Hey Ryan! Star Trek movie news!

So basically, information from a novel is only canon until it is incorporated into an episode/movie. That does not make the novel canon, just the information that made it to the show.

Personally, I hate to accept anything from "Enterprise" as canon, because it seemed to re-write so much of what has come to be accepted as canon. Archer and company had contact with the Borg?? Come on!!

Anyway, I think that irishgirl, Ryan and myself with the Ledge Nerd Award for this debate/discussion :-)

omg what a funny photo!

as an aside, some of my favorite novels are the ones that deal with pre-TOS days, Prime Directive is awesome, it deals with Robert April and Captain Kirk's father (forget his name LOL!) and I love all the Vulcan stories too. Personally, I find it gives a person a better understanding of the nuances that created the characters, the culture, the history etc. There was even a story (Best Destiny, by Diane Carey) that had young James T. Kirk stowing away on a spaceship and getting into trouble and helping to solve problems, even as a young boy. It shows you what made him decide to go into starfleet in the first place. I like stuff like that...

I read that JJ Abrams has thrown out the name of singer Robbie Williams as Kirk.
