stuart,
i don't think any of us who's opinion differs from yours deserve to be "pitied" and our reasons for thinking that what happened on the original series is canon are "flimsy".
it's nice that you enjoy new offerings under the d.s. banner.i'm sure many of them are quite good.
but,and i can only speak for myself,the sense of being in a "past tense" is part of the charm of the show.it is a time capsule of sorts.
i won't go so far as to compare d.s. to great cinematic works but no matter how many novels,sequels,comics,etc. one could come up with for "gone with the wind" or "the wizard of oz" there are just fans who will only accept what actually happened during the two or three hours of the original films as what was real about them.
