Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Lazy Sunday!
*glomps*
Actually, in most fandoms it's standard procedure that if it's not on screen (whether spoken dialogue or visual cues), it's not canon, per the ruling of that TV show/movie's PTB. Star Trek is probably the best known example of this. There are other fandoms where secondary materials like novels are considered canon (like Babylon 5 and Star Wars), but that's only because the creators/PTB of those fandoms have made an official statement declaring such materials to be canon.
Stargate's PTB have publicly stated on more than one occasion (including Mallozzi on his blog) that the novels/audio dramas are NOT canon. And until they make an official statement rescinding that declaration, it'll stay that way, no matter what some fans may say. So if we don't like the way the novels go, we're free to ignore them.
*blushes* Heehee! And the scary thing is, now I've got an idea for an AU of Restoration in which they never reestablished contact with Earth. Oh, what fun. *headdesk*
It's certainly my canon! (Or at least, a slightly modified version of it is)
And yeah, I've voted.
*cackles* Oh, that sounds like so much fun!
True, that. Heck, the only reason why I got Angelus was because of the numerous references to Elizabeth even though she was gone. I haven't picked up Nightfall, the other post-Lifeline novel available, and I'm not going to.
Hah!
