[Lucky]

I'm accepting it as canon. But I'm used to accepting audio dramas as canon, as I do the same for Big Finish with Doctor Who.

 

[Turtletrekker]

Why?

Given his despicable homophobic comments in the Discovery forum, I can fathom a guess.

 

[Crazyewok]

If Georgie Takei is involved, I’m out.

Please tell us why?

He is a Trek treasure.

 

[XCV330]

If Georgie Takei is involved, I’m out.

 

[Nerys Myk]

No, it is not Khanon. What the hell is Khanon anyway?
