Why has no one pointed out...

[kickaha]

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...."

Nice theory.

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

Scraped the canon clean, if you ask me.

(even though I was nominally obligated to post about the sneak preview I saw last Wednesday, I was a mite too busy to actually get around to it)

Yeah, when the scriptwriters drop such a canon-shattering (*snrk*) event in there, there's not much to be done with everything else. Heck, they even comment on that at two points in the movie.

Personally, I'd be more interested to see this movie used as a new jumping-off point, without all that baggage that's accreted through TNG on. Hell, from TOS onward.

I mean, hell, they rewrote Captain Pike's injury story for crying out loud. They undid the pilot of TOS.

Er...so you missed the specific mention of Enterprise? How Scotty tested his transporter tech?

Admiral Archer's prize beagle? :D
