There's always the tiny chance of four 10K donations just in the nick of time ... the Midnight Redshirts! ("It's a Christmas miracle!")
STC: To Boldly Indiegogo

Funny, i was thinking the exact opposite, namely the statement could have been a "warrant canary" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrant_canary).
After the "disappearance" of NV's online presence last week, i already tought, that CBS might not have liked the press, they got for their call to Tommy Kraft and added a "don't speak about this in public" condition to their call.
New Voyages state they have not been contacted. No idea why James took the Facebook page down, but the website is just undergoing maintenance. They're also busy doing set construction this weekend, so I don't think there's any reason for anyone to doubt their word. As I said to someone else the other day, there's no conspiracy here.

Kipleigh Brown who plays Ensign (apparently now Lt. Smith) on STC is in the most recent video posted to the STC FB page. It's a pretty good pitch on her part I must say.
Candidly I think they should have had the cast making these videos much earlier than at this eleventh hour, but better late than never I suppose. Of course early on they likely didn't forsee how this contribution drive would falter to this extent.

Ah, that makes sense. Maybe they should have used Vic's picture, but in all fairness it's hard to know the proper thing to do when STC is quoting TOS.
All the more reason to do an On Demand extension.
I concur with this opinion.
And, it would have been odd to continue campaigns in that light.
I can only conclude that there is a disinformation war occurring in which one sub-group in the fan base is intentionally spreading disinformation which adversely impacts another part of the fan base.
That behavior is despicable.
If AP is any example for some of his followers then I can easily believe this very thing is happening. They are stupidly setting out to wreck something they profess to care about to save something else that is already in the trash bin.
One can only speculate as to who went crying to Shatner about the use of his picture, no doubt painting STC's homage in the worst possible light. That must have been personally devastating to Vic, who has been doing all this out of a sincere admiration for Shatner's work.
Yes, 2 episodes a year (on average) no underhand gimmicks - fantastic guest stars and a dedication and love for what they do.
In the other thread discussing the lawsuit (at great length) the point is raised how AP openly and frequently badmouths Vic and accuses him of making every effort to sabotage AP and Axanar. AP is accusing Vic of the very thing AP himself is actually doing while there is not one shred of evidence Vic has done any such thing.
If Vic were badmouthing AP and Axanar you can bet word of it would get around.
AP could resent Vic simply because Vic has done everything AP has failed to do. Vic also comports himself in a far, far classier manner than AP could ever understand. They are nowhere on the same level.

Unfortunate but not unexpected. The more popular STC becomes the more of a threat it will be. It's not intended of course but some will see it that way. For whatever reason, Vic has enemies and they are a small but vicious group. STC is capable of making a "classic" and once that happens things will change some for the better and some not.
Called to Shatner's attention? In fact, the Shat has a recent history of Twitter Vigilance regarding unlicensed use of his image that extends well beyond fan films.
As far as I can tell, multiple donations from the same person are registered separately in the donor count on Indiegogo. I wonder how many distinct individual donors there have been in this campaign.
Yes since you can pick how you want to be "registered" each time you make a donation. I personally made two under different "names". I suspect it's not that uncommon. I wonder if it was the same with Kickstarter?
Kickstarter, I thought, was different in that you could change your perk level up or down at any time because the money wasn't transferred till the end. I never tried getting multiple perks on Kickstarter (and I'm not sure it's possible under the same registration), but I have on Indiegogo. Even under the same registration, it seems that the different donations are counted as separate "donors."
