Well he could claim insanity and say he is Garth of Izar

I thought it was odd that nothing of Garth's egomania is present in his performance of Garth in the fan film (the only character with much of it would be Richard Hatch's Klingon); but I've been convinced he could convincingly convey that part of the character.

You kid, but I think i'd rather watch Axanar's "Hearts of Darkness" than "Apocalypse Now".

I hope that's a hypothetical name for a documentary about this whole affair, like Man in La Mancha.

CBS/Paramount acquires all assets of Aries Studio, which would, of course, include Axanar and all related material. They polish up the script and do it as a straight-to-DVD feature. And actually get tons of good publicity out of it, as well as whetting the appetite for the new series.

I never understand this line of thought. Why do anything but shred it when they are surrounded with talent untainted by Anaxargate?

Indiegogo is very aggressive when it comes to sales. I can't tell you how many emails they sent practically begging and offering everything under that sun if we left Kickstarter and had the STR Episode 2 drive with them. We obviously stayed with Kickstarter.

So much for their terms of service, I guess. Renegades may be aboveboard (and I believe it is), but the IP situation isn't really any different there. If they follow their own terms of service, they shouldn't even be offering.

I've never actually contributed to a crowdfunding campaign, but if I did, it would probably be a Kickstarter - and that's before all of this happened. :)

Oh. Well. Now that you have explained it with all of the pop culture references, I can see now how prison rape is funny. Thanks.
....

Oh. Well. Now I'm confused, rape ISN'T funny?

Anyway. This is all OT.

The joke isn't about rape... the joke is about the common perception of prison... specifically skinny white boy's perception of prison....

I need to go back and watch this movie soon... it's been too long.

Exactly. Far easier and cleaner to simply stomp it out of existence.
 
Also explains some of the poor research in his These Are the Voyages books... 846 porn "writing" credits doesn't leave a lot of time for hitting the books... "hitting" meaning reading... not in the porn way.
 
I updated my earlier blog post on Axanar Coffee. It turns out I made an incorrect assumption. Donald Hillenbrand, a collector of "Star Trek" props and costumes, wrote to let me know that I was slightly off-base when I said General Chang and Commander Kharn had "similar" costumes:

The costume that Richard Hatch is wearing is not just a copy of Plummer's costume from ST6. It IS Plummer's costume (or one of them). Peters got it direct from Paramount a few years back. So the image of his Klingon character on a coffee label is wearing a Paramount-created (and I assume specifically copyrighted?) costume. I don't know if Soval's Vulcan robes are also from production, but I do know that a friend of mine was approached by Peters regarding borrowing her Soval robes. She declined. But there would be several sets out there.
