"....but.....you
do not want to do things that are going to piss off CBS.......now, we may well be the worst offender of that....."
"we have to be very smart about what we're doing considering we're using their IP......"
-I think it's been made clear by now that he has no right to talk about 'false legitimacy'.........
"they
should let us, because we
care......"
Okay RMB......for all the good intentions behind that statement, you're still working with 1st grade logic....
-His description about Axanar & the Custodianship of the 'Star Trek Franchise' is classic fanboy delusion......possibly mixed with some of his Jameson too - no one aside from his acolytes is going to take him seriously. C/P own the copyrights, they make the films,
they have 'custodianship' of the franchise, plain and simple.
-Alec's point about reverance for the source material and giving fans what they want, I will concede that I do understand where he's coming from...........there are alot of fans out there who love the original series films, who grew up with them and remember the era with a healthy dose of nostalgia. That era is
gone - I don't know how clear I can make that point. Further, indulging the nostalgia of a group of fans is definitely no excuse...........(and again, I'll point to Phase II, Continues etc to underline this point)
-Now where he talks about the 'trolls' being 'twenty seven percenters' who want something for nothing are just out to tear you down.........this whole bit is where his narcissism and self-delusion really get put on display. I'm not even going to validate that BS, because we've all been refuting it for the last 3 months and 600-odd forum pages here.
-Also, in the last 600-odd forum pages, the issue of facebook groups going from public to private, rampant forum censorship and Terry's blatantly unprofessional behavior have been brought up numerous times........so please RMB, don't act like you have any grounds on which to talk about 'civil discourse'.............
Didn't make it to the end though..............
