I don't see how canon fails to be relevant outside a vs debate. It still helps to have an agreed upon standard of what evidence is legitimate, surely?

Pretty much sums it up. I can't find the link to where it is on the Star Trek website, but I'm content enough with this.

That's only important if you're forced to deal with raving lunatics who scream 'Canon!' every waking moment.

That would be why I said 'mostly in versus cases'. It would indeed still be handy to have an agreed policy for PST discussion.

(While that might be describing the TOS atmosphere relative to his experience, it could have also been much uglier before Kirk's time too. (I don't think it happened that way in ENT, but I haven't seen most of it so I can't say for sure.)

most of what we see of the Klingons in ST:E is pretty much rip off of ST:6
