To be fair, I can point to any number of prose works for other franchises that singularly FAIL to maintain their parent series' continuity. The first Murder, She Wrote novel infamously depicted Jessica Fletcher as driving a car (this was later fixed in a revised edition, but other errors remain).

And as I said in that previous conversation, councils had actually been doing this for centuries before then, for a variety of reasons (NOT limited simply to agreement/disagreement with theology, although of course that was very much a consideration).

Yes. I know. I alluded to it in my previous conversation with you. I said at the time that even Lutherans now accept it as canonical, despite Luther's own issues with it. I'm a seminary graduate with an MDiv. At the risk of sounding pompous, I know quite a bit about this stuff.

You misunderstood me. The ship still was sent to Earth millions of years before the Beast Wars. No changes caused by the Beast Wars reaches back before the ship left Cybertron. Sure, everything AFTER that could be different, but the canon that has the Ark-crash would have to remain.

Thankfully, the writer of the letter of James agrees with you.

Yeah. "These Are the Voyages" presented a unique opportunity. The novels were able to utterly reinterpret those events without actually contradicting anything, since the whole thing was a holodeck recreation, told from the perspective of the 24th century, rather than from the perspective of...

OK. I don't consider the novels canon, either, although I do enjoy them.

Could I ask for some clarification on this line? Because, obviously, Sisko did come back in the Pocket DS9 stories, about a year after he ascended.

I'm having trouble reconciling the ideas "I was always under the impression that the Catholic Church was corrupt, oppressive, bad" with "The Catholic Church is a very powerful entity and no one seems to want to speak directly against it." The former exists, in my experience, precisely because...

Yeah, for RiD-2001 to be the result of Beast Wars having mucked with time, we would have to assume that the Maximals failed in ways we didn't even begin to see. (And keep in mind that the most pivotal event of the G1 timeline, the launch of the Ark from Cybertron to crash-land on Earth, would...

You’ve obviously never played telephone….

You are literally the only person I've seen make that accusation. Tastes can differ, and if you didn't like it, you didn't like it. But when the cast includes multiple members with Broadway musical experience, including one who won a Grammy (and was also nominated for a Tony), accusing them of...

I'm going to break in right here to say that, while the "pull random verses" program may well have sway in many evangelical (not the same as Protestant) circles, the "systematic, structures, complete teaching program of the whole Bible" is by no means exclusive to Catholicism (and depending what...

Recognizing that Tony Stark's identity as Iron Man isn't secret, he still has a "civilian," non-superheroic part of his life (the post said "no job and no attachments other than to fellow superheroes," and Stark has both). That would be rather different than, say, the X-Men, who connect almost...

Just to make sure I'm understanding the question correctly, you're not just asking about heros whose alter ego isn't a secret (say, Wally West as the Flash... for most of the post-Crisis era), but one who isn't known by any other identity at all (as in your examples of the Tick and Arthur)...

Now if only it can find a place so that people can actually watch it!

Some people just NEED to find fault with things....

To be fair, I merely chose the first war I could find that fit the appropriate timeframe (roughly 300 years ago).

A fair point, although one theory (not posited specifically on Star Trek, to the best of my knowledge, but I've definitely seen it elsewhere) would suggest that the timeline tends to smooth itself out the further from a change goes along (perhaps an inverse butterfly effect, if you will). In...

Practically? It was the literal truth!
