29->''"If this were a ''[[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine DS9]]'' episode, you could have headed back into the series' rich mythology and shown how these characters have changed over the years, but unfortunately the crew of ''Voyager'' look and act exactly the same way now as they did in ''Caretaker''...It doesn’t help that the former Maquis commander is the dullest character to have emerged from this series and plods through history with about as much personality as a [[TheGenericGuy mouldy old carrot]]."''

32->''"Now, I must confess that I’ve done this sort of thing before, getting bored with how a show was playing out, ending a match without warning, then moving on to something completely different and pretending that the preceding events never happened. Of course, I was eight years old at the time and my 'promotion' was made up of Hasbro WWF figures [[UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny and Ninja Turtles]], which meant that I was only disappointing an audience of one."''

37->''"The closest thing to opening up ''[[Videogame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]'' is the founding of Hyrule. But there was people living there ''before'', and considering how little Nintendo cares about the timeline, those people probably called it Hyrule to begin with.\
38That's sounds incredibly stupid doesn't it? That's probably what you're thinking. That ''would'' be incredibly stupid. It would '''almost''' be as incredibly stupid as the King of Hyrule passionately telling the children at the end of ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker The Wind Waker]]'' that their new land won't be called Hyrule, because he wanted the past washed away.\
39And then, within a few years, they discover a new continent. [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSpiritTracks Guess what they call it.]]"''

74->''"Very little on ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'' can be considered canon. If you try to find continuity on this show you'll drive yourself nuts. The only thing that's consistent is we try to make the show [[RapidFireComedy as funny as possible]]. And we'd never let a little thing like continuity get in the way of that."''

77->''"Continuity Alert: Sunday's WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons playfully re-interprets the show's timeline to allow Homer to be a teenager in the early '90s — The Simpsons is a 32-year-old series where the characters do not age, so the "canon" must be elastic/contradictory/silly. This does not mean other beloved classic The Simpsons flashback shows didn't happen. None of this happened. It's all made up. Every episode is its own Groundhog Day that only has make sense for that story (if that). There is no The Simpsons "canon" or "non-canon." There are only stories. If all these crazy things really happened to one family the characters would be in a mental hospital. If you love, hate or are completely indifferent to our Silly Putty paradoxical continuity, thank you so much for watching/caring about The Simpsons at any point in its 100000 years of existence.''
