Fanon Discontinuity/Live-Action TV: Difference between revisions

** Many (if not all) fans of ''Voyager'' throw out the episode "Threshold." Even the writer admits it was bad. More important, the ship could have returned to Earth right after the credits with the technology introduced. (Sure, it [[Evolutionary Levels|turns you into a newt]], but you'll get better!<ref>Since the Doctor figured out how to reverse the change.</ref>) While not officially removed from canon, the events of the episode are ignored by fans and writers alike, and it did receive a [[Discontinuity Nod]].

** Most ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise]]'' fans, particularly those fond of Trip, dismiss the events of the last episode, a decision made easier by the fact it was presented as a holodeck reconstruction many centuries later. The novel ''The Good That Men Do'' is [[Author's Saving Throw|devoted to doing just that]] by claiming the events we saw were a revisionist history. It's not just the fans, however. Even ''actors'' (primarily Connor "Trip" Trinneer) from the series prefer to pretend that episode never happened. But then, it ''was'' their own hard work over the last four years that was being insulted by such a terrible finale, so it's no wonder they'd hate it. Even many of those who didn't particularly like Trip consider the two-parter "Terra Prime" (arguably the series' best episodes) the series' true final episodes. (Except ''possibly'' for Archer's speech and the narration that combines Archer's, Kirk's, and Picard's versions of the famous "Space... the final frontier" opening. Maybe. If they are feeling particularly generous.)

** ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'' fans sometimes throw out Season Seven, as so much of what happens (magic books? Dukat posing as a Bajoran to get in Winn's robes?) is considered [[Seasonal Rot|significantly lower in quality]] than the previous six seasons. Other fans might be okay with most of season 7, but would like to pretend that pretty much every Ferengi episode in the series besides [[Good Troi Episode|The Magnificent Ferengi]] never happened. ''Let He Who Is Without Sin...'' is another episode that many would rather forget.

* Many fans of the rebooted ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]]'' Do Not Talk about "Black Market." (Because you know that Apollo would ''totally'' abandon his pregnant girlfriend and never mention her again just to go to a hooker to placate his guilt over said incident.) Or "[[Possession Sue|The Woman King]]." Ever. [[Canon Discontinuity|The writers seem to agree]].

* Most fans of ''[[SeaQuest DSV]]'' can only stand the first season. It's curious that the last episode of the first season also acts as a fairly good finale, {{spoiler|1=with the original SeaQuest vessel being destroyed and its crew waiting for a new one to be built}}. For those who choose to carry on, the second season is [[Retool|retooled]] to focus on teen hearthrob [[Creator's Pet|Lucas Wolenczak]]. The spin-off/third season ''SeaQuest 2032'' realizes its mistake and banks hard in the opposite direction.

* For some, ''[[Sesame Street]]'' ceased to exist after 2002, when the show went through a revamping to make it more suitable for younger audiences. For others, it was 1998, when ''Elmo's World'' debuted.

** Same could be said about ''[[The New Monkees]]''

* The existence of seasons of ''[[Mission Impossible (TV series)|Mission Impossible]]'' after [[Real Life Relative|Barbara Bain and Martin Landau]] left is in serious question. None about the execrable 1980s revival.
