I just ignore the whole canon/non-canon thing and just regard the TV   
   series, movies, and novels all as part of Star Trek. The novels fill in the   
   gaps between the TV series episodes, the TV series and movies, the movies, and   
   cover what happens before    
   and after the movies. The novels tell us what happens in between the TV series   
   episodes, in between the TV series and movies, between the movies and before   
   the TV series and after the movies. The TV and movie scriptwriters couldn't   
   cover EVERYTHING, you    
   know. The terms "canon", "non-canon", and "apocryphal" mean nothing to me. I   
   just enjoy Trek no matter what form its in and I tie in the different stories   
   in with each other, whether they be on television, on the big screen, or in   
   novels.
