I think #28 may have made a pretty good point there…as well as #132..

@Christine: “Aw, I’m sad you think Enterprise is crap. D: It’s one of my favourite series. I think it’s really awesome. But, to each his own.”

You aren’t the only one. I too count myself from among that rare species known as Enterprise fans. Even though I’ve seen most of the episodes several times, I still cannot resist the urge to watch Enterprise every week day at 5pm on the Sci-Fi channel (the only thing actually worth watching on that sorry channel since they canceled Stargate: Atlantis).

Anyways, concerning the topic at hand, the various Star Trek series have a long history of “Easter eggs”: http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Science_fiction_references_in_Star_Trek

And i meant “argue” a canon fact.

I’ll be the first to say that canon only exists in the minds of some fans. There are so many contradictions in filmed Trek that the term can only be used very loosely to mean “continuity.” One can are a canon fact against another and both be right.

it’s like time and space, a fluid thing.

Not you, goofy. The other guy. I know you get jokes. But seriously, what’s up with that canon dealy?

It’s a frakkin joke joke! I was joking! You know? Having a little fun?

Man, some of the n00bs on this site have their glasses taped a bit too tightly!

Friends, I think we can all relax now. We’re in good hands. Any “Star Trek” reboot that inserts a bottle of Saurian brandy into a Super bowl ad is the real deal. Think about it: there is no greater mainstream validation!

And excuse me, kirk09 and THX, but have we truly run out of Trek canon issues to argue about? We’re all moving on to “Dharma and Greg”?

I don’t think we’ll see any Dharma Initiative stuff in JJ’s trek. I don’t think anyone has looked but JJ was only involved in the pilot of Lost. The driving force of it since then has been Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse. Sure JJ is listed as having writing credits on 88 episodes, but if you look close it’s a creator credit. Gene has that on next gen episodes that were made after he died.

Peace,
Rich

To all those who are whining about JJ putting in these little easter eggs:

Get a life, you would’ve never known those references were in the movie had it not been for these two guys……..

@123
I like ENT also, well mostly anyway…….
