Braga gives you ecstacy!

I'll never acknowledge Nemesis as part of the Canon. Never.

Alas, your acknowlagement is not neccessery for Paramount's ongoing star trek roller coaster of doom. I don't think they should exist either, but they do, unfortunately.

There's no such thing as the Remans. They're a fantasy of Berman and Braga's. Remus was settled by part of the colonists from Vulcan, just like Romulus. The annihilation of the Romulan history and the Romulan culture that had been established in the Star Trek novels--some of the best Star Trek novels were about the Romulans and the Vulcans--was the final straw for me with Star Trek. I'll never acknowledge Nemesis as part of the Canon. Never.

Can you imagine that I used to be a pretty big Star Trek fan? At one point, before ASVS, maybe even more than Star Wars? The Franchise destroyed its interest and its respect in my eyes. It used to have a history and a myth and a whole universe built up around it. Now it's a series of disjointed parts only connected by a name and by the fact that they're spewed out by the same two crack-smoking lunatics.

I hate Star Trek.

You're not alone in feeling that way. And I think that with the original creator of the series dead and gone, it's highly questionable to assign canon status to anything made after his departure anyway.

Canonicity is not "real" in the sense that there is no such entity in copyright law as "canonicity", and the copyright holder's declarations thereof are only accepted as such because we, the fanbase, choose to accept them. When the copyright holder is the creator or an entity under the creator's control, we generally accept its statements on the matter. But when the copyright holder is an ass-clown who spits on everything the original creator held dear and openly admits not liking the original creator's work, why the fuck should we care what he says about canonicity?
