SHATNERVERSE CANNON???

[Turtletrekker]

^^And then a year later, a giant Leonard Nimoy came along and took a bite out of the Moon?

(Yes, I got the reference. Spoon!)

Dealing with this crowd, I probably shouldn't have worried.

 

[ToddCam]

^Spoon!

This is probably the millionth time someone asked if books are canon.

Isn't there some way to prevent this from happening again? It usually leads to a heck of a lot of arguments (which often get personal) --and even more headaches. This time we got lucky, but still....

Really? I don't remember any of the discussion specifically related to canon getting that out of hand. Or at least not as bad as some of them.

You mean you've never heard of a loose canon?

You missed a couple of awesome ones. I thought for sure we'd have to tranquilize one or two folks on different occasions.

 

[Steve Roby]

Apropos of nothing much in particular, last week marked the fifth anniversary of Every Fan's Canon Primer. And I thought I was exasperated then...

 

[David cgc]

That couldn't have been five years ago.

Wow.

Hmm, I must just not remember them then, because I always make a point of going to every thread so I don't miss anything interesting.

 

[Idoliside]

I still want this mythical shatnerverse cannon.....

boom...

Is that like Highlander canon where every single iteration violates every other one?

Yeah, and Keith was at the top of that list, IIRC.

 

[Dayton Ward]

^ HAH!

Well, I was thinking of the rather colorful folks who pursued the conversation with....shall we say, "evangelical" fervor.

 

[TerriO]

Nah, I've dealt with true evangelicals. These folks were nothing like that.

The word "piker" comes to mind.

I really wanted to make either a "Pike" or "Riker" joke in response to your "piker" comment, but I couldn't because my brain is still cringing from Christopher's "loose canon" joke upthread...

 

[Dayton Ward]

^ We usually don't let him make jokes, but that one slipped past us.

 

[Jack Bauer]

Sometimes I wish we could ban the word canon from the forums here.

 

[Marco Palmieri]

Sometimes I wish we could ban the word canon from the forums here.

Better still: Set the forum up so that anytime someone uses the word "canon" in a sentence, the system automatically changes it to "Twinkies."

 

[Therin of Andor]

Sometimes I wish we could ban the word canon from the forums here.

Wouldn't work. Everyone spells it "cannon" anyway.

 

[Dayton Ward]

^ So, "canon" would be switched to "twinkies," whereas "cannon" would be changed to "rama-lama-ding dong."

As if anyone could stop me...
