[TrekMovie] Bob Orci: "Terra Nova and Bounty no longer canon!"

[Skywalker]

Especially when there are movies made today about events which took place two hundred years in the past, and in most cases they intentionally change the story around for dramatic effect.

From Trekmovie.com:

"We are really passionate about Star Trek around here, you know, we take it seriously" said Orci, asked about the main reason behind this puzzling move. "We [Orci, Abrams, Lindelof, Kurtzman, AKA 'The Supreme Court'] know that this is quite a precedent, and that you can't just de-canonize stuff, you know, the stuff that's already on DVD, the stuff people paid for... But the thing is, the overall quality of the entire franchise is at stake here, its reputation is at stake, and these are not some irrelevant issues that you just ignore like that. So Alex [Kurtzman] and I brought this to CBS's and Paramount's attention, and they said 'what the hell, why not, make a list and bring it over, but be sure to start with Enterprise, cause that show is mostly crap', and we were, like 'Shit, we know, right?', but then the issue was 'which episodes do we erase from the 'space time continuum' [chuckles], and we decided to start with these two because they were just embarrassing, a disgrace not just for the studio, but for the fans as well. We'll be killing them more as we go, call it a 'spring cleanup' if you will, and this is about it for 2011. Since our Star Trek sequel is due next year, Alex, Damon, JJ and I think it would be only fitting if we 'killed' two TOS episodes, probably some time around April Fools day 2012."

Yay!! Those episodes sucked!!!









Wait.





It's an april fools??? Aw man!

The joke that keeps on giving.

Just decanonise "These are the Voyages..."

They already decanonized parts of Enterprise when they referred to "Admiral Archer" when he actually should have been Federation President long time ago. Are yo Americans referring to Dwight Eisenhower as General or President?

Not really. He could have accepted a teaching position at Starfleet Academy after growing tired of politics.

It's a General Washington thing.

Even while he was President, he still couldn't quite believe how he'd got into politics, so played it down by having everybody call him Admiral.

He gets a kick out of pissing off those peace-loving space hippie types, by pulling rank.

They in turn, eventually stopped being floating voters, into order to get "Herbert" Archer out of office.

"Admiral" Washington?
