Sure, if you call rape and sodomy of the canon “fantastic.”

“You see, in season 4, Kirk wore a yellow shirt with white and blue piping, but in season 5, the piping was more of a off-white and no blue. Mr. Roddenberry, how do you explain these inconsistencies? Does this presume the adoption of alternate universe Kirks and a modification in the Star Trek continuum?”

“It’s a fu*&ing TV show. Next question.”

The whole idea of canon in Star Trek is silly. It’s something put in there by the nerds, Gene changed his mind constantly. At one point he was shopping a show that would have shown the original Trek to be a TV show within the larger Trek universe, so much for canon. What made Abram’s Trek great is that it was fun again, TOS was fun show to watch, and with every succeeding spinoff and movie Trek became less fun and more obsessed with UN council style blathering.

Here’s a long great discussion on why Trek fan’s obsession with canon was always doomed and kind of silly (it’s 3 parts and he doesn’t cross link well so I’ll do it for him):
