Why has no one pointed out...
That the new Star Trek movie has rebooted all of the entire Star Trek universe, wiping out all pre-existing movies, television shows, books, comics, and other media...
...except _Enterprise_.
In fact, _Enterprise_, along with the new movie, *IS* the canon.
Organian Treaty? Didn't happen. Decon gel? Canon.
Wolf 359? Doesn't exist. Space beagle? Canon.
Dominion War? You're dreaming. Temporal cold war? CANON!
Lens flares and soft rock, baby!
"It's been a looooooong roooooooooad...."

But somehow, I doubt J.J. Abrahms is going to be worrying about Enterprise as canon for anything.

And no, I don't think he's going to be worried about it, I'm just terribly amused that, in canon, the only existing media pre-Abrams is _Enterprise_, the series that was duly hated by most fans.
"It's all new! It's all fresh! It's all... oh shit. Damn. Um... *didn't happen*! Nothing to see here!"
Fucking hilarious, in my opinion. I can't wait for the first ret-retcon that attempts to link this reboot to the 29thc. Starfleet time fleet/Temporal Cold War to wipe *that* out and reset that bit as well. Of all the pieces to leave in the canon bin for the fans, it's the piece least accepted.
After decades of whinging about what is canon, and what is not, and *this* happens? Delicious irony.
