As of now Season 5 of enterprise exists only in the Books.
I choose the Canon of the novel the good that men do over These are the voyages because that episode was crap and moore should be ashamed.
Though the continuence of the voyages of the crew of the Nx-01 in novel form should make them feel right at home because the rebirth of tng, voyager, and deep space nine have all happened in the novels. Except for Year Four of Tos which is a Comic book.
Enterprise was supposed to be the first trek series to last 8 seasons as the voyage of the Nx-01 was an eight year mission. So four whole Seasons Are missing from the tv series unlike TOS which is only missing 2, Then their was that second five year mission thing of phase II which became star trek the motion picture. If you include the never produced and aborted series there are seven more seasons of tos missing.
TNG, DS9, and Voyager i believe all got Seven Seasons.
Also as far as i Know the TOS novels have 2 seperate continuities. The Real Pocket Books Continuity which tries to be in Line with the films and tv series and is still not canon, well at least it was not canon until JJ got his hands on things. And their is the Shatnerverse. Where the whole Universe revolves around Captain Kirk and His Decisions and even in the Next Generation Era Picard plays second Banana. People have alleged that Shatner is massaging His own ego in these books. That may be true but some of them are damn fun.
I'm not jumping to conclusions But i imagine Hunter6 is going to say that the screenwriters of the jj pic are going to plagiarize stuff from the pocket books novels. This might sit okay with cbs paramount who own pocket books, but what about the work for hire authors getting their work stolen?
Like if they Lazily cobble together other peoples work they should not have a job in writing at all.
Lucas and Spielberg both have allegedly commited grievous Plagiarism and got away with it.
It can never be proven in court but Star Wars is probably the biggest piece of plagiarism ever produced. And this not according to me these are not my theories.
Many unauthorized Biographer or Website has discussed argued these points.
Most of the source authors Lucas mined for Star Wars were Alive at the time the film was made and received no compensation. People Like Frank Herbert and Isaac Asimov. alas for the passed away authors who could not protect their works like Edgar Rice Burroughs. Not Sure if E.E. Smith was alive at the time but his works were plundered wholesale as well. A case could be Made of Liberally Borrowing from the works of Professor J.R.R. Tolkien Like Lord of the Rings and The hobbit specifically.
He borrowed from Kurosawa but that score was settled when he helped raise the money to get Kagemusha made. Just like he supposedly gave money to the JCF or Joseph Campbell Foundation. Joe Campbell's book the hero with a thousand faces is also Very much used in Star Wars.
