Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 1x05 - "Spock Amok"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Picard went to his wedding. He was married. It was in tng so it's canon
The episode never named the son that got married.
Well, corporate positions are always in motion. Maybe his word is good. For now. We can always ask George, formerly over at that other star franchise, what his word means for that franchise's canon these days.
That person was at a convention? He said the website doesn't count?
He said only what appears in the shows and movies count as canon, so yes.
Per CBS/Paramount, what is shown on screen (and is legible on said screen) is canon. Thus articles on their website are not, nor is anything from the novels, UNLESS/UNTIL it's shown or mentioned on an actual episode of a Star Trek series or film.
It was Spock. Sarek had no other living son.
Picard was a Lieutenant when he attended the wedding of Sarek's son. That would place it sometime before 2333 since that was the year when he was promoted to Captain of the Stargazer. Unless Sarek's been married to Perrin for about half a century by the time of TNG I doubt it's their son.
Obviously. But we're talking about the present, no the future.
We don't know that.
You are also referring to Van Citters? CBS/Paramount is a corporation with no voice of its own.
If it makes money for CBS/Paramount, it's canon.
All else is wishful thinking!

Well there you go! Thanks for answering and responding to my follow-up questions.
I'm declaring Solo non-canon as the first Star Wars film to lose money.If it makes money for CBS/Paramount, it's canon.
All else is wishful thinking!
Star Trek Beyond: " Industry analyst Danny Cox had previously estimated that in order for the film to break even, it would have to earn $340–350 million worldwide,and ended losing an estimated $50.5 million."
I guess Beyond isn't canon :O
Super! Maybe I'll just stop watching all Trek then, thanks for the advice!
If there's no canon then it's even more ridiculous to attempt to reconcile SNW events with TOS ones.
In fact maybe we shouldn't even discuss Star Trek here.
985th, actually.

He didn't have an adopted human daughter until Discovery came along.
The very idea of canon is lifted from religious scholarship. I (or in this case Pope Gregory I) can say the Bible says Mary Magdalene was a prostitute, but the quality of my research would be poor, and my claim doesn't make that canonical.
There are no cannon or even canon books.
