Most stories that are invalid here have practical reasons for being so from a real-world point of view. Such things as "the story was a joke to the writers" or "it wasn't meant to be taken seriously." Not something like "oh it contradicts [some dumb comic or something]." Exactly. This doesn't go out of its way to contradict other stories. In my opinion, treating Shalka and the New Series as just being equally valid, if differing, accounts is the best way to go.
