If you sawp out “miniskirts” for “that thing where they do the Elizabeth Taylor lighting on Kirk’s eyes so they go all sparkly,” then you’ve pretty much summed up this girl’s equation for good TOS, too.

I’d just like to know why this thing wouldn’t let me see my posts yesterday.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have repeated myself.

So, I guess the Enterprise will eventually run into Ringworld. They already found a Dyson sphere.

TAS wasn’t exactly declared non-canon, just off limits for legal reasons (Filmation was shutting down and the legal rights to its various licensed shows, like Star Trek, were still in a state of legal flux).

Once the issues were resolved and the various leeches, um, lawyers were all satisfied, TAS was back in the fold, essentially serving as TOS’ fourth season.

It would be more accurate to say that TAS was “off limits” for a while rather than non-canon, due to Filmation shutting down and the status of its various licensed cartoons being in some dispute. Once that issue was resolved, as evidenced by the DVD release, TAS was back in the family, essentially filling in the niche as TOS’ fourth season.

I’ve become a fan of this guy. He really seems to respect Trek as well as being a big fan. And for the first time I can see a likeness for the character he’ll be playing. I thought he was decent in Lord of the Rings too. Himself and Pegg are definitely the two cast members I’m most excited about.

#21—According to Memory Alpha, Paramount declared TAS canon at the same time it was released in its current DVD format. That was the sole source for the information in that statement.

#22—Personally, I have always considered TAS to be non-canon material (with the exception of Fontana’s “Yesteryear”). I do not agree with canonizing the rest of it, but according to a recently updated article on “Star Trek canon” at Memory Alpha, Paramount did officially declare TAS canon alongside the DVD release.

If you can debunk that article, it would actually please me greatly. “Yesteryear” is the only thing I liked about TAS, and the sole reason I bought the box set in the first place.

Kirk ,Spock and McCoy troika ? Hmm .Is that why Uhura’s on the poster and not McCoy?
My guess is Uhura’s has a little more eye candy appeal.
