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...."

Re: Scraped the canon clean, if you ask me.
I'm really looking forward to what they come up with next. Having the bits and pieces of all the post-Enterprise Star Trek universe to play with, but without them being set in concrete? My oh my, what a toy bin. There are a tremendous number of great ideas in amongst the chaff, and letting those be taken out, turned over and reworked will be nice to see. (Heck, even _ENT_ managed to do some nice bits, such as retconning the Orion 'slave girls' as the heads of a pheromone-based matriarchy, such that the entire external face of the culture is a sham to infiltrate patriarchal hierarchies without undue attention... IMO, that was brilliant.)
But we'll always have decon gel. :D
