CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar

[HMS Ark Royal]

Fortunately, the insane are non sui juris.

Or, in the knowledge of George Bush Jnr, able to become president

"There's an old saying in Tennessee—I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, fool me once, shame on—shame on you. Fool me—you can't get fooled again."— George Bush, Jr, Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2002

Once again, proudly following my tradition of getting an Axanar joke into each TNG caption quiz

Crusher: Are you alright, Captain?

Picard: What? Oh yes, Doctor... I'm just trying to make sense of this lawsuit from centuries ago that archeologists have uncovered. Did you know, for example, that the evil warlord Al'ec Peetars tried to take the property of a large corporation and pass it off as his own?

15,000th post. This thread is, though, of course an unripe idea and hasn't been locked. It's hard to say i 'post in it' because it doesn't yet exist.

You were actually the 15001 post, so I deleted one of my more pointless posts from earlier in the thread. Now you have the 15000 spot

But, perhaps, not so much of an Evil Warlord, as a Wormtongue Viceroy?

Not having that...

Your Honor, my client honestly believes he has the 15,000th post.

 

[HIjol]

But did he make a profit from it?

Not yet, so that argument is unripe!

TOS did it first. E.g, Spock's Brain.

Spocks Brain is far superior to anything I have seen from Fan productions. IMO.

IDK---even as a kid I was like "WTF is this?"

Ooh, I can't agree on that. New Voyages' "World Enough and Time" was terrific, Starship Exeter's productions were fun and creative. Star Trek Continues creates fun and exciting episodes that feel authentic in a classic sense. All of them are worth consideration as labors of love.

I wonder which fan productions you've seen. I personally don't have a problem with Spock's Brain, but I've seen fan episodes that are better written. They're not without problems, but well done none the less.

I agree. A couple of my favorite TOS adventures are from NV and STC.

"Spock's Brain" has the production values of a professional television production made in 1968, which is something that even the best-funded fan videos simply cannot compete with.

Now, "The Alternative Factor" is probably inferior to a few fan videos...

Yet, sadly, still superior to many fanfilms, once the rose-colored glasses come off.

I would upgrade "many" to "most," sadly. Still, I think a *few* manage to rise about "Factor."

Quoted for truth, and noted for irony.

I doubt if our budget was large enough for any color of glasses.

I meant viewers, not the filmmakers.
