CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar

Everything associated with Axanar becomes more and more like Waiting For Guffman except they can't ever even get to rehearsals, let alone a finished product.
 
At least it's got a bunch of quotes to applicable to Peters and the Axanar devotees:
"Well, you’re just an idiot is what you are."
"They think they’re hot plasma, but they’re just a race full of angry, pig-nosed bloodworms!"
"Please quiet down. You’re embarrassing all of us."
 
The woman with the red wig? That's a DC Bombshells Batwoman costume.
Slow Lane.

Slow Lane.

Let's hope he never writes anything again.
I think the one thing that bugged me the most about it, is the fact that it didn't even really feel like Trek. Trek has always had a rather unique dialouge style, and he really didn't get it all in there. I find it especially ironic when they keep bragging about how the movie has the greatest Star Trek script ever, but if this is at all like the script of the movie, then they couldn't even recreate the feel of a Trek script at all, much less write the best one ever.

I agree, the dialogue didn't feel natural or have that stylized Star Trek cadence.

I think one of the things that made the script (and I read the whole thing) feel like fan writing was the presence of characters that would later be in Star Trek episodes as Starfleet captains -- Ron Tracy and Matt Decker. (I didn't recognize the other two drinking at that table.) While professional novels from Pocket sometimes use known characters in unexpected places, these just felt especially contrived. With mannerisms that point towards their later filmed actions. It just seemed to scream, "See what I did here?! See?! Aren't I clever?!" Just waaay over the top. And of course, learning pearls of wisdom from Garth by the end of the story.
