CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar

As far as I'm concerned the film is a tour de force of prioritized budgeting. He got a brand new model (Reliant) and innovative early CGI and first-rate battle scenes courtesy of ILM. The only FX shot off the top of my head that didn't work that well was the underground matte shot. Even though many TMP assets were recycled, they still came across as different. The bridge was redressed, the new uniforms, the conversion of the Klingon bridge into the Regula I control room. Just the right amount of money was spent doing just what was necessary to give the Trek universe that soft-reboot into a nautical feel.

This always blew me away.

Well I put up the following on that Youtube comments page (which I'm sure will be removed soon:

So, this is all you can muster after a full year of promising the next two segment of Axanar are 'coming soon'. A behind the scenes look from 2013 at what people NO LONGER WITH YOUR project were able to accomplish. Why not stop promising, and actually deliver something for the $2+ million you received from the backers of your project?

At best, RMB is a discount Charles de Lauzirika who lacks the ability to stay impartial when making a documentary about a film he enjoys/takes a part in. Taking a hard pass on that doc.

Ah, you edited your post to add the torp bay, but actually pieces of the reactor room were recycled into the ST4 Klingon bridge.

To be more specific, the front 2/3rds of the TMP Klingon bridge became the torpedo room, and the far back back walls of the set (where the gunnery chairs were) is what was repurposed to be the reactor room walls. When they did TSFS their BOP bridge was the back part of the TMP Klingon bridge (circular platform where the helm was, and pit below where the gunnery chairs were). As you say, bits of these then ended up in the TVH BOP bridge.
 
To preserve the false perception of progress. It's an active attempt to say "See? We're still here! We need more money to finish the job!" Like you say, there are many people out there who don't realize that none of the people in that video, save AP, will have anything further to do with the project and still act to support it blindly without researching its history.

Sadly, lots of companies do this during proposal time. They gather tons of resumes for a proposal to show a potential client the list of talent they could bring to the table if they won the bid. None of them, of course, will actually be hired for said proposal, as the bid grant likely won't happen within a reasonable amount of time for any of the potential workers to still be available on the market. It's a complete fabrication... and it happens literally every day and is completely legal, more's the pity...

Those clunky oversized rented communicators didn't help, though.

I was fine with them, as steampunk as they were. It's not like they were going to keep using the atypical wrist-communicators from TMP.

I love the wrist communicators. Particularly now with my Apple Watch which could more or less double for one. :)

Because it's Christmas Time, and Axanar is the gift that keeps on giving.
