Star Trek Continues and STO

For those who haven't heard yet, we have new episodes of Star Trek The Original Series. These are apparently to be considered canon episodes.

My question is, have the STO team had the opportunity to see any of these episodes yet? If so, would they be willing to make reference to them in the game?

would need some kind of proof from CBS endorsing the webseries to believe it's Star trek canon.
Myth: Star Trek Continues is Trek canon.
Definitely a job for Mythbusters.
good thing one of them actually works on ST continues and can easily get the inside scoop!
Links, quotes, endorsements and screenshots or it never happened. Who says they're canon? You?
Let's see, cursory review of their website reveals:
-Not licensed by CBS
-Not considering THEMSELVES canon outside of their own continuity
-Their kickstarter page explicitly saying their show is only possible because of CBS's generous tolerance of unlicensed fan productions.
"Well, Adam, that sounds just about busted to me, right?"
"Well, yeah, Jaime, for any other show. But now we're going to see if it's still not canon after we fire Buster out of a canon into an olympic sized pool full of gasoline with an episode of the show clamped in his hands."
"What will that prove?"
"That our show is still worth its budget!"
Well, I can see I'm not needed in this thread. *shuffles off, kicking a can down the street*
And we all know what happens when you assume.
That said, Thank you for the link. I was skeptical at first, but it turned out to be first rate.
These people understand Star Trek and are building on the series that even the genner reviled JJ has realized is the real definitive Trek.
The rest of you go back to your Earl Grey and baldness.

See, if they weren't trying to replace the original crew, i might think again. i mean, why couldn't this be the voyages of, for example, the Farragut? Your already a fan thing, that kind of gives you a reason to NOT be bound to the established characters.
indeed.
i'd be more inclined to consider this cannon, but only in a JJ-trek, alternate universe-ish sort of way. and that's only if cbs says it.

I love when people say that. Canon was once considered only ever TOS. TNG changed that, then DS9 changed that, then some novels changed that. Canon is never stagnant, canon is added to and increased every year.

It's almost as if someone owns property, they can decide what to do with it.
Hey now, let's not jump to conclusions here. I think we need the mythbusters back into the thread to determine if the people who own the property are allowed to decide what to do with it.
Then maybe he should have let TOS inspire him for his Star Trek movies instead Star Wars A New Hope.:rolleyes:

No, people would still find reasons to hate it. Star Trek fans have been hating Star Trek movies for not being "Star Trek" ever since TMP.
Cannon, I don't think we understand the meaning of that word.

QFT.
The anger at the JJ-prise doesn't come close to fan rage about the death of Spock and the militarization of Starfleet via that "controversial" and "non-Trek" film, The Wrath of Khan.
"Omg they completely disregarded Space Seed because Kirk and Khan became friends at the end of the episode. Anyone who likes WoK isn't a real Star Trek fan!"
Both Star Trek and the original Star Wars share excitement and action, something their decendants lack.
JJ did it the right way.
See Into Darkness, you will be blasted out of your bald head caps and spill your tea.
Awesome Movie!
Attempts to validate TNG material in the Real Trek universe should be appreciated.
Oh for the love of pete, they introduced the technology as being new and experimental in the episode. Scottie walked right through the cowboy hologram. We have that technology *today*, why couldn't they have it on a Connie?
