The references to classic Star Trek are the reason I watch the show. They may be quick, tiny bits of fun but they are enough. like this scene with Q, and 10 seconds later a bit about a "Salt Vampire". Not brilliant, but very funny to a Star Trek fan.

I'd be upset at an "official" word given of anything Trek that un-canonized something I hold dear. If "The Inner Light" were suddenly considered non-canon I'd be a wreck. Sure I can still enjoy the episode but the OCD in me would nag, and nag in the back of my mind telling me "you know none of...

Same here. I really tried, because my friend wanted me to like it so much!
