Axanar dropped a plot spoiler about a month ago
- Thread starter Phantom
- Start date
Fan films and fan fiction are fanwank just by their very existence. Makes no difference if it's Star Trek, Star Wars, talking ponies, or comic book superheroes.
Hi guys,
I'm not a tech guy so if someone can tell me how to "tag" what might be a spolier, I'd be happy to do that. And I'm not trying to be cagey. It's just that this particular detail of the story/script is something I wish I did not know, and I suspect you will enjoy Axanar even more if you did noy know it in advance.
Best Regards,
Duane Bruner

Er, it has nothing but "canon" information, and then a subsection with some hypothetical stuff on The Four Years War from FASA.
Indeed. The "current" situation between the Klingons and Feds in the 2260s may not have been the nature of relations in the 2240s.
Always bummed me out that the Klingons were introduced so soon in Enterprise. It would have been great to have that first contact happen a little later and included all the "disaster" of Picard's remarks from TNG.
Click REPLY to a post. On the Reply to Thread screen, amongst the icons where you type your message is one that looks like this:
To use it, type out your message, then highlight the portion which contains the spoilers. Now click the
tag:" which means what appears on the spoiler tag in the message. For instance, I'm going to write a spoiler about Citizen Kane below, and the "option" text will be "WTF Rosebud means"
See?
See?

I read all the blurbs there about the characters. I of course reserve the right to wait and see the final film how they are all presented, but these blurbs tell me very little about who these characters are or what their personalities or motivations might be; that page is just a list of cardboard-cutout stats and tidbits, with just a twinge of Mary-Sue-ing up Garth thrown in from the other characters' descriptions.
I know it's just a fan film, but I sincerely hope the final script/film/presentation of these characters is more nuanced and dynamic.

So you got Maurice to explain in detail how to spoiler tag something just so you could ignore him?
Yeah, Corax is a shapeshifter.
Yeah, that's a bit of a douche move, Duane.
So Garth's plan might be the same as The Emperor's plan in Jedi? Leak to the enemy where you're building your Death Star / Constitution Class Ship. Klingon's / Rebels commit everything to a final attack only to find a fully functional Battle Station / Eneterprise. It's a Trap! will be yeeled by Karn.
I call "foul". The idea that Garth is a legendary officer is 100% canon. Even The Kirk admired him greatly.
I said as much a page or so back.
Except that doesn't work out. With the D-7s now in the war, they already said in Prelude that they would get their chronmeters cleaned by the Klingons, even with the Ares class. Soat least one Connie (probably Enterprise) is more than likely to show up at Axanar.

I never disputed Garth's being legendary.
I just said I thought it was shoddy writing (at this stage) to base the characterization of every single other Starfleet character on it. Nothing in those blurbs tells us, really, anything other than the fact that they all look up to and respect Garth.
I also allowed for the possibility that it's just the blurbs on the website that were poorly written. I'm keeping an open mind about it all, but the website descriptions are discouraging.
Some people are really proud of their shit. Like the purchase verification people at the exits of the big warehouse stores like Costco and Sam's Club, who act like they're guarding the bloody Pentagon!
No word of a lie. Those people are not messing around.
